TTC- What have we turned ourselves into?

Question

Im also TTC and every once in a while I step back and realize the weird and humorous changes it's made in me:

1. "Ok honey, we have to do it TODAY!" (never thought of sex as a task before..)

2. Checking your cm... I have never evaluated anything like THAT before.. lol.

3. BBT.. Do you ever get the feeling like TTC is more like having an illness? When else do you moniter and record your every waking minute!

4. Evaluating your every twinge, rumble, or tweak in the lower half of your body..

5. The joy of blaming your tiredness on the possibility of pregnancy

6. Constantly gauging the amount of sensitivity of your breasts.. I guess that one is just the beginning of the reality that your breasts have more of a purpose than you could have imagined! "Breasts.. they're not just for fun anymore!!"

7. Peeing on a stick has NEVER been this much fun... Anyone has have a designated cup? lol..

Feel free to add to my list of lighthearted fun-poking at all of us!

My DH and I went though the same mission too. It was like a job that had to get done and it couldn't wait. I was very militant about my cm and body temps. Fortunatly we got married in Oct 06 and for my girls night we had a pleasure part and everybody got me something from it (which have been sitting in my closet since). To break the silence, I busted out toys and lotions when we ttc, some of the things we didn't know how to work but it made the situation much more fun and funnier rather than serious.
