You're always checking what your due date may be if you get pregnant this cycle.
Then also checking to see if any holidays, birthdays, or special occasions fall around what would be your 12 week mark so you can make a cute announcement.
A) always asking DH "do my tata's look like they're bulging out of my bra" fondling my tata's to see if their "more sensitive" then they should be. C) constantly on a routine to "thicken my uterine wall" (like drinking green yea but only on CD1-13, eating pineapple core but only in certain days, not eating things because they effects the thickness of said uterine wall. And getting a total WTF face from DH when I bring up why I must or cannot eat,drink or be around certain things.

I know I fondle myself more the DH does. DPO10 rolls around and I can't keep my hands off my chest. "Does this hurt?" or "Do they look bigger yet?"
Also I find myself constantly stalking FF like it's a damn magic8 ball.

@emilie818 ! I was just going to say something along the lines of this! I may have stopped at the drugstore by work and purchased the Clearblue digi's so I could do my mid-day OPK!

Feeling like you hit the luxury jackpot when the nurse gives you a shot of lidocaine before placing the IV for your most recent procedure. ...heaven. It was like heaven.
Also, not even batting an eye when he looked at the veins in your arms and said "You get a lot of blood work, don't you?"
Instead of just the box of tampons sitting next to the toilet, there are stacks of OPKS, pregnancy tests, and my pee cup.
The snooze button is a distant but fond memory.
Analyzing toilet paper after wiping instead of just flushing it.
"if I get pregnant this month..." Trying to figure out where my maternity leave would fall and how I will have to rearrange my vacation time at work. Constantly adding everything to my ovulation app calendar so I can track it.
kfras - we are waiting to book next years vacation based on how I need to use my days.
When you over-analyze your bathroom situation at work because someday you'll have to pee every 30 min...
When you put off buying new clothes because you'd rather save for maternity clothes...or you buy new clothes that have room to grow a little (even though your freaking pants are 2 sizes too big).
When your DH knows to buy the DQ chicken strip basket on CD1 to get you to stop crying.
I also look at the due date each month based on LMP and try to come up with something that I will get to do since I won't be close to a due date (oh, not due in June, guess you can go to your cousin's wedding 3 hours away...not due in July, guess you can go to the horse track for opening weekend...)
You spend an uncomfortable amount of time in the work bathroom analyzing if your CM is more sticky or creamy. Or maybe it's watery. No, no. It's creamy.
yep, the boobs. DH is always like "why are you playing with yourself, stop squeezing your nipples!" and when you check due date calculators based on your estimated ovulation to see how far along you'll be each month of the summer
I am constantly holding in pee in the middle of the day or night. Night because I don't want to get out of bed to screw up tests, day because I have to wait to take an OPK.
Married to DH (aka the love of my life) since June 17th, 2006
You are sure your thermometer is either broken or you put it in your mouth wrong whenever you don't get the temp you want. You contemplate re-temping or disregarding the temp all-together so that you can keep your chart pretty. You finally say fuck it and add the weirdo temp.
Last night I put both of my thermometers in my mouth at the same time to make sure they were in sync.
I have a question for those that pee on things at work. Do you pee right on the strip or bring a cup with?
Edit: fat fingers hit Enter
I use the wrapper as a cup. Win-win

You can try peeing into the wondfo wrapper and then dipping.
I did this once and it did not go well for me, but I've heard others (who apparently have significantly better aim than I do) say they do it all the time. If you do it, don't forget to take the little silica packet out of the wrapper unless you want some pop rocks style sound effects.

Nothing to add. I have done a fairly good amount of these. The whole CM in the work bathroom thing. Why does it take so long to analyze CM? Or why does it always have to look borderline at times?
