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.
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

Drink...drink ..watch too many tv shows..and go out!! Being lazy on the couch is another one! Actually my friends are worried I will go on a "not being able to go out" withdrawal.

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. :-<

Me: 41, DH: 45 DD, 6/15/2013 TTC #2 beginning January 2014 AMH 1.05; FSH range 7-11
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!)
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!

He settles her in her home as a happy mother of children, praise the Lord! (Psalms 113:9)
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understand, will guard your heart and mind in Jesus Christ (Philippians 4:7)
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)
