Fate? Coincidence? Bizarre Hope?

My H got a call this morning that his grandfather died during the night (he was 95 and in poor health, not sudden). I believe I O'd overnight, probably within hours of his grandfathers death.
We were talking this morning about the cycle of life and are bizarrely optimistic for this cycle now.
We're not religious people but feel this is a positive sign. Think we are totally reaching here?

Re: Fate? Coincidence? Bizarre Hope?
Maybe...but my grandmother died in January during the time I ovulated and I am still here... So I'm not sure. Sorry about your loss.
By the way... I thought the exact same thing when she passed, so your hope I feel is valid.
No, I think it is human nature to think that way. Last cycle, I got my hopes up extra high because my due date would have been the exact day that I miscarried in October.
My friend got her hopes up extra high the cycle before her BFP because her due date would have been her anniversary.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and hope extra for you that this will be your BFP cycle.

DH's uncle passed yesterday during the night, and while I did ponder the cycle of life, I don't feel any particular lucky vibe from it with regards to getting PG. I do think it would help cheer up the immediate family to report another baby on the way soon...
ETA: wanted to say that I'm sorry that you're also going through a difficult family time and that you DO get PG this cycle...

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, JBM. I would probably think the same thing if I were in your situation.
FX for you!
First of all, I'm so sorry your grandfather passed, even if he was in poor health.
I'm spiritual, not religious...but what you just said, if it were me, I would take it as a positive sign. If you feel it intuitively, don't let reason try to talk you out of it. Good luck!
I agree with this! Of course you know I am rooting for you, jbm! That said, I am really sorry for your loss.

** After 2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of Mini IVF! **
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Six weeks after my grandmother passed away, I found out I was pregnant with DD. The day I found out would have been my grandmother's 75th birthday. My grandmother's death was very sudden and unexpected, so there was a lot of grief and sadness in my family. I felt that my BFP was a gift from my grandmother, and really comforted my family (especially my mother). Hoping the same thing happens for you!!!
