You Know You're TTC When....

[Deleted User]

When you're trying to think of who you can regift your bfp reveal coffee mugs to this Christmas, cos they are just taking up space in the attic at this point, and now the idea you thought was cute a year ago seems totally silly and irrelevant.... <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/dy/nhsl4vb00bz9.gif" alt="" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/dy/nhsl4vb00bz9.gif">
No?  just me??

@businesswife oh yes, I roll my eyes at least weekly at the gift box in the top of my closet with a onesie in it I bought back in March (maybe earlier?!)

I bought a onesie in February also.  I never even took it out of the amazon box.  It's sitting in my closet.  Sigh.

hartmich

@businesswife I plan on regifting the onesie I bought. Glad I'm not the only one.

- When you have scotch tape in your bathroom vanity drawer for the purpose of taping OPKs onto something so that you can track the progression. 
-When the idea of having 1-2 day old gross pee sticks in your vanity drawer doesn't gross you out.


@hartmich @BusinessWife @Saralee797 @juliebeannn Yup. I have the onesie I bought buried in one of my drawers. I'd forgotten about it, but of course I just happened to be putting clothes away on CD1 and found it.

When every time you crack an egg, all you can think about is cervical mucus...

@TravelingCouple Well, if I didn't before, I definitely will now!

ChefRamsay

You spend more time on TB than you do your job.

juliebeannn

This one's bump specific....
You know you've been participating on TB a while when you see a GTKY question come up for the fourth time.

When you start thinking of the line that forms when you leave your coffee cup sit as an, "evap line."

Because you already tried giving up coffee, till you realized it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference! lol

When you sometimes think of your ute as "schrödinger's cat" phenomenon... thinking that you're pregnant and not at the same time in the TWW, but end up defaulting to "not"...

I think about that all the time!!  I am simultaneously pregnant and not pregnant right now.... Schodinger's uterus.   

stephann85

When you are mad at DH but you know it is your fw and need to HIO. So you pretend you're not mad just so you don't screw up the timing. 

adirat

Your BSC is so extreme that even though you literally just finished a heavy period, and your temp is low, you have this secret hope that your MRI will discover you are somehow miraculously pregnant...

 

purplg8r

When you DTD before the Xmas party so H can drink and afterwards you lay with your legs in the air & catch up on bump posts while H wraps the gifts

jess0211

@stephann85 totally did that last month!

[Deleted User]

One month, even though you knew it was pointless to lay there with your legs in the air you did it anyway and ended up falling asleep and not peeing until the morning.  That month you got a UTI and a negative pregnancy test.

@antoto uggghh. That sucks!!!

LOL I did that when I started getting super desperate a few months ago.  Never again.  Never again.  ALWAYS PEE IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEX, LADIES!

RedBreast35

Ugh. When you sacrifice sleeping in and get up at 5:30 on a Sunday because you really want that 1dpo temp jump to be a legit closed circle 
So jealous of those of you who can go back to sleep after your temping alarms go off!

[Deleted User]

@RedBreast35 lol aww, I am right there with you!  not temping this morning, but it's my one day to sleep in and I still woke up before my nirmal weekday alarm, since I'm always the first one up to get the coffee going, and now I'm wide awake :p

WillRunForWine21

@RedBreast35 I was in the exact same position yesterday. it's the worst. I feel for you!

swimsister

While temping you think "yesterday was a little bit of a dip so today's temp should be about even with 2 days ago and tomorrow will be your temp spike"... and you're totally right about today's temp. 

ChefRamsay

You get excited about feeling nauseous. And even more excited if you actually puke...

swimsister

@ChefRamsay I am pretty sure I can will myself to get nauseous during the TWW just by thinking about it. 

BigBadWolf12

@redbreast35 I picked 4:30am as my temp time so that I can't go back to sleep weekend or weekday :P I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep at 5:30 or 6 though. And I didn't want to risk H waking up before me because he has a habit of snuggling, which would throw off temps from his furnace like body heat and the unpredictability of when he wakes up.

KristoKekerooni

@Buthayna - Oh, SAME. I temp at 4 am because H gets up at about 5 to get ready for work, but often wakes before his alarm (he's a morning person, ewwee) and when he wakes early he snuggles. and he's super hot (in all ways. ) 

flinstone-2

You lay awake at night on purpose so you can pee once again before falling asleep, in hopes that you will not have to get up and mess up your temp/take it earlier than your set time.

rainbowturtles

When you tell your SO "I need your genitals" when he asks why you need him home on certain days

I've totally done this!!! 

lulu1180

You set an alarm earlier than normal on a weekday for HIO so that you can get good timing

haylsbayls-2

When you wish you had taken a pic of your nipples so you could see if they're darker or not

Yes!!!!!  I almost took a picture once just so I could compare later because DH was no help when I asked him!

Bahaha!  I haven't actually done this one, but this just made me LOL!

JuneRoseRuby

@haylsbayls I have thought of this too, I just couldn't because I was worried someone would see it on my phone, and then the damn cloud....

Mine didn't get darker until 30weeks dpo so you'll probably get a BFP before your nips darken lol

haylsbayls-2

@JuneRoseRuby  Exactly why I haven't done it yet! But every month I'm like, damnit, I should just do a close up so you can't exactly tell what it is.

JuneRoseRuby

@haylsbayls  I thought of that too but I felt like I would need the outer skin to compare color

And at this point, you've done it so many times, it's NBD...
