Someone asked me if it was frustrating to chart, and keep track of stuff and have to wake up at the same time every morning to temp chart, and check fluids and etc etc....
And I thought about it, and this was my feelings once I did a little soul searching.
it depends on your personality.
for me, I'm ecstatic to be charting, because I actually ovulated!!! to me, to SEE ovulation confirmed when my issue is ovulation, gives me hope, not frustration. It's a chance, a real chance I can conceive this month. and if i ovulate next month, i'll feel that way too.
the only thing frustrates me, is to see months go by with no ovulation and knowing that I need medical intervention and have to ask for help....
this is my first medicated cycle out of 10 months of TTC baby #3. so if you want to talk frustration... failing to ovulate is frustrating. LOL and before this, I spent 5 years of infertility treatment failing to ovulate, and not even being able to have a chance to TEST for a BFP... that was far more frustrating for me than the excitement fo being able to test even fi its a negative.
attitude matters. If you know you O on what day, you know you can start testing on X day. so, your period comes and you can start over. It's not a guarantee that you'll get pregnant, but every piece of information you have may make you more likely/successful to get pregnant.
a lot of women who complain about not getting pregnant also time sex wrong even though they chart. or don't have enough sex on a regular enough basis to catch the egg, a lot of people believe having sex on the day of ovulation is good enough (by the time the sperm get up there, there's a good chance the egg is gone if you wait until you actually O to have sex.)
Taking control of your fertility and understanding how your body works to ME is a beautiful thing because if you want to get pregnant, it gives you an advantage in a lot of ways, including knowing your body and cycle enough to know when/if there's a problem
