I woke up no less than 4 times freaked out that I would oversleep my alarm and not remember to temp. Oops.
A cycle or two ago I was literally sleep temping...half waking up all night and taking my temp and going back to sleep three or four times a night. I felt like a crazy person (luckily it seems to have stopped).
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
This past week after I went through the drive-thru for my coffee I stopped at the trashcan and went to throw out my old coffe cup. Instead I threw out my new one.

Along the lines of temping, I look at my chart several times a day no matter where I am in my cycle. It's like I think it's going to tell me hey you are going to O tomorrow or hey you are totes KTFU! I know it won't tell me anything but I still always look at it.

It's really not that serious. I get slightly bummed when people get SO stressed about temping/OPKs/timing, etc.
I understand the goal here is to get pregnant but I feel like some people here become consumed by all things TTC & it makes me sad.
*this is not directed at YOU personally, your post just made me think of it.
Totally understand that. If I get to the point that I take it too seriously, I just won't temp anymore, which is why I have avoided it to this point. I'm in agreement that it can be all-consuming.
I think this case was more of my normal reaction to having to get up earlier than I usually do. I wake up too many times thinking I will oversleep...because usually I do.

Confession, then? I oversleep 90% of the time.
I oversleep every single day. My alarm is set for 4:55am. I hit snooze until 5:25am then run around like a mad woman to make it out the door before 6am. Im also late for everything. EVERYTHING.

DH just messaged me asking if I'd want to see a third soccer game while we're on vacation. I like soccer too but I'm not sure I want to see more than two soccer games. But I'll probably say yes since it's the only thing he's asked for on vacation. Sigh.

But three?! How long is your vacation?
FFFC: I'm a bad wife, and I'd say no.
I was thinking that too! Two is being a REALLY nice wife. Three is too many - if you're not into soccer.

We'll be on vacation for about 15 days. I like soccer games but we're going to Europe which has so many cool things to see and ZOMG give me all the history!!!! I can't decide if I really want to sit in a soccer stadium while there's a castle/grave yard/church/etc. nearby. The soccer games (and visiting family) really are the only things he's asked for so I'd feel bad if I said no.

I would agree to one, but that's it. And I wouldn't feel guilty about it. I'm a selfish asshole, and I'm okay with that. DNW to sit through something I don't enjoy more than once.

I told him to figure out how it would work into the schedule and then make his case for adding it to the schedule. We'll see if he's that motivated. I don't think he will be, LOL.

"Husband, we've seen two games & I'm done with soccer. We're doing something else today."

DNW a vacation that requires a schedule. Nope.
I don't mind a general idea on what's going on day to day, but THREE soccer matches? Just the planning and scheduling to be able to accommodate these games... Everything will have to revolve around them.
I haven't temped at all this cycle since I'm TTA and need a break.
I literally want nothing to do with sex right now, but have no problem getting myself off if I really need to.
I've also been cleaning all week partially due to boredom and the fact my house was a disaster, but mostly to let myself feel like I have some sort of control over my life again.
