There are so many things we cant do while TTC/ OR while being preg.
The one that is killing me the most...is Not being able to go tanning.
1. can I still tan.... or is this very bad while ttc? (tannning beds)
2. whats something that YOU really miss while ttc?

Re: what do you miss?
I WILL miss coffee *sob*
Real, caffeinated coffee. I haven't given up much while TTC, except trying to eat better--less sugar and such--and limit myself only to one small glass of wine if I drink at all.
Aaaaand, I'm sure you know this...tanning is really bad ANY time. That's my PSA for the day.
Update--I was reading the question too fast, I thought it was, "What WILL I miss after ttc?" Sorry.

there's not much you can't do while TTC. I don't really get this.
Of course you can still tan if you are into that. I personally gave it up many many years ago for the health of my skin

1. https://tinyurl.com/cvubzz and tanning beds are bad for you in general. Use the lotions if you want to look tan, they're much better for you and you'll be happier you did when you're older.
2. I don't miss anything while I'm TTC 'cause I haven't changed anything...when I'm pregnant I miss caffeine.
Tanning beds are ALWAYS bad.
I miss wine.

Sushi
Good, old fashioned tuna sushi...
And tanning isn't good, period.. IMHO
This
I haven't given up anything. Except BCP, obviously. I guess I wasn't doing anything before TTC that I felt would affect TTC. I never drank much, I don't lunch meats and rarely have sushi (although I love it when I do eat it). I don't tan because I don't want skin cancer. Tanning is bad anytime you do it. Just sayin'.
But even if I had been doing those things before we started I wouldn't have changed it until I was KU. There really isn't much that you can't do when you're TTC, as PP already stated.
The only thing that has changed for me now that we're TTC is that I take prenatal vitamins. Oh, and stress myself out temping and trying to figure out wtf is going on with my body.

I am not tanning now because I gave it up in order to be able to be a SAHM (including some other things) but I do really miss. I know, I know. It can cause cancer. But so can sunscreen (and I know there are smokers on here who won't admit it) and a million other things. To me its relaxing and it was 15 minutes a day where no one could yell at me through the bathroom door or ask me 500 questions or expect anything from me. There are proven theraputic effects. Plus I like the way I look and self tanners are a pain and way more expensive and time consuming. I would NOT tan while KU because of the heat factor, but I would tan while TTC if I were working.
That being said, I am not giving up anything but alcohol while pregnant. Although if I happen to be pregnant when MH finishes school I will probably *gasp* have a sip of champagne to toast him.
ditto with the pp...tanning beds are bad news! I care about my face and skin too much to expose it to that type of damage. I cringe when I see people on FB always mentioning their fake beach or electric tan...I slap on my Clinque City Blocl SPF 45 everyday!
I haven't given up anything. I eat pretty healthy. I've tried to maybe just curb the drinking a bit, but probably have 2-3 drinks a week. I have started PNV and I usually drink tea and switched it up to some green tea this month.
tanning, really? I didn't know people still did that, seriously. Ick. I don't want cancer.
I haven't given up a thing. I cut back on coffee and alcohol, but I figured that was good do to, TTC or not. If I see a few lbs off the scale while we are TTC, even better.

For all those who love to look tan- Mystic Tan aerosol is amazing! I bought my bottle off Amazon and it is the best I've found. Yes, it is more expensive, but I think it's worth it vs. looking that cheapy orange color that I've got with other spray tans.
I miss having clear skin! I haven't given anything up yet and don't plan to until I see that digi pregnant sign!
I miss clear skin & wine during the TWW. I am still trying to stop drinking Diet Coke....that seems to be the hardest thing for me.
1) Jacuzzi tub!!! It is starting to get really cold out and I just want a good, long soak
2) Glass of wine after a long day
3) Drinking a carmel latte... I still have my morning coffee but I can't justify having espresso
Try the gummy prenatals! I use "VitaFusion" brand from Target.
DH and I still go out for coffee once a week, but I miss being able to have coffee every day. Especially when I sit out on the deck and read in the afternoon. ...I was hanging out and chatting with my grandma today and I caught myself gazing longingly at her coffee.
I'm ok with everything else though. I'm not a drinker really, so cutting out alcohol was not an issue. And eating more fruits and veggies is yummy. But hot coffee with cream and sugar..... *sigh*
