My chart sucks this month, due to the high temps outside, the AC being put in, and me being sick. I can’t even tell if I ovulated for sure or not – though it’s looking like a yes, especially since I got that positive OPK.<\/p>\n
But I need to rant a little here. [Note: I’m not talking about anyone I know online!]<\/p>\n
First off, in regards to me charting. I’m really getting annoyed by people telling<\/i> me to stop charting, that stopping will somehow miraculously get me pregnant. Not only is that false logic by a massive overgeneralizations by the few “experiences” they’ve known (like a friend who got pregnant after stopping charting, or them getting pregnant while never charting), but I find it rather rude and presumptive. This is what I DO. I can’t stop planning and being detail-oriented any more than I can turn naturally redhaired. I could MASK it, sure – but that doesn’t change who I am, now does it.<\/p>\n
Secondly, when I mentioned offhand that I am considering trying to have a natural childbirth you could have thought I’d announced I was moving to africa until we had a baby in the wilderness. I’m glad that other people have options available – that’s great! I’m sorry your birth was such a difficult one and you felt like you were going to die – although I might point out that the pitocin they gave you probably made it a lot worse (which they even admitted, so honestly they have no clue how it might have been without any meds). But it is a personal decision, and it’s my choice – and it would have been nice to have even a little bit of support and encouragement – from anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
