I put off a bunch of races this year and really regret it. I need to find some to sign up for! </p> <p>@Grace: Um I'm totally stealing this idea :-) Sounds like a treat!</p> <p>@mrskoloa: Awesome thanks! DH has never been to Kauai so it's high on out list!</p> <p>@Cole: Oh my gosh this is perfect! I need to plant some bulbs so this would be such an amazing story if this were my month!!</p> <p>@MrsMcD: Amen to that one ;-)</p> <p>Thanks for everyone for sharing on this thread. It's really helpful to look back and realize all the things I can still be grateful for at this moment. &lt;3 :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1171111 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:41:13 +0000 loopedd 1171111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been thinking about posting on here all week. I'm currently on the upswing of the emotional roller coaster but I just wanted to say it's so tiring and I'm only only month 2 of TTC! It's just so strange to constantly be like, "Welllll I could be pregnant at that time so..." when you are making future plans. I think I need to relax BIG TIME. I am upping my yoga twice to twice a week and trying very hard not to make BD a chore for DH... he has hinted that I am getting obsessive and I feel bad. Also, WINE!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1169614 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 17:59:08 +0000 mrs. 64 1169614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had several days of Disney and amusement parks this summer. I've completed 2 (and halfway through another) grad classes since we started. We renovated our master bathroom. I would love to plan a trip to have something to look forward to. I would like to go on a ski trip, but that is a risky one if I do get pregnant in the meantime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1169469 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 16:41:19 +0000 deactivated_account 1169469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I realize I am not pregnant, I also realize I can continue to nap, sleep in, booze it up, and go in hot tubs all to my hearts desire. DH and I are definately enjoying our quiet house while we can. We just pray we don't have a quiet house forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1169319 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 15:34:12 +0000 Cole 1169319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: Thanks for starting this, I have been stalking it since I know it will be helpful soon! </p> <p>Yoga has been helpful for me, I even splurged and bought a new mat yesterday. My gym has a great hot tub, sauna and steam room so taking advantage of those is a nice thing to do post bfn. I also bought a puzzle to put together which should prevent some unnecessary googling. </p> <p> Last month during the tww I planted a bunch of bulbs for the spring hoping I could tell our child one day that they were planted while we waited for them to come, I was sad that it didn't work out until I realized that this whole TTC time falls into that category. I am sort of nesting in that way you do while getting ready for a special guest. Planting flowers and cleaning out closets to make room and sprucing up our home are for my husband and I but really if we didn't want kids we wouldn't even have bought the house. So much of what we do is getting ready for a tiny, much anticipated guest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1169187 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:53:54 +0000 Littlebit 1169187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Ah! That's awesome!! I keep going back and forth. 60% want to do it, 40% terrified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168899 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 13:26:21 +0000 LindsayInNY 1168899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: Oooh, definitely go sky diving!! DH and I did it last May as a pre-baby bucket list item. Scared the crap out of me but I had a blast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168834 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 13:07:26 +0000 Littlebit 1168834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: saving is a necessary evil! I love watching our savings balance climb...but hate actually doing it! I'm also trying to save and stock up on my PTO so that when I do get to go on maternity leave, I'll have lots to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168813 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 13:01:35 +0000 Happygal 1168813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this idea!</p> <p>We're trying to save, so every month I'm not pregnant, we see it as one more month to get ahead. I know that's not as exciting!</p> <p>I did a dumb thing for this month. I've been putting off getting a follow up mammogram for a lump they found, so I scheduled it for after I start my period. A massage is a much better idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168807 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:58:40 +0000 littlek 1168807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Good luck today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168806 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:58:39 +0000 Littlebit 1168806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: Great idea! Thanks for making this!</p> <p>@runnerd: I've been the same with running! I keep hoping I'll have a reason not to sign up for a race...but I need to just buck up and do it.</p> <p>I'm going on a trip to Mexico next week - so it'll be nice to eat/drink whatever I want and be able to go ziplining! I've also decided that if I'm not pregnant by February (my birthday) - I'm going skydiving. Snowboarding this winter will be nice too. Plenty of things to look forward to :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1168776 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:50:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 1168776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Ahhh, jealous!! How waws it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167521 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:34:31 +0000 mrskoloa 1167521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: If you folks decide to come to Hawaii, let me know. I can give you some great ideas for Kauai, considering I live here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167515 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:14:33 +0000 Grace 1167515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to schedule a massage for the week after AF. It was the silver lining if I got a BFN....which happened all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167454 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:19:41 +0000 mlm2934 1167454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: I've been putting a lot of running goals on hold bc "I'll probably be pregnant then" and don't want to get deep into training for nothing - finally enough is enough... Signed up for 3 October races, 2 Nov races, and a half in Dec. if I'm not pregnant by then, marathon training will be next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167196 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 19:44:48 +0000 bhbee 1167196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard. I had a moment this morning where I kept thinking about how I should be pregnant still but of course I'm not. I did feel better when I came home to my 50 wondfos I ordered, that feels like hope. I like to rant to my journal, it helps me get out the negative feelings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167123 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 19:18:04 +0000 littlek 1167123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: We just got back from Oktoberfest. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1167104 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 19:14:11 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1167104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a really, really hard time being 'up' right now. I'm so disappointed in my Clomid cycle, and am a nervous wreck for my u/s and bloodwork tomorrow.</p> <p>Keeping busy helps. C's birthday party is this weekend so I'm cleaning like a mad woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1166983 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 18:33:40 +0000 pui 1166983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I just try and distract myself. I spend a lot of time reading my bible. Also I agree with @LindsayInNY, white wine helps lol!</p> <p>Ehh... I try and cherish little things, like my husband and I being able to do whatever we want whenever we want to. We may be going to an all inclusive resort for Christmas this year, which would be basically impossible to do if I was pregnant or had a baby. Still, all I want for Christmas is a :bfp: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1166820 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 17:08:58 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1166820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Oh yes and lovely alcohol too :-) We also talked about a Hawaii vacation in January too if I'm not pregnant -- partially as a BDing vacation (DH said he'd even schedule it around when I'm Oing), and partially just to have something fun to look forward too! Oktoberfest would be the best non-pregnant vacation! And Grand Canyon sounds super fun too, I've never been! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1166799 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:58:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 1166799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Truthfully, just knowing that one day it will be my turn helps me stay positive! But, in the meantime, I'm enjoying lovely alcohol! I'll definitely be skiing this winter if I can. And we've talked about possible future vacations if I don't need to save up vacation time for maternity leave... London in the Spring, Oktoberfest in the fall, etc. If I'm pregnant, I'll be okay not doing either though! We're going to schedule a Jeep tour in AZ next month once I finish this cycle. Also look into a mule tour into the Grand Canyon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1166778 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:45:50 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1166778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking forward to eating stinky cheese, continuing to practice yoga (to keep me sane), and snowboarding this winter! I also may sign up to run a half marathon so I have a goal to look forward to (I feel like I've been putting things on hold while TTC and gosh darn it I'm tired of waiting!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-rollovers-staying-positive#post-1166774 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:44:10 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1166774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thought I would make this it's own thread... for those of us who have yet to get our BFP, what keeps your spirits up? What are some things you are looking forward to doing that you may not have been able to do if you were pregnant? </p> <p>(Note I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad, just looking for some silver linings about having to wait for our BFPs!) </p>
