here's my resolution:
I, s.alarie, hereby resolve to stop living in the "if I get KU'd this cycle" mentality. I have finally figured it out. It's been dragging me down, and it's gotta go. I am constantly making plans for IFs and possibilities, but I need to just make plans for today and deal with it if I have to change plans.
No more: "If I'm KU'd this cycle, we won't be able to go on vacation next summer," "this might be my last night to eat/drink **insert pregnancy no-no food/drink item here** if I get pregnant," and my favorite excuse, "why should I diet? I might be pregnant soon and I'll just gain all the weight back."
As of this morning, I'm getting back on track with healthy living, which now includes eating right, exercising, and a healthy attitude.
Thanks for reading my rambling. If you got through, here's a carrot. Ha.

Good for you! It is such an easy cycle to fall in to. I blame FF and their "If you conceive this cycle your EDD is _______"
Good luck!!

Thanks for your support, ladies. It's not going to be easy especially with FF obsessions, EDD calculations (I have a pregnancy wheel app on my phone; it's not just FF, I do it to myself!!), and the natural what-ifs.
I'm 7+ months from my m/c, and I just can't stand to see the world keep spinning around me while I'm still stuck on would be/could be/should be. I gave myself a hard reality check--it's not, so move on. (In saying this, I am in no way trying to reality check anyone else. I was ready for it, and needed it. Please don't be offended!! You will be ready some day too.)
