Pinched this from another site but thought it was really funny!

you know you're trying to conceive when .........

  • you think you might wet your pants every morning because you can't go to the bathroom until your thermometer beeps!

  • you are begging your dh to bd with you!!! (normallly other way around)

  • after bd, you lay on your back and ask your partner to shove a pillow under your bum!

  • someone asks you what day of your cycle it is and you automatically quickly reply with 'cycle day 16'

  • the two weeks wait is the longest 2 weeks of your life

  • you open the bathroom cupboard and all you can see if hpts, opks & tampons!!

  • you glare at every pregnant woman that walks past you.... (and they notice!)

  • you start talking or emailing to your non-forum friends and use abbreviations like "ttc", "af", "cm", "bbs" and they look at you as they have no friggen idea what you are talking about....
  • you buy every possible known fertility book around.....

  • you buy baby clothes even though you aren't even pregnant yet....

  • you start speaking in mysterious tongues; bd dpo ttc ewcm

  • you want to draw a coverline over stock market graphs in the financial page

  • at any given time, you know what your edd would be if you got pg that month.

  • you're taking an odd interest in what's in your panties

  • you think every tingle means you are pg....in grown hair, hang nail, stuffy nose...etc

  • before making an omelet you look somewhat wistfully at the egg white

  • your husband says 'cervical mucous' with natural candor and confidence

  • you don't know the date, but you know your cd or how many dpo's you are.

  • your boobs are sore because you're always touching them to see if they are sore as a sign of pregnancy.

  • you bolt off to the loo when you have an inkling that some cm may have made an appearance for an inspection and analysis. doesn't matter when and where you are cos it may be the only bit you get and it's got to be analysed while it is fresh.

  • on some days each month your dh sneaks into the house really quietly so that he can at least drop his keys before you jump him.
