pmsl, dh asks you to leave him alone for 1 night!

when my dp gets what he wants for one week a month to make sure i am bding on right days

when you buy new underwear and dh asks if its that time of the month already

You wake up at 4am really needing to go to the toilet but have to lay in bed as you have to take your temperature.

...you think that EVERYONE around you is pg, every ad, every workmate, everyone in all the shops, of course, it is only you that is not!

going to the toliet and cant help but check your boobs to see if the look any different even in the work toliet window

you refuse to wee after sex, just incase it makes the sperm come out

near period time you check your nipples every 2 mins for 'classic pregnancy darkening'

you have sex even when you are so tired you can hardly move

and you refuse to do 'other' things with dp for a whole week, because you want the sperm, and thats that.

you moan at dp when teso has a budweiser offer that if he drinks his sperm wont work. so, just incase, you lie about your shopping budget so it appears you cannot afford it.

youre not as mad about clothes for yourself its all about tiny baby clothes, buggies, pink,blue, names............

you gaze at maternity things longingly and swear that you will look fab!

iv been looking at buggy boards an dbls today! i have just one dd opps an the tiny tiny baby clothes make me melt had dd's memory box out this morning cant believe how small she was!
Iv been to babyclinic today(jabs) an it was full of tiny babies aged 3weeks to 9weeks with exception of my 1yo

*Legs up after sex!
*DH asking for sex and you saying yes!
*Dreaming about tests/CM/charting/temping and so on!
*Thinking twice about things you eat, drink and med's you take!
*Crying because you didn't have sex last night!
*When people are telling you "relax it'll happen when it happens" and you just want to hit them!
*When you see loads and I mean loads of bumps and new baby's everywhere you go!
*WHEN YOU CANT THINK OF ANYTHING'S ELSE, first thing you think of when you wake up (temp) and the last thing you think of at night (leg up after BDing)!

Tuck me 18 months TC my LO, but charting was the thing that did it for me, and due to PCOS (which my doctor and consultant believe i have) the wee on test sticks didn't work for me but the Saliva Ovulation Tester/Microscope worked first month for me!
Good luck Ladies!

When you open the compost bin to see if it smells any worse or makes you feel sick

When you prod and poke your boobs so much, your not sure if they are sore for the reasons you hope or because you keep prodding them

When you convince yourself that you must be and you ask / google 'could i be pregnant?'...

Despite being on the Pill

your spotting but completely in denial and just have to go buy that preganancy test...

you don't let dh fall asleep on the couch because he will be too tired for sex if he doesn't stay awake....

when dh makes the bath water too hot and i'm thinking he's killing valuable sperm!..

counting the days on the calendar seeing who is working late because have to have sex on those certain nights no matter what...

when your daily routine consists of temperature charting, checking your cm, taking your vitamens, avoiding caffeine, marking the calendar for fertile days, and thinking this is the month...

buying baby clothes and aren't even pregnant yet...

when you look at maternity clothes and look forward to fitting in them....

when you cry every time you see a baby...

when you cry for days every period...

when you have pms and are thinking its preg symptoms, don't want to face reality...

you look at every pregnant woman with despise and think, why not me?.....

and everyone is telling everyone to relax!! When it's something you want so bad that it's consuming your thoughts and dreams....it's hard to relax, even when I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming babies..........

{{hug}} i know.

when you have to destroy the pregnancy test you did that morning to stop you fishing it out of the bin every half hour and staring at it in various lights.
