So I was ordered by my OB to quit charting because it was causing me too much stress. I was always like "hmm i wonder what my temp will be tomorrow".

Well i miss it!
I've been kinda cheating and charting CM but I haven't taken my temp once. Soooo I really have no idea what is going on!


AAAAHHH the maddness. And waiting to test is killing me... 3 days till AF is supposed to arrive. Hoping she stays away for 9 months!

My RE told me to quit too. What he doesn't know can't hurt him. Besides.....I am so much more stressed when I am not charting that it is pathetic!

Charting is stressful. Do you feel more comfortable charting or not charting?

I think i would be more stressed if I wasn't charting because I'd have no clue what was going on! I think that if you are more stressed now than you were while you were charting that maybe you should pick it up again...?

I don't pay any attention to doctor's thoughts on this. I think THEY think it causes more stress. To me not charting is more stressful.

I would do it anyway.

Now that I have been charting, I think it would be stressful to not do it. I think it's stressful to do it to, but more stressful to not do it. Does that even make sense?? lol

Congrats!

I said congrats on the other board, but I'll say it here too! Congrats

I wanted to add that for me while charting can be stressful at times, at least you know that you're O'ing and when or not O'ing etc. Plus I'm irregular so we could miss our opportunity every month. There may be a time when I take a month off and not worry about just to see if it happens for us then like it has other couples, but I think I'd always wonder!
