Thanks ladies [emoji173]️ thinking pink
Speaking of Martha - My house is driving me craaaazy its gotten so messy. If I clean it all and get it nice and pretty I know I'll probably be more at rest but sitting in it (especially my bedroom) is giving me anxiety. It's like I've gotten way TOO good at letting "it go", but is it More Martha to care and do all the cleaning and get things "in order" (reminds me much of the story Martha comes from).

Sitting around worrying about if it's Martha to clean or not to clean IS MARTHA.

That is precisely what I do not want you guys to do.

Live your lives. Do what you normally do. Do NOT sit around in a messy house debating the pros and cons of housework. Clean the house. Tons of "Mary" types have clean houses. No one is saying girl moms are slobs. They just do what they do and live their lives without all this inner angst that we Marthas seem to naturally bring to every circumstance.

Mary and Martha are JUST A STORY. A story that is supposed to illustrate a bigger point. Look at Sloane and Jeannie. NO one was cleaning anything in that story. It was an illustration of the difference between a person who tries to control every aspect of every THING vs. someone who doesn't. That is what you're supposed to take away from those stories.

Sitting around thinking about whether you should clean your house or not is no different than Jeannie getting totally unhinged over Ferris skipping school. It is the exact same thing. Trying to control the situation to an insane extent to yield an outcome one finds desirable. Just do what you do.

I honestly wonder if it is even possible to understand until you've walked on both sides of the line. I know someone could have tried to explain it to me before, and I would not have gotten it, and even if I had I would have been powerless to change anything.

Please just do what you normally do in terms of housework and living your day to day life.

I totally am a Martha lol bc im happy as a lark when everything is in its place, but dang if it all gets out of order by George im a mess. (Ocd? Maybe) backing up a recent response that im very blue in my ways; but have made some awesome changes (swaying or not) to let go of stuff. It's just the house was an example of how far I let it slide lol

How are you getting on HMBOMT? Have you had any side effects on the clomid at all? Are you officially in the 2ww?

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Thank yk for asking Inmi!
Actually AF just started last night. I was so confused. Still am. I ended my round of Clomid on cd 53 and got cross hairs on FF that same day. So it couldn't be the Clomid working so quickly - but if FF is right them
I literally had like a 5.5 day luteal phase.
The more hopeful explanation is that I did ovulated just before taking the C, (since I got tired of waiting for AF, and decides to jump start it).
What I don't know is whether I should go ahead with the Clomid on cd 3 or 5 despite JUST finishing it a week ago?

That's a hard one.... I'm not sure at all. Hopefully a few other past Clomid ladies can help you out or Atomic perhaps. I will be following and cheering you on
