Haha, isn't that the truth Pom! Countdown is a lifestyle!! not something you can just create a screen name for and be part of the "club".

You ladies are the best ... keep it up!

Love all of these!! And sadly, most of them ring true with me!

... if whenever you feel hungry, you hurry to eat asap, so that the "baby" won't be left without supply.

... if suddenly you find the smell of your favorite perfume of your DH very disgusting, and you're more than pleased about it.

if you want to lose your "honeymoon 10" just to fit into your jeans but figure "nah, it's good for a baby"

... If the idea of buying HPTs makes you smile.

... if you break out into tears in the diaper aisle of the grocery store...
... if you've told your best friend for the third year in a row to hang onto her old baby gear "just for another year" until you finally get knocked up...
... if your pharmacist smiles every time he sees you walking in the neighbourhood, with the gleeful anticipation of a man who knows full well that he is about to rake in another thousand dollars from selling "that woman who won't give up" her fertility meds...
... if your DH goes on bedroom strike because he is "tapped out"...
... if you've gotten to the point where only want to make love "when it counts" and can't summon the energy outside of your fertile window...
... if you find yourself harshly judging the sixteen year old mom with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth at the bus stop and want to scream at adoption officials who make infertiles dance for months while they wait for a chance to be approved to spend their life savings to get a baby...
... if you wonder what happened to the woman who used to love spending time with pregnant and new parent friends and is now avoiding them...
... if you spend more time checking CTP and fertile thoughts threads than you do your work email...

Blessings and prayers from me to you on this challenging journey. We will find resolution, one day, one way... perhaps not in the way we envision it, but we will find our way.

i love this

When your Husband thinks you are insane to keep OPK's in your purse to make sure you POAS twice a day.

If you can't be found, to check the bathrooms as you are probably sneaking away to POAS in hopes of a +OPK

...if you only like your husband 5 days out of the month =)
