Q: the Reactions of Others

asked by: Jude-Love on July 8th, 2007

Ever since other people, online and in real life, have found out that I'm charting they act like there is something wrong with me. I've gotten a lot of different comments that I just think are wildly ridiculous.

1. It will make you not get pregnant.
2. You're obsessed.
3. It's bizarre.
4. It's too much work.
5. It ruins your sex life (Ha...not true).
6. You're putting pressure on yourself.

None of these are true and what's sad is I could come up with more! It's so condescending, imo. If you've been treated this way, how did you react?

Don't listen to them. I charted and I am going to have a beautiful baby boy next month. It helps you get in tune with your body.

I honestly haven't told many people that I have started charting, so i haven't had any negative feedback.

Musikmaker is right...Just ignore them. They don't have anything to do with your body so don't worry about what they say.

WELL BELIEVE ME I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF COMMENTS
1. UR TO YOUNG
2. WHY NOT WAIT TILL U PAY OFF UR CAR
AND THE SAME 1S THAT U WROTE. I JUST THINK THAT KEEPING IT TO UR SELF IS BETTER THAN LISTENING TO THAT. SOMETIMES U LISTEN TO THAT FROM THE PEOPLE U LOVE AND HURTS TO KNOW THAT I CANT TALK TO THEM ABOUT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT. ANEWAY I JUST TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT ITS MY LIFE AND IF I AM READY THEN I AM GOING TO DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO BETTER MY CHANCES IN MAKING MY DREAM OF BECOMING A MOMMY FOR THE 1ST TIME COME TRUE.
I AM JUST SORRY THAT WE HAVE TO GO THRU THIS. Sad

I wish I had kept it all a secret between Raymond and I, but I was kind of left with no choice. After I had surgery, my OB basically announced to my family in the waiting room that I would need to make a decision about my fertility and child-bearing. Only after he was asked, of course, but it just put it all out on the table for me.
