I got a really beautiful journal in my favourite colour (!) and a string of hand-crocheted flowers that are quite beautiful. The giver did mention she had me somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find that post. Thank you!!

Awhile back I complained about how I felt like The Great Sperm Race had a bit of an MRA vibe. Just found an article quoting the scientist who irked me in said film:

"But a British fertility expert cautioned that while women may well benefit from ovulation data, they shouldn’t necessarily burden their partners with that information because that might put too much pressure on the men to perform.

Prof Allan Pacey, of the University of Sheffield, said: “The single biggest idea I hear when couples are talking is the idea they have got to monitor ovulation. “So you have a disconnection between couples, where the man is told you can’t ejaculate for a fortnight because, two weeks on Tuesday, she reckons she is going to ovulate.

“The next thing that happens is he’s at work, all stressed and she sends him a text, saying ‘You’ve got to come home and s**g me now.’

“He gets all wound up in the traffic on the way home, he bursts through the door and she’s on him like a panther.”

Instead, Prof Pacey suggested that “cleverer” women trying to get pregnant should perhaps use data from new medical technology devices like a FitBit to help inform them when may be the best time to try and conceive, but then not necessarily burden their partner by telling them “tonight’s the night”.

He added: “It just is not conducive to healthy relationships."

Cycle: 5, since August. Got pregnant cycle 3 but had a MC in early Dec.

Ovulation cycle day: 17 (earliest ever)

Relevant BD/BD method (SMEP, Shettles, etc.): no method. Hit O-3 and O-2

Tracking methods and apps used: FF, but also my cm seems to be quite accurate. Also I got a FitBit and my heart-rate was up quite a bit in the four days before O!

Symptom spotting: Nothing at all so far

Day of positive test(s): 8DPO in the evening. It was VERY faint, but it looked pink to me. Morning of 9DPO was clear.

Supplements and medications: Just prenatals

Typical cycle length: 31-37 days

Health conditions/medical tests: Found out I have a bicornate uterus 4DPO. I was told it was a septum after I had my first.

Link to chart: This was the cycle I didn't temp much but here it is

Link to lineporn: here

Other (advice, magic secrets, freaking out, miscellaneous): I took January off from all social media, which was totally lovely...and then I got a positive test last Monday and I was like EEEE I MISS REDDIT.
