Do you do this when you know you're not PG?

BBN2012

Not that I go overboard, but the last several months when I know I'm not PG, I feel I need to do everything you shouldn't do when you are KU. I drink more coffee, beer, wine, color my hair, get the nails done, etc. I keep telling myself that these aren't such great ideas for a PG lady, so while I know I'm not, may as well live it up a little. What do you do that you might not if you (or should I say WHEN?) get KU?

Hot tub, the only reason we did this month is because we were on a forced break.

I still drink some, but not during the important times

Lol! Not that I "celebrate" not being PG but the first night after AF shows up I always end up with a glass of wine in hand! I know I should probably still refrain but sometimes I think its much deserved and a healthy way to deal with the stress of a BFN!

I also overload on the coffee in the AMs, I'm a coffee-holic I drink a thermos full every morning, as I get closer and post ovulation I try to cut down, but after the BFN I go right back to my coffee-loving ways! You are not alone...

Ha!  D) All of the above -- I'm right there with you!

I'm right there with you.  Not that I'm celebrating not being pregnant, but when the occasion arises, for instance when I'm craving sushi...I think to myself that I should enjoy it now because hopefully I won't be able to soon. 

I guess it makes life a little more liveable when you can treat yourself to certain things.

Yeah I do the same thing too. AF like literally showed up and I'm all ready planning my drinking for tonight . Other than that not too much else. I will be more likely to take pain meds that are not appropriate for pg ladies when I know I'm not pregnant.

oh and last month I donated blood cuz I knew I wasn't pg. I was tired of not being able to donate blood cuz I could at any time be pregnant, So I said screw it, I know I'm not pregnant, I wanna donate my blood, and it was time number 20

I do the same thing. This weekend is going to be my "last hurrah" of sorts. I start Metformin probably Monday. So this weekend I'm going to fully enjoy a drink or two...or maybe more.

I definitely do this! I have a nice glass of wine, go on a rigorous mountain bike ride, and eat lots of sushi

As soon as AF shows up, I go straight for the triple lattes, salmon sashimi, and red wine. In fact, the only good thing about today's BFN is that I'll be able to drink at my friends' wedding next weekend (not that I wouldn't have happily stuck with cranberry juice and seltzer if I needed to).

I say enjoy these things while you can, because there will come a time (hopefully soon!) when we'll need to gladly give them up.

The second AF shows, I indulge in cocktails.  My BFN yesterday actually came at a perfect time because I'm heading out tomorrow on a trip with a group of friends for a few days so I can drink guilt free.  When I get back, I will start the next cycle.  I'm also a big skier so if I continue to get BFNs this winter, at least I'll be able to ski.  Why not enjoy the things you can't do when you're pregnant?  It's the only plus side to not being KU.

Use the elliptical machine instead of the treadmill, and drink alcohol.  This might be TMI, but DH and I belong to a Shibari/kinbaku group, and I won't do anything after trigger.  It's nice to go to our group and not have to make some lame excuse or avoid going altogether.

Oh sure.... Bring on the booze and the alcohol!! :-)

Ok, I had to Google that. Wow! That's pretty hard core and awesome! WTG you!!!!

AFM - I don't do a thing differently. Honestly, I stopped drinking around 27 and my whole life is ready for babies and parenting. I think I started adjusting my lifestyle when DH and were getting ready to try, and it's been long enough now that it's just our lfiestyle.

Hmmmm... although.... I do like to sleep. A lot. And I know babies will change that!

haha, thanks.  Although, some of the sites that come up when you google are a bit more *hardcore* than our group is!  lol.

Every month after a BFN (or now, right before we start IVF), DH makes a reservation for us at our favorite sushi bar.  I will miss sushi, so I always try to get one last trip in

I find out next week if my 1st IUI worked, if it didn't I have every intention of dying my roots and having a nice tall glass of liquid avoidance (Jeremiah Sweet Tea Vodka).  I think its important to have those little things, because this journey is soooo hard.

I drink way too much coffee, and I love sparkling wine.

However, I don't have an excuse for drinking them. Haha! Perhaps now I will! 

I seriously need to back off the coffee, but it's just too good!

WifeofMrA

I always do...usually lay into the wine!!

I took a test on tues and it was negative..and have my beta tomorrow since I haven't gotten AF. I toasted the negative with a glass of wine at 4 in the afternoon.
