Trying to Get Pregnant
Positives to not getting pregnant??
So each month I find out I'm not pregnant, I make my self try to feel better by coming up with a reason why its "a good thing". This month I'm telling myself that if I get pregnant next month, I can be off for the holidays. Truth be told, I don't care if I had to work the holidays, if only I had a LO.
Anyone else ever done this to help you deal? If so, what do you tell yourself?

Re: Positives to not getting pregnant??
I have another month to try to lose some weight?
I'd rather be pregnant.
That's a good idea. One positive...you don't gain weight!
Yup. Each month we don't get pregnant is one month that we won't need to pay for full time day care.
DH is in grad school, and when he is done in Fall 2011 we'll be moving elsewhere. We decided that if we have kids at that point, I will take some time off of work to raise them. If we have kids well before then, he/she will have to spend some time in day care until we move.

Yep, this cycle is:I'm going to Mexico on the 29th and I want to be able to get drunk with my family there! haha
LMAO!!! Not much of a shopper, Dodge? This took me a second to process.
Beautiful pictures! They are a bit on the large size....
ETA: I swear I quoted it... i think it's tara..
ETA Again..nope it's Raffaella
I usually try to focus on something positive as well, of course we all know how well that works. Mari-this is a great idea! I think I'll try it if I have to this month....
Wine. Coffee. Being able to slip into my skinny jeans.
At this point (into October), DD will be in "school" 3 days a weeks (9 hrs total), giving me more time to focus on baby #2.
Drawback, cold and flu season.
ETA: I still get to drink!

oh, yeah. this month it's i won't be too pregnant to fly to a surprise party in denver memorial day weekend. last month it was good b/c i wouldn't have been due on my 1 year old nephew's birthday. or i tell myself, there's a reason i just don't know
I do this. Sleeping in especially. DH loves to sleep in.
Also, one more month I get to take ice skating lessons
Lets see...sleeping in, being able to leave the house without taking the entire house with you, another month to continue to try to get to my goal weight, more sex next month!
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
Haha, this : ) It's true, every time I'm sitting with DH on a Friday night enjoying a bottle of wine and pizza, I think, "This is wonderful." I also think about how much I love to get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Next month I'm meeting my sister, her family, and my dad in DisneyWorld, and I love big rides! Not going to be as much fun if I'm PG. I also have horses, and setting goals for shows and events helps. I'm not going to be able to do as much when I'm PG, definitely won't be able to jump, so I'm trying to maximize my time in the saddle. Not that I wouldn't give all of that up for a BFP, but it does help!
