@Mama I understand all of that so much. My SO and I got into an argument two weeks ago, and I kind of felt the same way. I know one argument here and there doesn’t change our goals and plans, but sometimes I think that I’m just so tired of all the stress of everything combined. I totally see where you are coming from.

@Mama sorry you're having a rough go. I totally agree the two weeks waiting to O are way worse than the TWW. At least during the TWW you can relax and not have to worry about "Did we BD enough?" "Should we BD again tonight or is it too soon?" and all of that. I got a huge temp rise this morning but i'm still getting some ewcm. What the heck? I hope I actually did O or i'm going to have to get back on the BD train very quickly!
@Momma I think i've been lucky my cycles didn't vary too much after my loss. My O date has been moving up significantly since i started the metformin. I guess ultimately that is good because shorter cycles mean more chances!

I make it a personal goal not to argue with DH -- nothing good comes from it! It's taken us a while to be able to discuss our issues and resolve things without arguing but i honestly can't remember the last time we had a fight. Hopefully that means our relationship is good and he's not suppressing things and i'm being naive - LOL!

@mama sorry the arguing is occurring. Levels of stress always heightens things. I'm sure you two will work things out.

@lissa, I figured as much.

So. I had my first hot flash from the Clomid. No upset stomach like yesterday but boy did that hot flash shock me. Today is my SO's birthday, we are going to his favorite resturant tonight and then tomorrow trip to Stone Mountain the big granite rock near Atlanta Ga.

Even though I'm not near Oing hoping to get some BDing in ita been 3.5 weeks since we did and I just want some lovin.

Momma I know. We go thru phases tho. We’ve been together 10 years now we have great days and bad days. Its all just stressful. I’m really considering not tracking or anything the next few months if I don’t get a BFP this month. I say that but it becomes addictive and I do it anyway. And I’ve learned so much from tracking my temps and with the help of you guys. It’s hard to just stop doing all of it.

@bug that sounds like a wonderful weekend!! We are going to a monster truck rally tonight and kayaking tomorrow. I just started a pre AF migraine, so hopefully this Aleeve will kick in fast!
@lissa I feel the same as you about the arguing. I keep it to a minimum cuz it does no good. But I feel like I keep my mouth shut too much about things that bother me just to avoid confrontation.
@mama I hear ya on the addictive tracking. I have wanted to just go with the flow and not track, but it is addicting. Plus I’m a control freak who likes to know what’s going with my body lol.

Yes tracking is addictive. And a habit now.

I can't imagine a day when I don't wake up and take my.temp. It is totally habit now. Even when I was on the meds and the RE told me to stop I kept on temping. I could easily stop the opk though. I'm a little fanatical about checking cm and CP I'm embarrassed to admit. That's one thing I hate about the progesterone suppositories cause I can't check during the tww. I really hope I o'd. Cm is sticky but also mixed with what looks like egg white. CP is definitely lower. Just want to go to sleep so I can get up and check my temp, maybe get some cross hairs. But someone has to ride these horses before the rain hits this weekend! Hope you all have relaxing, fun weekends ahead of you! Do some BD even if you don't have to just for funsies!

Have fun with the horses. Yes, BIRTHDAY boy got some Birthday BD, after 3.5 weeks it was definatly for funsies.

So I woke up this morning with some spotting. Cycle day 16. Not sure why. My temps are looking good to me at least. Still negative opks. What do you think this spotting could be? Momma what do you think of my chart?

Well spotting has turned into flow....what the heck
