You know you’ve been ttc-ing for too long...

[Millypad]

Anyone fancy contributing to this and letting us know what odd habits have made their way into your life?

I knew I’d been ttc-ing for too long when I woke up at 1am this morning with my bbt thermometer beeping in my mouth and no memory of putting it there. #sleepcharting

You know you've been ttc too long when you text to say you have a positive opk and apologise because it wasn't meant to be a sex night...

You know you've been ttc too long when some people are pregnant with their second since you both started ttc...

When you feel like giving up altogether!
When you scour the conception threads and feel no sense of enthusiasm to ask any questions because 13 cycles later it seems obvious this month is not going to be the month.
When you are not 100% sure if it is 13 or 14 months because you have lost count xx

When you've lost count of how many months you've been trying.

When you get in a total rage and then burst into tears when you see threads on here or posts on fb etc where women have got pregnant without trying or on their first cycle of ttc

You've been TTC for too long when you text your OH a sex schedule for the month. With and * on the date you expect to ovulate with a note "this date may change depending on opks.... I'll text you when I know more" 😂🤣

Or when you burst into tears in the pub the day before AF is due because you got a negative hpt that morning and it's ruined Valentines Day (a day you don't even celebrate)

Or when you text your mates about bfn/bfp/htp/opk/iykwim/erpc/mmc and they text back saying... what does that mean?

When it's perfectly normal and acceptable to you to have a 4:30am alarm set on a Saturday & Sunday so your BBT chart is accurate

When you buy a pill box and spend Sunday evening setting up the next week's worth of vitamins and supplements

When you try and find a new eBay seller to buy your OPKs from because you've been buying from the same one for so long that you don't want them to feel sorry for you

When Yo uve stopped reading how to conceive books, because You've read enough that they don't say anything new.

when you hear the word 'relax' and instantly want to punch someone in the face

When you've lost count of how many months you've been trying.

This all day long!

welshsoph totally lol. The amount of times in my head i'm like just let it go we can't argue today because we need to dtd tonight

When you feel sick, but don't know if you feel sick, or are focusing on whether or not you feel sick?! Typing that makes me feel blooming sick!

Haha!! Ladies this has totally brightened my day. 😘

When you don't give a shit about eating right, forget to fill in the app & track your period & now don't know what day it is let alone what cycle day you're on 😂 just strolling along

Yip, I don't even bother shaving my legs unless It's fw now

When your sister has had three in the same time you've failed to conceive even once.

When it's completely killed your sex life because you're thinking "What's the bloody point, I'm barren anyway."

I’ve just had a glug of red wine from the bottle because alcohol doesn’t count if it’s not in a glass and I’ve done too many 2wws to be totally abstemious

Sorry, didn't mean to lower the mood. I'd vowed never to post in Conception again, but it came up in Active!

When you scream at 17 kids and counting "how the f*ck can she pop one out a year?" Surely she won't miss one?

When you no longer care who knows your ttcing anyway because you've become one of those "who should get off anyway"

@HesterShaw my gosh, not at all! That’s what we’re all here for - it’s a ‘safe space’ so to speak. (God, what business speak, you can tell I’ve been in meetings all day)

Yip, I don't even bother shaving my legs unless It's fw now

I don't even shave my legs in fw anymore.

Owl - spot on. I've told everyone I've left teaching to do ivf. No one knows how to respond!!

Omg my boss @physicskate has definitely put me into the ttc box she keeps dropping hints grrr
