TTC after 35

What do you do when you know you're not pregnant?

What are the things you indulge in or enjoy when you know it hasn't happened this cycle? You know, the things you will abstain from when the BFP does happen.

I enjoy a beer/glass of wine or dye my hair. I'm also contemplating another tattoo soon.

    I just drink a lot of wine, mimosas, and I have an afternoon chai tea with baileys. I'm on medicated cycles so I can't have alcohol but a few days out of the month and I take advantage of it.
    Fucking bump!!!!

    Stop beating myself up, look forward to the next cycle. My son is in several activities. It's never a dull moment. Every now and then a little wine will do

    I honestly don't do much differently while TTC (because I figure it might be a loooong haul, and because I start poas ASAP each month, so I can make necessary lifestyle adjustments immediately in case of a bfp) So, really, finding out I'm not is just an unmitigated bummer. :-<

    I would have a glass of wine, but I haven't confirmed ovulation or had a period for a while, so I don't feel comfortable with partaking. :-(

    Bought frye boots this month. Having drinks but nothing too much. Still keeping up my cod liver oil and raspberry leaf tea!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    I don't do much differently... I'm having a hard tim cutting back on the coffee during the 2WW and I don't consume much alcohol or sushi normally, anyway - though I've taken to having a nice big glass of wine on CD1 to help me wallow. 

    Then, I cope by throwing myself into planning our next CF vacation :) And entering every available travel sweepstakes. 

    Projects around the house are a great distraction!

    I do all the above, plus I will usually take my energy pills. I will push myself to workout a little harder when exercising. Try to relax after stressing out so much over if I am pregnant or not.

    This is a GREAT thread! Says the girl who just polished off a bottle of Moscato D'Asti with dinner! Yup, I indulge more in my favorite wine. REALLLY gonna miss that! But honestly, since I already don't smoke, there's very little else I limit while expecting anyway besides alcohol. (Shrugs)
