Top ten things you wish you knew before TTC

[Equal]

well ladies, I obviously have way too much time on my hands tongiht but was talking to DH and we starting to think about all the things we never know about TTC so I thought id start a thread...these are things other then OPK, temping etc..

1. you will be checking your underwear more times then you care to admit (pre-O for EWCM and post-o for IB!)

2. you spend more time on TTC websites then acutally doing the deed

3. every time you pass gas, burp or cramp you think (maybe?)


...anyone care to add???

4. You'll POAS more times than you'll ever care to admit!

5. You'll analyze your (.) (.) for blue veins, increase in size, bumps on the nipple!

6. After BDing, you'll be wondering...."did it fall out?"

You'll spend more on tests each month than you do on food

You wake up every morning and the first thing you think is 'must take my temperature'

When you fancy something different to eat you immediately think "craving?!" lol

That having unprotected sex wouldnt automatically lead to a pregnancy

That most things about TTC can be heartbreaking

That cervical mucus becomes a hot topic of conversation between all TTCers!

That it was so &*(%^ difficult to get pregnant!! If I'd known when I was at uni... (actually it's probably a good thing that I didn't!!)

I wish I knew how much birth control pills mess with our cycle and how long it takes to regulate. If had known, I would have gone off bcp a long time ago.

Does anybody else go thru their day and randomly use the ttc abbv in normal daily activities?

 

[butterflies3]

That on the day AF should appear I would get nervous about seeing her everytime I use the restroom... which is the case today!

 

[jacinda]

That it's so damn difficult!

 

[RaspberryB]

How long 2 weeks can seem.

How quickly you start thinking "what if I can't have kids?".

How frustrating it is if DH isn't in the mood (makes me understand how he felt all those times when I was on the pill and had rubbish sex drive ).

How many pills of various sorts it is actually possible to take on a daily basis

That I would actually get excited about seeing a certain kind of 'mucus'- gross!!!

 

[Twinkl3]

The feeling when your period is just a day late you get yourself all worked up thinking "Maybe I am pregnant?"

When you are constantly looking at calendars and diary's working out when your AF is due, When you should be ovulating and when you would be due if you did get your BFP that month ... Well thats me anyways

 

[kgriffin]
