Hi kits :hi:. Sorry about your loss last cycle. FX for June 9th!
 
So can someone please explain to me how temping works? When do you start temping and charting?
 
Hey everyone hope there is room for a newbie.. We are currently have been trying for 2 years now.. Hoping sometime soon is our time!! I am due to get AF on June 15TH I will probably not text until the 15th because I am tired of spending so much money on tests and getting disappointments =) I would love to be added to the testing list... :flower:
 
Welcome Tryin!

Smiley - So I just started temping, but here's what I've got so far. Every morning at the same time, before you even get out of bed you take your temp. "Ideally" it should stay around the same (low) temp before you ovulate, dip on the day you ovulate, and then jump up to a new (high) temp and stay there. If you're on your way to a bfp, your temp will stay high. If AF is on the way, the temp will dip. So all in all it lets you figure out what time of the month you O and when/if it's a good time to take an hpt :)

Can I take a moment for a DH vent? After dinner he washes the dishes, but only the dishes that are directly in front of him. So he doesn't check the table or the stove and just leaves everything else. I can't really complain because he is doing dishes, but it drives me crazy when I have to go back and wash everything that was still on the table or the stove. Okay vent done :)
 
My husband and I also had a huge fight about the dishes today, and since we're venting lol. My whacked out hormones are mostly to blame. I definitely over-reacted and just started screaming at the guy. But he was being very annoying. I wanted to make chicken salad for dinner and asked him to make the dressing while I took care of the salad. I said, "can I count on you to make it?" and he answered "I doubt it" :growlmad:. And I got upset and said I'm so friggin tired and I just can't do everything on my own.

In the meantime I was doing the dishes. He starts going on and on about how he always does the dishes and nobody asked me to do them. My family came over yesterday (16 people that were fed!) and even though most of the dishes got done yesterday, the sticky pans were left and they were giving me trouble. He comes over and starts criticizing the way I'm doing it. Like you can't let the grease go down the drain you're going to clog the drain, why haven't you rinsed these yet? blah blah blah. He was purposely trying to annoy me because I said that I couldn't do everything and he was offended that I would say that because he always helps out.

Anyway, I went off in a huff upstairs so mad haha. We got over it. Our fights never last. This is the first time I've yelled at him in like a year though :shock:.
 
I might feel better if i tell him off, but he would probably stop doing them all together. Sometimes, if I'm feeling snarky, i wait till he's almost done and start bringing over pots and pans and stack them on the counter next to him. :)
 
LOL I would totally do that. But superman definitely does a better job than me when he cleans the kitchen so I definitely can't complain about that.
 
I wish my hubby would do dishes!! Although, I've been complaining about being super tired, and I have so much work to do, so he actually emptied and re-loaded the dishwasher for me (to him that's "washing") but there are still a ton of pans to actually get scrubbed. Irritated that he thinks he should be praised when it isn't all done, to me cleaning the kitchen means you do ALL OF IT! But, I guess it saves me 10 minutes so I'll take whatever I can get and not complain to him out of fear he'll never do it again. C-me and DH are the same, our fights are rare and short, but once in a while it sure seems like he knows exactly what to do to irritate me to the point of explosion!
 
lol sounds like a few of us are having dish-washing issues. My dad and brothers never help my mom or sisters-in-law. They feel like because they're the breadwinners that makes them exempt. That would drive me crazy. But maybe I'm spoiled.
 
Welcome to all the newbies!

Speaking of dishes - kitchen work is tge one thing DH does do. He does daily dishes and once a week does a complete clean up. Every 2 weeks, he does the floors. Now I just have to work on getting him to clean the cat box - my evil secret reason for wanting to be preg. :rofl:

We spent the entire day doing yard work. Normally we'll have a disagreement or two when it comes to that, but nada today. Tomorrow is RE appointment... I think. They never called to confirm so I'm gonna call first thing in the morning. Possibly a beta test.
 
These opks are taking a while to darken, hopefully tomorrow or the next. Then O will be done and can start tww. Lol, I will just tell hubby we need to dtd multiple times. :P
 
My husband is useless. I have been working hard to keep on top of the housework and he promised to wash up. Come in and pots hadnt been done. grrr

My DH does the same thing. I think it's just a male thing! He also never thinks to wipe the surfaces clean. It drives me crazy. It's good when he washes up, but I ALWAYS have to go back and finish off. Surely if you're gonna do a job, do it right.

Ok, vent over!
