  I'm the worst, but glad to know others have these as well!!

  
  

  The first would be reality TV for sure!  I'll watch almost anything, but The Bachelor is tops on my list at the moment!

  
  

  Another would be trashy romance novels.  The trashier the better.  DH knows this, so for one V-Day he actually found a "create your own romance novel" online starring him and I and had is "published" for me.  Super sweet, but kinda weird, too!

  Alcohol. I rationalize by hoping that I will be pregnant next month with my upcoming cycle. I justify by saying that due to my failed IUI cycle over Christmas that I'm making up for lost time. (we are talking 2ish glasses a night during the week and 3-4 on the weekend).

  TTC Since 3/2010
  Me-36, Unexplained Infertility, DH-35, all clear
  Clomid 50mg 12/2011 = BFN
  Clomid 100mg 1/2012 = BFN, with Cyst
  IVF #1 Lupron/Menopur/Gonal-f/HCG Trigger
  ER 4/19/12 = 11 retrieved, 6 fertilized,
  ET 4/22/12 = 2 transfered (day 3), remaining 3 weren't good enough to freeze
  Beta 5/3 = BFP, 87 Beta #2 5/7 560.9 Beta #3 5/9 1376.5 First u/s One Baby, 125bpm!
  Second u/s, 176bmp! Kicked over to the OB by the RE at 8w. Team Green!! 

  Baby girl J arrived two weeks early! Born into water, med-free. Hooray for Team Pink!

  Yes, graphic and choose your own plot!  He went with a Western historical "cowboy" theme.  You even get to choose the villain, etc.  I'm not sure how many different "theme" choices there were, but more than just this one, I think.  Fun, but kinda strange to read this with your own and DH's names as the main characters!
