Pretty much the title. Interested in moving to Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow). Not sure where to look or where to start, or if it’s even really possible. Thoughts? Thanks.
Rant, these flock cameras piss me off. I can’t believe there’s not more people enraged by being under mass surveillance.
Can someone give me feedback so I don’t feel so cray. Feeling a bit discouraged, we finally had a really great month. Did our best to hit as many fertile days in my window as we could. I got my peak on CBAD on the 14, but my BBT didn’t rise until 5 days later (the 19th), so I’m assuming I ovulated yesterday? (The 18th?) I really don’t know. I could test my PDG, but I’m confused now if I should test based on my first positive LH, or after my suspected ovulation from my premom/natural cycles apps. I’m wondering what my chances are this cycle if we TTC on 14,15,16, and 19th? Maybe I’m overthinking it.
Hi everyone! I’m craving a baked bbq pork bun, and maybe some other pastries like a pineapple bun, etc. Any recommendations in the area?
The family I am with has an aggressive dog. He has bitten the child once while I was there, he bit the mom another time, and today he attacked their contractor. He had him by the leg and wouldn’t let go. I had to yell and pull him off and I scared he was going to bite me. I tried to call for the mom and she said no because she was on a work call!? I couldn’t believe it.
I started crying because I was so shaken up, my adrenaline was insane. I left early. But in all honesty, I want to quit. I feel so uncomfortable and just like eff that! My contract with them is over in August anyway. What should I do? What can I say if I leave?
Edit: just want to add this is a 25/30lb dog, he’s pretty big
UPDATE: I quit, I think they knew it was coming. Phone call was only 4min, she apologized. It was awkward, sad, and awful. Thank you all for your feedback and help.
Husband has been busy and frustrated at work, I tried what I felt like was my best to ttc during my fertile window but was rejected everytime. I don’t want to put pressure on him because I feel like it ruins the moment and romance of it all.
Being rejected is hard, but being rejected while ttc feels 100x worse. How do you all cope with this? I can’t be the only person struggling?
It’s all that this isn’t the first month this has happened. My partner struggles with the pressure of it all so month after month I do ALL the things to prepare, and many times I’m met with rejection. We’ve talked about so much, I’m just burnt out on the whole process. Sometimes, like right now, I want to give up.
I met a family a few months back who was looking for occasional babysitting for their 5yo daughter. I’ve been going over for just an hour or two while they workout/wrap up work/make dinner etc. Recently, they asked me to do the bedtime routine while they have a date night.
Since I’ve only been with this kid for a few hours, I really didn’t know her. Fast forward to date night, the parents send a huge list of tasks, and I was freakin flabbergasted, and need to vent about it haha
Y’all, what would you do? How would you react?
EDIT: they live next door to my nanny family, that’s why I only go over for a few hours. I didn’t know about this list until an hour before my arrival. I’m not going back, lol. Just thought you would all get a good wtf moment out of what was an exhausting night for me 😂
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has experienced confusing ovulation tracking. I’ve never really had a true “peak” LH test on strips, and I’ve only had one positive Clearblue Digital result. The confusing part is that my BBT didn’t rise until about a week later, which makes me think I may have actually ovulated much later than the positive OPK suggested.
How do you determine your true fertile window when LH tests and BBT don’t seem to line up? Could I be missing a short surge, ovulating later, or having failed ovulation attempts before actually ovulating? I also wonder if hormone fluctuations, stress, or timing of testing could affect results. I’d love to hear from anyone with similar experiences or advice on tracking more accurately.
There’s many of us, myself included, who post questions in the weekly chat and could use help 🥹 please and thank you!
Hi everyone 👋 Apologies if this has been asked a million times before I couldnt really find a solid answer or support.
This cycle my Natural Cycle app is saying I ovulated later in the month CD 22 vs initial CD 27. I did have a positive ovulation test on LH strip and with my Clear Blue Ovulation test. If I’m understanding correctly, this means my body tried to ovulation but didn’t until a few days later. I didn’t keep testing LH after the initial surge because I just assumed the surge = my body is trying.
Does this mean in the future I should continue testing until I see a consistent rise in BBT? Also, any helpful tips from folks who have similar bodies and cycle’s would make me feel a bit better as I feel like…I’m messing up every month. TTC can feel so isolating.
