For those of us TTC, let's all vow to do something fun for ourselves if this cycle doesn't work out.
After getting my false positive last month, it felt really good to go on our pre-planned trip to Paris and eat/drink my face off. Now we're trying again and I promised myself if it doesn't work out I'll start planning an anniversary trip somewhere warm and non-baby friendly, possibly Tahiti?
What fun thing will you do if this cycle doesn't work out?

Run a marathon! I just did one in Nov, so I already have base training if this month doesn't work out. And of course - drink! A new brewery just opened in town that I haven't visited yet.

Go crazy and drink, drink, drink on NYE. It's rather simple, lol, (what can I say, I'm from Wisconsin!!) but if I don't get KU this cycle that's the only thing I'm really looking forward to. Last year DH and I were lame and went to bed around 8 pm on NYE, so this year we want to do something fun

@runnerd what marathon did you run? I decide against running one this fall because we started trying this summer. I'm itching to train for something.
Pretty boring, but I'm planning to drink too much and have a sushi dinner this week if it doesn't work out this time. I"ll likely be in my next TWW over NYE so I'm not sure if I'll decide to go crazy then...

@savanarunner: I ran Indianapolis monumental. If I don't end up preggers this month, I'm going to train for RnR New Oreleans in Feb, and just NTNP for jan/feb. I really wanted to get one more in before a baby!

We have a trip planned already to Whistler for NYE, so if TTC doesn't work this month I will get to ski

@runnerd: Which one did you do?? I've done Chicago and Washington... so much fun (but so much training!!!) I'm hoping to keep up with light running once I finally am pregnant.

@char54: Chicago is on my bucket list!! I've done Seattle, st Jude Memphis, and Indy marathon. It's hard, but rewarding!

DH and I have started having sushi dates when AF shows up, so it's something I can ALMOST look forward to. I also found out that we're invited to a wedding in Italy that is 2 days before our anniversary this year....so if the BFNs continue for a while...I'm going to work on convincing DH that we need to go!

I like this game! Although I did feel like a lazy lush b/c my first thought was enjoying holiday cheer in the form of drinks and lots of food, and to see that marathons are on other's lists....well, maybe I'll add some physical activity in there, too!
@Mango.Sprays--I love the idea of a sushi date. I may have to start doing the same!

November wasn't our time...I went out with some girlfriends and DH had to come pick me up! The next day we went for our xmas tree and now we are gearing up for another try...hopefully this will be our last xmas without a little one! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Have a cigar and a glass of wine on my mum's favourite beach on what would have been her 50th birthday.

@Happygal: haha!! Well I tell people my two major hobbies are running and drinking so don't feel too bad they balance each other I guess lol

@RunNerd--do you ever do has runs? There was one that passed by my house the other day, and they looked like they were having so much fun.

@happygal I'm like runnerd, the running is to balance out the boozing
@sweetmamam that sounds like a nice way to celebrate her

I had plans to run in a Tough Mudder ( http://www.toughmudder.com ) in July as a last hurrah before I took the plunge into babymaking (we planned on starting TTC in September). If this month ends up being a BFN I will probably start training for that. It looks scary but will feel like such a huge accomplishment if I'm able to complete it!

Wow, we've got marathon runners and a tough mudder!!! I am definitely impressed!
I am totally with everyone who said they would party on NYE or celebrate with a drink. Once AF arrived last month I immediately made a big cocktail for myself.
For me, planning trips is very theraputic because we try so hard to save $ for a baby, but if it isn't happening the $ almost adds extra stress on us. So finding another way to use it feels really good.

I temp, and a big dip this morning says my period should be here any moment now. Sushi for me tonight! With one of those very tall Japanese beers.
@Thismustbetheplace: I'm so impressed with the Tough Mudder competitors. My friend's husband did it, and she described watching him jump into a container filled with ice water on a not so warm day after slogging up a huge hill. Wow.
@Modern Daisy: I love planning trips, too! I can easily spend hours looking at TripAdvisor (and Jetsetter purely for daydreaming). What destination do you have in mind?
grapefruit / 4187 posts
@Happygal: Oh I absolutely love Tripadvisor too! You can find me on my lunch break with Tripadvisor in one window, kayak.com in another and a hotels website in the third as I 'plan' my trips. My dream is to go to a faraway exotic island like Tahiti, Bora Bora or the Maldives and stay in a luxury overwater bungalow. The flights alone though cost close to $2K each so we probably have to wait until we rack up enough miles to pay for at least one of them, but I can still dream!

If we get a BFN this cycle we'll be trying for baby again on Christmas so I probably won't be able to do much drinking over the holidays but I'm really excited to go to a holiday craft show this weekend and antiquing in a weekend coming up.

I'll be ordering in a fantastic sushi dinner, and living it up on NYE with a bottle of Asti. but January I will def be a little more demanding during that fertile window
pomelo / 5000 posts
@Chillybear: I had to look up what Asti is Sounds good!
@Marionberry: you reminded me that I need to take better advantage of all the fun holiday stuff in town. There's so much to do!
@Modern Daisy: You're good for waiting until your lunch break. I don't always have self-conrol. I sometimes forget that I've created an airfare watch--it's like torture getting emails every now and then for "good" airline prices to dreamy places.

If this isn't my cycle, then I'm planning a warm, tropical getaway. I need something to look forward to, and why not enjoy the bikini body while I still have it
