You know you've been TTC too long when....

[fisher640]

When you borrow your sister's car (who has an 8 month old baby) and the carseat base, mirror on the back windshield to see inside the carseat, and sunshades are still in the car. You drive around pretending that all of the things in the car are for your baby, just so you can feel what it is like to be a mom.

Depressing...but guilty!

I've mentally completed my entire baby registry while browsing at the baby superstore just because I had a day off work.

....when you buy a ring binder to organise all your test results and records, so you can refer easily to them when going to appointments.
Or maybe that's just me.

Oooh, that's a great idea! I have quite the collection, too, and right now my specialist stuff is in one folder and my other pre-specialist paperwork is in another. A binder is a great idea...albeit crazy that we have that much stuff to keep track of

I have just broken my folder by having too much paperwork in it!

I'm sorry it's been such a long road for you

 

[NellyVille]

Oh rosebud that's awful! One question - how are you still sane?? You must be one strong lady to deal with this hell for that amount of time. Major respect and the hugest of hugs to you xx

When a work colleagues initials are CM and all you think about is cervical mucus. Same with another abbreviation at work which is SA, then you think seimen analysis.

 

[Wallie]

When you hear of another friend announcing their pregnancy and all you think is fuck off

 

[Missus_L]

When you begin to hide everyone on FB when they announce a pregnancy!
When you imagine an extra line on your preggers test
When your loved ones never mention anything to do with you ever having a child
When you kick off at someone you haven't seen in a while when they say 'oh you will be next' :/

 

[Lizzy444]

You know it's been a long road when....

Your mom pulls out her book of grandkid pictures and feels the need to point out to you that she's included a photo of your DOG in the book.....as you are the only daughter (of 4) who has no children....

Thanks, mom, like I really needed that.

Isn't that hide feature on FB the greatest thing?

I bet it would feel sooooo good to kick someone when they say/do insensitive things!

Yes!

When your OH has TTC dreams!

 

[NavyWife84]

When your DH used to get excited when you initiated dtd...now he just rolls his eyes!

When your mom knows where you are in your cycle and sends you "good luck" text messages, telling you to go home, light some candles, and enjoy a night with your hubby...true story!

Mom also encourages us to dtd when I am oing, no matter where I am...at my grandmother's house...she won't hear a thing, sister's house...we just won't tell her that you dtd at her house; my parent's house...that's why we have the rooms upstairs! My mom is a little baby crazy too! (and she already has 3 grandchildren...2 from my brother and 1 from my sister)

 

[petitpas]

OMG! I can't imagine my mum sending me upstairs for a quickie

 

[Sophe]

when you have spent thousands on all the vits OPK pre seed soft cups etc ... and are ordering you 9th tube of preseed from amazon...
