Daval, given your "luck" w/ the rhythm method, you're not going to want to hear this, but... my wife and I have had great success over the past two years with Natural Family Planning (which really isn't the same thing as rhythm). Pre-kids and in between the birth of our two kids, my wife was on the pill. When she quit so we could try to conceive, we got pregnant the very first month (we think the first time during each month) we tried to have kids. That being the case, we know she is very fertile, so lack of infertility cannot be the reason for our luck.
I have to admit that I was NOT thrilled w/ this concept, but my wife is great and I agreed to support her wishes, since it meant a lot to her (and since I hate wearing condoms and really didn't mind it if we had another kid). Here is the absolute BEST (!!!) part of NFP: it results in us having a LOT (!!!) more sex during the "safe" times of the month, since you have the "use it, or lose it" attitude; and it results in us having lots of horny petting / oral / titty / you-name-it (but not vaginal) sex sessions during the "unsafe" times of the month, which builds GREAT anticipation for the time when we can start having sex again. I don't know about you, but when you are married or living w/ someone and can have sex whenever you want, that anticipation factor, which is what makes things REALLY hot, tends to wane. It is very exciting to have this back in our relationship.

Well, this is basically what we are doing....I just assumed it was called the rythm method. But even with the natural planning method it can still be dangerous and mistakes can be made. We've been lucky so far - we were using it for 4 years after daughters birth and like you said - when we tried to have our son he was concieved within like 2 weeks to my great dissapointment - i was looking forward to much more sex.
Our daughter was concieved cause we did it when we weren't supposed to. I blame all the tequila we were drinking that night
