S/O - giving up stuff - what do you miss?

10-4LilBuddy · January 2012

Speaking of giving up stuff, what do you truly miss and can't wait to get back? We've all been at this for a while and I was thinking about what I miss the other day.

Hope everyone has a happy Monday and a great week!

I really miss my Revitalash. I have stubby, straight eyelashes naturally. When I use Revitalash, my lashes are curly, long, and thick. People would ask me if they were fake. Sigh ... Silly vanity...

I thought I'd miss my migraine blockers more but it turns out that I forgot that the side effects from that meds were significant (like food tasting bitter and numb fingers) and I'm better off without them.

I miss everything! I hate that I have to agonize over every single thing I eat and do. TTC has taken the joy out of so many things that I enjoy - alcohol, exercise, caffeine, and sex, to name a few. I really want to get up in the morning, drink 2 cups of coffee, go for a long run, eat bread and pasta, and enjoy a glass of wine without wondering if these things are causing or affecting my IF. Oh, and I want to have purposeless sex!

In a really warped way, I am envious of my friend who has moved on to adoption because at least she gets her body back! Truly not making light of this, because I cried with her often and I saw the agony they experienced, but I know that being able to eat, drink and exercise freely was a real silver lining for her.

I miss being able to run like I used to. I am a long distance runner (was doing 8-10 miles on Saturday mornings), but I've cut my running way back since I've heard it can affect my hormone levels to exercise that much (I have a feeling my RE will tell me to cut back anyway). I wanted to train for a half marathon last fall but silly me thought I'd be pregnant again by then so I didn't sign up for a race.

Not drinking during the 2ww (my own choice). I gave up coffee (and switched to decaf green tea). And I miss not having to put my life on hold (planning vacations, trips, etc.).

Allergy pills, more than anything else. I miss popping a Zyrtec D and getting on with my day without being stuffy and snotty and avoiding the sinus headaches I inevitably get. I also miss Dr. Pepper, but I figure it is easier to give up caffeine now than to stress out about whether it's going to affect the pregnancy (if and when that actually happens).

Coffee, no question.

I have a home-based business, and my coffee intake during the day was pretty huge. We have a Keurig (totally my enabler), and I'd have 4-5 10-oz cups, daily.

It took awhile, but gradually weaned myself down to one 6-oz per day, and wow, do I cherish that one teeny little cup.

That's astoundingly impressive. I feel like there should be medals for this.

Hardcore narcotics, swilling vodka and wild sex with strangers!

OK, I'm kidding. I just miss McDonalds

MelleTX,

Lol. That's just awesome.

I miss caffeine and the occasional glass of red wine at networking events. And I miss being able to lift and move things without DW hovering and offering to do it for me. :P

Side question: How does one make a signature?

Coffee was the first thing I went for in my necessary TTC break.

What I miss most now is exercise and sex. 2 long months.
