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 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.

*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!

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?.....

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.
