You Know You're TTGP When....

b_1029 · May 2019

@brookert615 yea I think we’ll start trying again at the end of June when that cycle starts, but I’m going to Florida with my MIL/SIL and selfishly don’t want to start a new medication and potentially feel like crap the whole time. So we’re thinking we’ll start working with the RE the next cycle which would be towards the end of July.

ejoseph16 · May 2019

You are grocery shopping and see great cups to use as pee cups on sale, so you scream to YH that pee cups are on sale... 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

varimama · May 2019

You look at events like weddings coming up on your calendar and start trying to come up with reasonable excuses for why you aren’t drinking in case you’re KU right before.

You're making sweet potatoes and realize one looks like a sperm so you immediately look for one that looks like an egg.

ruby696 · May 2019

@celticknotfire The other day I noticed the egg I was making for breakfast was shaped like my uterus.🤦‍♀️

When you go to the local pharmacy for the “usual” which consists of pregnancy tests and candy and the lady at checkout gives you two thumbs up as you leave.

chichiphin · May 2019

when you notice it’s the Blue Flower Moon the day of ovulation and think to yourself: this is it. And then you stand outside in the moon light 🌚

This (see spoiler) pops up on your twitter feed & you're like "...opioid users can use OPKs to help them get off drugs?!"

Spoiler alert: Totally not an OPK. Article (that I didn't read in full) is here.

You come up with ideas like this and feel truly annoyed that The Bump hasn't thought of it...instead of the "what does a + HPT look like" thread on 1st trimester there really needs to be a thread where people explain in detail what their symptoms were during their TWW as they got closer to their BFP. In fact it should be required that every pregnant user post a detailed description there of how they felt on each individual DPO. Wouldn't this be a good thread to obsess over?? I've grown tired of analyzing everything using countdowntopregnancy dot com - a good site if you want to spend 30 minutes typing in different symptoms only to circle back to the conclusion that you cannot tell if you're KU from looking at a website.

brookert615 · May 2019

@whitealbum29 YES! I totally love that idea!

craftywitch · May 2019

Me: *eats HUGE plate of Indian food buffet for lunch*

Also me: I feel nauseated! I bet I'm pregnant!!! Hmmm it's only 8 DPO... Okay fine if I throw up I'm pregnant for sure though!

inthewoods23 · May 2019

@craftywitch pregnant with a food baby 😂

keikilove · May 2019

You confess to YH that somehow you still get excited every night that in the morning you get to take your temp & pee on a test stick. And the guy actually says, “I look forward to it too. I just don’t tell you because I don’t want you to feel even more pressure.” These are now the things that make me swoon.🥰

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

@whitealbum29 Love Rebecca Bunch. Watching that show for the first time rn!!

Also, I agree with you.

brookert615 · May 2019

That you've bought so many HPTs and fertility supplements that your randomly get a "Sperm Check" coupon with your Rite Aid purchase. I just got some seasonal stuff that was on clearance this trip so the lady looked at the coupon and then handed it to me with pure confusion.

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@brookert615

Dead. "Here's your beach chair and coupon to check your... sperm...?"

brookert615 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll Hahah! Pretty much how it went LOL.

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

@brookert615 Haha, sweet!! Go check your man's sperm!

brookert615 · May 2019

@bobbyflies2020 Bahah! I should! I waved the coupon in his face but the at-home test kit is like $60! I wonder if anyone has used them/think they're reliable?

kagesstarshroom · May 2019

@brookert615 Sounds like a Q for CS!

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

@brookert615 I believe drugstore ones give you a count but dont test for mobility?

brookert615 · May 2019

@kagesstarshroom It honestly is a good question!

@bobbyflies2020 Yes I'm pretty sure it's only for count? I will have to read the label next time in there!

inthewoods23 · June 2019

You walk past the baby section in Target hoping for some magic vibes to come your way soon

flowntheloop · June 2019

A followup to @inthewoods23

When you buy a "Papa Bear" t-shirt on the Father's Day rack at Target in the hopes you can give it to your husband very soon. ^^; I've hidden it in my closet so he can't find it!

inthewoods23 · June 2019

@flowntheloop I have definitely recently looked up Oldest Cousin onesies to gift my sister and BIL. Seriously considering buying one

flowntheloop · June 2019

@inthewoods23 Awww those sound so cute! I've also been looking at creative announcement shirts on Etsy. Guhh! Why do I have to torture myself like this?

mvt2003 · June 2019

@inthewoods23 @flowntheloop I try not to go too deep into the rabbit hole, but I've def thought about how we would tell my in-laws (my parents have passed away, so no one to tell on that side). My BiL and SiL have two kids already, so a lot of the "you're going to be a grandparent" stuff kind of feels weird for me.

inthewoods23 · June 2019

@mvt2003 my sister did the "only the best X get promoted to Y" stuff for all of us. My parents got mugs, I got a wood plaque thing (home decor), and my brother got a shirt. I suppose I can still do that for the ILs, but that type of thing is a 1 time opportunity.

mvt2003 · June 2019

@inthewoods23 Every time they've announced, my BiL has been too excited and has just called people, no special announcements. (He called and woke an uncle and aunt up at like 10pm to tell them). You're right it's kind of a 1 time thing though. Maybe I'll just let husband take the lead on it.

varimama · June 2019

I came up with the cutest way to tell DH last cycle and I might have been almost as bummed to not get to use it yet as I was with the BFNs.

emeraldduchess · June 2019

We thought about getting those custom wine bottle labels, but I don't know if we will if/when the time comes.

bobbyflies2020 · June 2019

@emeraldduchess *TW living kid* Ha! We did that with my DS! Only to our closest family. We put the US pic right on the label and had so much fun waiting for them to get it.

ejoseph16 · June 2019

You complain about constipation 2 DPO, and your husband gets giddy and says “that’s a good sign! You were constipated last time!” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣😂

mercury94 · June 2019

When you have to break a $100 bill, so you just buy a bunch of pee sticks at CVS.

b_1029 · June 2019

@mercury94 I mean, you’re just being fiscally responsible.

keikilove · June 2019

You dream that a nurse at your RE’s office is confidently encouraging you, saying, “Oh, you just need Durafit! We’ll order you Durafit & you’ll have guaranteed success!” So you wake up & google it: it’s a material used in car parts, custom stretchy seat covers, & maternity support panties?!?

emeraldduchess · June 2019

You buy ingredients to nonalcoholic margaritas for July 4 "just in case"...

inthewoods23 · August 2019

When you have dreams of POAS that turn positive but they're an HPT you've never bought before so you decide you must go out and buy that brand for next cycle.

ottergirl81 · August 2019

When you're buying new (gently used but new to me) T-shirts and wanna make sure they are stretchy and long enough, just in case. Multi-purpose😉

shoogapoff · August 2019

@ottergirl81 Totally. All of my new clothes are maternity-friendly. I'm getting a reputation for only wearing flowy dresses! Little do they know...
