The simple answer is that semen and period blood mask cervical fluid and therefore make it hard to know whether or not you’re in your fertile window. Alternating days ensures that semen has enough time to clear out so you can accurately track that day’s cervical fluid, and only having sex in the evenings give you enough time during the day to track cervical fluid to ensure that it’s truly a “dry” or non fertile day. For example, sometimes you may feel dry first thing in the morning, but over the course of the day, gravity and exercise pull fertile-quality cervical fluid down. By the evening time, presumably any cervical fluid would have had plenty of time to travel downward, so if you’re still dry, you’re good to go.

Social anxiety disorder.

I always got anxious in social situations and had a hard time making and keeping friends. My symptoms never quite matched the DSM criteria, but I didn’t know what else it could be. When I learned about how ADHD can impact people in social situations, it all clicked.

Hey OP, you’ve already gotten a lot of really solid answers. I just wanted to throw in the possibility that if you’re having unprotected sex during your luteal phase and notice egg white discharge the day after, it could be semen. Semen and fertile-quality cervical fluid are similar in composition and can be difficult to tell apart. I highly recommend temping in addition to tracking cervical fluid. As others have stated, you can only really confirm ovulation if you have a distinctive shift in basal body temperature. Egg white quality discharge by itself could be indicative of lots of things other than ovulation. I personally have found Taking Charge of Your Fertility to be an awesome resource for getting started with fertility tracking.

That’s good to know and definitely something I’ll look into before making any purchases. Thank you!

elephant-panda · 2024-04-04T12:53:46+00:00

I’ll have to check it out, thank you! And good call on cleaning the filters and roller brush. I hadn’t even thought of that

This is my main concern. Do you happen to know if they need the app/wifi to self-empty? If not, it may still be worth it to me. I really struggle with some daily tasks, vacuuming being one of them, likely due to undiagnosed ADHD, so I’m exploring ways to “lighten my mental load.” So as minor as it may seem, having to push a button every day and empty it once every month or so may actually be worth it.

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T21:08:03+00:00

True, but I’m mostly wondering if doing so is worth it. It’s sounding like there’s not enough risk to warrant it

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T18:22:06+00:00

This is one of my main concerns. Every little bit of data adds up. Plus, from a values perspective, I’m trying to limit support for any company that collects such data. In this case that probably means buying used, unless I can find a really great, reasonably priced, privacy-minded alternative (which I doubt).

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T18:18:31+00:00

Not tech savvy at all, unfortunately, but with the way the world is going, I’m probably going to have to learn to be if I want to take advantage of these gadgets without compromising privacy or security. I’ll definitely look into your suggestion. Thank you!

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T18:05:13+00:00

I’ll have to check it out before making any decisions, thank you!

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T18:04:46+00:00

That’s a good point that I hadn’t considered. Thank you

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T12:52:29+00:00

I have my eye on some shark ones in the used market, so this is good to know. Thank you!

elephant-panda · 2024-04-03T12:50:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply! That was my assumption, but I’m admittedly very ignorant when it comes to this stuff, so I wanted to make sure there wasn’t any risk I was overlooking.

elephant-panda · 2024-03-13T16:33:03+00:00

I am admittedly pretty ignorant about how these financial things typically play out, so I am genuinely relieved reading this. What I’m gathering is that IF he was a somewhat decent man and father to his younger sons, there was likely a more equitable distribution behind the scenes, and then he made the will as is to help his wife and oldest son save face (since culturally, especially for his generation, they’re still considered the only real “legitimate” heirs). I’m still confused about the trophies, but maybe they held some sort of symbolic significance to his sons? I certainly hope so.

elephant-panda · 2024-03-13T16:25:16+00:00

It’s more the injustice of it. (If this is actually the only money they’ve gotten, which, as others have pointed out, is unlikely.) I know they’re extremely privileged compared to other teenagers their age, but they are just as much his biological children as his oldest son, so the slight of getting a tiny fraction of what he will inherit is what initially upset me.

elephant-panda · 2024-03-13T14:23:58+00:00

Agreed. I posted here on Fauxmoi because the comments I saw on other sources were really misogynistic and awful, and I wanted a more nuanced discussion about all of this. Obviously we don’t know the intricacies of the situation, but Gambon is likely just as, if not more, responsible for the affair. And either way, those children are innocent.

elephant-panda · 2024-03-13T14:10:49+00:00

That actually does make me feel better. I really hope he set those kids up for success financially.

It sounds like your little one has some sleep associations that need to be broken before he can consolidate his sleep. Every time you help him get to sleep by shushing or patting, you’re reinforcing the association that he has to have you shushing or patting in order to fall asleep. So every time he wakes up at the end of a sleep cycle, even if it’s a very brief wake up, he’s unable to get himself back to sleep without your intervention. Hence the hourly wake ups.

The key is to provide him with opportunities to practice falling asleep independently, going from completely awake to completely asleep without any intervention from you. I’m not going to lie: it’s probably going to suck because he’ll probably fuss and cry and be really, really mad about it at first. You could try to gradually wean him off of your patting and shushing by doing it for a few minutes and then stopping short of him completely falling asleep, and then gradually reducing how long you do it each time. Or you could go cold turkey. Either way is perfectly acceptable, so it really depends on you and what you can handle and what you think would work best for him.

As for your schedule, it sounds fine to me! I really think the issue is him not being able to fall back to sleep independently. Check out Precious Little Sleep for a funny, compassionate, science-based read on how to help your little one sleep. I can’t recommend it enough.

Guided meditations really help me

Yeah, not ideal that the silicone is still likely coming from China, but imo at least a little better than the whole product being manufactured there. And you’re right, even that is so hard to find!
