But we are going away this weekend so there's always another chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-309232 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:46:06 +0000 marionberry 309232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweettooth: I can't live without coffee at my job, so when I find out I'm pregnant I'll switch to decaf or do just a small cup, but until then I'll be guzzling down the stuff lol. And I love donuts. I say that this period of TTC is really stressful, so we should all do what we want, within reason. A massage sounds fabulous though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-309213 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:33:20 +0000 sweetooth 309213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ambular1025: After cycle 7 I started to drink on occasion while TTC too. I started this journey trying to cut out a lot of things, but it only made me more upset as time went on and I wasn't preggers AND I was denying myself caffeine and alcohol.</p> <p>A hot bath sounds relaxing...</p> <p>This morning I treated myself to some Dunkin Donuts...hmm, perhaps I should stop "treating" myself with food and drink and move on to home goods, clothing or massages :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-309201 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:25:16 +0000 marionberry 309201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I drink on occasion while TTC anyway, when I get AF it usually has me so upset that I require a BIG glass of wine (or two) and a hot bath. It's the only time I can get away from DH for very long and cry while dulling the pain, lol. I buy myself clothes and items for home a lot regardless haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308680 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:00:27 +0000 spaniellove 308680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: I remember I got a great massage just before we started TTC and you're making think I should start going back for them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308679 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:00:08 +0000 sweetooth 308679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: ha! Together, those sound disgusting. :)</p> <p>I've never tried a chocolate covered cherry Blizzard...that sounds delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308676 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:58:44 +0000 sweetooth 308676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I say go for it! And then I say schedule a massage like @Grace to escape the thought of the depressing, aggressive infertility stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308673 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:56:56 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 308673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds so good! I want a chocolate covered cherry blizzard! And sushi. But not together. : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308653 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:39:48 +0000 spaniellove 308653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessiBee: The first several cycles I was all over the shopping! And I even decided on a month where if I wasn't knocked up by that time I would probably stay my current size through the fall/winter, so I could justify splurging on new cold weather clothes. </p> <p>I'm thinking of having a glass of wine tonight although it feels a little weird b/c DH won't be home till late and I have a rule about not drinking alone. Go for it? No? I should also think of a nice indulgence since we're now moving on to more depressing, aggressive infertility stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308610 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:02:07 +0000 sweetooth 308610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: oooh, I'm so jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308513 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:07:35 +0000 Grace 308513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: And work insurance might cover it, so it's freeeeeeeeeeee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308278 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:24:08 +0000 Running Elley 308278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: That gelato sounds AMAZING!!! I'd run because running is (was...) my stress reliever and I'd always be nervous to do a lot of it during the TWW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308268 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:19:16 +0000 sweetooth 308268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: we totally deserve it! :)</p> <p>@Grace: Now that's a great idea! I was considering a pedicure, but a massage sounds so much better.</p> <p>@Running Elley: nice way to balance it all out :) I've been indulging in my new favorite frozen treat over the past few months - Talenti Gelato - Sea Salt Caramel. Delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308255 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:11:52 +0000 Running Elley 308255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go for a long run and eat ice cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308250 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:09:54 +0000 Grace 308250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go for a massage. Which I missed last month, dang it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308152 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:33:55 +0000 GreenThumb 308152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've definitely indulged in the wine/beer/sushi myself on occasion! We deserve it, right? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-308100 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:08:51 +0000 sweetooth 308100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessiBee and @jholler25: purchasing a little something is always nice :)</p> <p>@Alivoo01: it's a positive that comes out of a negative, right? Indulgence! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-307563 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:24:37 +0000 Alivoo01 307563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally indulge in the no-no food list! Frozen yogurt, wine, and lots and lots of sushi/sashimi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-307496 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:55:57 +0000 PrincessBaby 307496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always bought myself something nice...Usually a purse or a pair of shoes I'd been eying...And I can put down some wine on a normal regular day, so when AF would show, I would definitely drink an entire bottle of wine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-307463 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:35:10 +0000 JessiBee 307463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few months where I decided AF's arrival meant I was staying my usual size for a while longer, so I went shopping! I never went crazy, but I'd buy myself one or two things if I found stuff I liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beer-and-blizzards#post-307445 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:24:58 +0000 sweetooth 307445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew AF was on her way soon due to my typical symptoms...tender breasts, face looks like I'm 15 again, lower back aches...so I indulged in some drinks with friends this past weekend. And then to keep the good times rolling, I had some beers while watching football on Sunday. And after washing the car, I rewarded myself with a Butterfinger Blizzard from Dairy Queen. And today, the day she finally said HELLO!!!, I plan to have some sushi for lunch.</p> <p>How do you "celebrate" the dreaded arrival of AF during your TTC journey? </p>
