Is Mira too conservative about ovulation?

After completing my first full cycle with Mira, I’m a bit frustrated that it’s being so equivocal about whether I ovulated. As far as I can see, I had a definitive LH peak around the halfway point, followed by a significant pdg rise and then a drop right before my period. “PdG levels did not rise” just seems completely untrue. Sure, all my numbers are on the lower side of the chart compared to others that I’ve seen where the numbers are sitting around the top. But surely it should be measuring compared to your baseline? Anyone else experience this?

The aggravation of the ‘just stop trying so hard’ comments

Boils my bean when people who’ve either never tried, or got pregnant easily, tell you to ‘just stop trying so hard to get pregnant.’ Because once you ‘stop trying’ then it will surely happen! It must be just the stress!

It’s a lovely way to put blame on the person trying. If you can’t get pregnant easily, it must be because you’re doing something wrong! Never mind that people in refugee camps get pregnant, people doing their med school finals get pregnant, CEOs get pregnant, women who are imprisoned and subject to unimaginable circumstances get pregnant. No, if you’re not pregnant yet, it must be because you’re ’trying too hard’ and therefore deserve to be not-pregnant.

When it comes to infertility, everyone is an expert, apparently.

Won a 5060ti - worth upgrading?

Hi all,

I was lucky enough to win a new Palit 5060ti 16gb at a tech conference recently.

My current build is a few years old with specs:

- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB GDDR6X OC Edition

- 7800X3D

- 32GB DDR5 RAM

- Main monitor WQHD 3440 x 1440

Wondering if it’s worth swapping out my 4070ti for the 5060ti, and selling the 4070ti? Or just selling the 5060ti? I’m seeing some mixed messages about which card is actually better.

Main games I’m playing at the moment:

- Minecraft (modded out the wazoo)
- Starfield
- Arc Raiders
- Battlefield 6
- Cyberpunk

Otherwise just use the computer for standard household activities and work - no special applications.

Keen to hear what others would do in my situation?

We learned in the previous season that the residents of the town made some kind of deal with an evil entity, sacrificing their children for immortality.

We generally assume that the monsters are these townspeople. They can’t be easily killed, and are reborn if they die. Immortal, but cursed.

What if that assumption is wrong?

We’ve met two other technically ‘immortal’ people - Tabitha and Jade. They die, but they are always reborn and return to the town.

So what if *everyone* in the town is a reincarnation? And they keep coming back to the town again and again, life after life, to be punished and destroyed for their sin? Immortality, with a terrible catch.

Bonus theory: What if the monsters are their children? Sacrificed and enslaved by evil, with the sole purpose of tormenting the parents who traded them for eternal life? There is something childlike about them. They seem to play with the townsfolk. They smile. They make stacks of stones and draw on walls and follow rules that don’t seem to make sense. Maybe these are the children that need to be saved to free everyone from Fromville.

It’s definitely not a “solves everything” theory, and I’m sure it’s been mentioned before, but I thought it was worth bringing up as food for thought.
