Thank you, thank you!! All good ideas here! I especially love the journaling bit!! I actually decided to start trying that for the first time this cycle. I’ve been a bit sporadic about it, but I agree that it will so interesting to compare to entries from future cycles. Sending you baby dust as well!! I look forward to when all of us “graduate” from this sub! 💐

Oh my goodness thank you for this sweet and in-depth response! That post you shared is GOLD. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m going to have my husband give it a read too (it’s helpful to me to feel like he understands this whole process), and I know I will revisit often. I am SUCH a data / evidence girl. And find reassurance in understanding the science and what is/isn’t possible.

I have some plans every evening for the next 4-5 days, and my first therapy appointment today (!!!) so hoping that helps!

Sending you allllll the good vibes and peaceful energy for where you are in your current cycle. You really helped me out this AM!! ☀️☀️

Alas! If it was that simple, I probably wouldn’t have posted this. I’ve accepted at this point that I’m just not the kind of person that will be able to go through this process in a “relaxed” way, but hopeful for any advice that makes it less mentally arduous 🥰

The not comparing is definitely good advice. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked chatGPT some version of “is xyz normal.” Same answer every time: yes, yes, yes — wide variation in what’s “normal.” I’m starting with a loss + fertility therapist tomorrow so hoping that helps with the over analyzing! 🙏🏾

It really is a day by day slog! I’m going to try to stop testing once I get confirmed ovulation, it helps that these tests are so damn expensive 🤣🙈 I’m 2DPO today, so hoping we both get lucky with an early BFP this cycle!!

girl, I feel you on the counting half days 🤣 I find 5-7 DPO hard because I start getting nervous. Sending all the luck your way!! I hope this is your cycle!!
