You Know You're TTC When....

lulu1180

I thought this would be a fun game where you name the (gross) things that only those that are TTC know/do/understand

lulu1180

You inspect the toilet paper closely to make sure you're not missing out on any fertile CM....and sometimes pick it off the TP to check if it's EW

swimsister

You desperately want to post pictures of OPKs online to see if the internet strangers think they are positive or not. (But you don't because you peed on that and you're a good person)

You don't know what day of the week it is but you sure as hell know what CD it is.

jess0211

You experience withdrawal symptoms if you haven't POAS in a few days. 

adirat

You peed in all the leftover plastic cups from your wedding.

Pinky917

You yell at DH for keeping you out longer than expected while trying to get a long enough hold to take an opk when you get home. 

ChefRamsay

You wake up at 5AM, even if you don't have to work that day, just to stick a thermometer I'm your vagina. 

kyersten

Your DH starts confidently using TTC acronyms in person and over text 

JuneRoseRuby

you squash the hell out of your boobs and nipples to see if they are sore/just how sore they are

I have definitely poked and prodded during the TWW to see if they were sore! 

jess0211

@JuneRoseRuby totally done that. 

dinosaur

You buy plastic/paper cups to pee in. 

adirat

Your significant other has asked you the question, "What has your temperature been up to?"

sparklepony

You ask your DH if he will be able to tell if your areolas start to darken

Behari

You can't stop torturing yourself by watching surprise pregnancy announcements on the youtubes.

Behari

Oh, oh, I just thought of a better one (for those on fertility treatments)!

When your husband giving you a shot in the butt is foreplay.

doula-mama

Love these! As I was reading through I was like... CM on toilet paper? Check. Prodding breasts/nipples? Check. Getting upset at DH when we were driving from Vegas to Napa and there wasn't a rest stop when I needed to POAS after a few hours? Check. 

lee^2

You start to think of DH as actually being called DH in real life. 

NYTino24

When no one else was here to realize there used to be a thread exactly like this that was pinned to the top, but very few people are still around from that time... I'm about to hit 7 months here and now people from the beginning of my time are giving birth! (And there are several others who have been around even longer than me!)

1. DH asks what is new on Facebook and I say I'm never on Facebook it's TB. 

2.  When DH no longer screws his face up at the mention of 'cervical mucous'. 

Edit for words.

Maybe I'm strange but, I don't actually do this. I use the same cup and just wash it out every time I pee in it. That way I don't have to constantly buy disposable cups. The cup I use is an old egg dyeing cup I had in my cupboard. 

stephann85

DH just assumes that you are bumping whenever you are on your phone (which he is usually right).

When you wake up at the same time everyday (545 am) without an alarm clock because your body knows it is time to temp.

I use a shot glass and wash it everytime lol

@NYTino24 I thought the same thing...'don't we have a sticky for this?'.  No laurad75...that was 6 months ago.

I actually found that post when looking back and that's what gave me the idea

ChefRamsay

@Becky012016 A shot glass? How do you not pee on yourself!? And I sure hope you don't put that glass back with your other drink wear....

ChefRamsay

Your Google search history is completely BSC and embarrassing. 

Baking soda finger?
Will this donut affect my fertility? 
Excessive blinking an early pregnancy sign? 

Becky012016

@cheframsay; lol no, it's a dedicated pee cup.

There have been several of them during my time here.  Pretty much every single thread that anyone posts has at one time been posted, in some iteration, within the past two years.  I've been on here so long that even many of the OGs I think of still as newbies.  

flashley-2

@ChefRamsay LOL ! Excessive blinking. Haha you crack me up ! 

AlohaKumu

When you have to force yourself to go back to sleep at 2AM (even though you want to pee now) because you want your urine concentration to be strong enough for a test in the morning!

This. I'm pretty sure I think everything is always a sign. And so I google it. And none of it has anything to do with pregnancy. Google probably thinks I'm an idiot.

When you HIO before fw just so you know dh's sperm are "fresh" for when it counts.

Oh man, I definitely do this. We always do CD7ish BD so they're "fresh" and just in case I ovulate crazy early. Basically the day AF hits the road... Yes I am neurotic. 

NYTino24

@lulu118 I'm still game! You know you're TTC when you don't plan on POAS until you're ready to surprise DH if you're KU, but the stuff you bought (which could just be for a future Christmas gift) hasn't arrived yet. Plus it's still too early to test even though a tiny percentage of people you don't know on FF once happened to get a BFP on 8dpo. #HoldTheBSC

daisymae6215

@JuneRoseRuby or you say that your boobs might be sore so DH grabs them and asks oh does that hurt? how about that? At least I'm not alone in the SS.

OMG YES! I was under the weather before our first IUI so I made DH take care of himself so his IUI sample would be fresh!!! 

WillRunForWine21

When you're changing underwear in your work bathroom because am BD took a little longer than planned and laying still trumped shower

I thought this too. And then I was like, Have I really been around long enough that a thread came, went, and came back again? Yes, yes I have. I pretty much only lurk these days, but I joined June 2015. Yikes.
