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!

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!

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 .

@LindsayInNY: We just got back from Oktoberfest.

@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.

@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.

@NorCalWayfarer: Great idea! Thanks for making this!

@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.

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

Love this idea!

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!

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!

@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!

@NorCalWayfarer: Thanks for starting this, I have been stalking it since I know it will be helpful soon!

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.

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.

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.
