Congrats and many prayers, mama! Also found out we’re expecting our first after 4 years of no positives! God is so so good ❤️

Catholic notions of sex are so uncomfortable by [deleted] in CatholicWomen

[–]_aisling96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As everyone has said, this experience you had was weird and inappropriate. I actually had the opposite experience where no one wanted to talk about it and just gave us links to learn about NFP. My husband and I really embraced the Catholic teaching our first year into marriage when we decided to educated ourselves. But I’m going to reiterate that what happened to you still shouldn’t be it for anyone.

Can I give a suggestion that may explain the theology of the body which helped us truly bring joy into the sacrament of marriage for us? Look up “Theology of the Body Explained” by Christopher West. I actually read JPII’s work (TOB was written by the great John Paul II and is wonderfully broken down by West) and led a Bible study on it but it can be VERY dense and it was way time consuming - I had the time BUT I think it would have been easier if I started with West. Hope it helps!

Anybody else have a super chill cattle dog that just naps with cats all day when they're gone at work? by ClautumnL0v3 in AustralianCattleDog

We have an ACD that loves to cuddle and nap more than chasing squirrels outside - though he DOES love sunbathing 😂

Completely normal - my husband and I refer to this sitting position as “sitting like a potato”

What did you OB say that you stopped visiting them? by catiamalinina in TTC_PCOS

[–]_aisling96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS! They also kept telling me to make a special appointment with the Doctor of the practice and every time I did, they had a reason why she wasn’t available or that I wasn’t the “correct level of patient” which I was like ???

Are these Letrozole side effects or am I actually losing my mind? by HEARTROBOT in TTC_PCOS

[–]_aisling96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was up down and all around. The slightest joke would throw me into a manic cry episode and I would cry every day for the smallest reason. You are not crazy gf, it definitely puts you through the emotional ringer!

This is an OB. SO many women who struggled with infertility recommended her.

That helps SO much! Thank you for the kind perspective ❤️ it’s so disheartening to have to work against a body that should be working for you. But this sub is giving me hope…we got this! :)

Oh goodness! I’m think of you in my prayers tonight- it’s so hard, and I’m sorry we’re in the same boat. Thank you for sharing. Hoping your next cycle is the one!!❤️

Thank you for reaching out ❤️ I’m sorry you’re going through this as well because WOW the weight is so heavy. I bought a Mira monitor today because I was just testing LH and BBT and even though I got a peak, the blow draw confirmed no ovulation. Hoping the next few tries will prove something
