Charting - It is Old Fashioned! Grandma Advice

In a newbie post there was a comment that charting is old fashioned and it reminded me of a REALLY awkward conversation I had with my grandma.  At the time I was probably 16 and she was probably like 85. 

It was something like this... out of complete nowhere...

Grandma : Do you know what rythm is?

Me:  Uhhh.....

Grandma: Sex....Im talking about sex....... thats how you have babies...

Yeah, I was introduced to charting quite awhile ago - LOL. 

Anyone else have awesome grandma advice on having sex or babies?

Worst post ever is kind of harsh, it could always be worse - but your post does make absolutely no sense. Rhythm isn't how you get pregnant, for starters.




TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycle #11 is a break cycle. Cycle #12 is a break cycle. (The break so nice, she did it twice!)

Not the worst post :P

My paternal grandma says all kinds of crazy sh*t, she is hysterical. I can't think of anything particularly sex/baby-related but she did call someone a CUNextTuesday last week. She's 76.

No I know that - but apparently my grandma thought she was educating me.

My grandmother and I had a talk about sexting on Friday. She said she didn't understand it because "I'm married. Even after 40 years, all I gotta do is get nekkid. If just getting nekkid isn't working, he's just not interested hunney."

I spelled phonetically for the most part. She's a tiny little southern woman. Lol

I have an awkward grandma/sex story.  When my grandma was alive, I used to take her for walks in the park near her apartment.  One afternonn we passed a bridal party getting pictures.  My grandma was hard of hearing so she spoke very loudly.  She commented to me about how nice the bride's dress was.  (they could hear.. but that was okay).  Then proceeded to tell me that her(my grandma's) wedding dress shouldn't have been white b/c her and grandpa got it on several times before getting mairred.  Everyone heard!  I wanted to die.  Embarrassed

my grandma says awkward things all the time.  She constantly reminds me that I should "have a baby already".  (She does not know we're actively TTC and has been at me to have a baby for about 3 years).  She told me the other day that after two months of marriage she "thought she was barren and would NEVER have a baby!" - clearly she doesn't know much about the process.

 But she old, has dementia and says much more offensive things generally, so I just smile and let her ramble on.
