My husband declared the other day that he was tired of sacrificing when I mentioned to him that the next time we needed to really try was during his work xmas parties where they'd be serving free alcohol. It hit me really hard when he wasn't willing to give up one thing when I've given up so much.

It's been 3 years since I've been diving.
A year since I've given up caffeine. Almost a year since I've given up even decaf coffee and tea (you won't rip the chocolate bar out of my hands). I don't take NSAID's anymore except for when the cramps get really really bad. Stopped taking melatonin when I can't sleep, read the warnings on every cream, ointment, gel, pill, and tablet. Then look up their pregnancy class online. And then I go without them more often than not 'just in case'.
I've had UTI's three times in the past few months (now having to pee before and right after each attempt) complete with a round of pregnancy 'safe' antibiotics that made me fussy each time.
I turn down brie, feel bad eating (vegetarian) sushi, overcook my eggs even though I like them a little runny, try extra hard to make sure I'm getting enough iron, protein, proper vitamins and minerals in my diet each day, and not gain weight at the same time. Meaning I have to make sure each calorie I eat counts. No more cookies and tea for breakfast, or browinies and coffee for snacks.
Take pregnancy vitamins every day (I ripped the label off months ago hoping to trick myself into thinking it's just a multivitamin). Try to be active and stay positive even though my sister in law beat me to the first grandchild status, AND she had a girl! Have not given up ballet as it's the one bit of exercise I get during the week (plus the class is pretty good fun) but stress out each time we do grand battement derriere (basically a big kick, derriere being to the back ) which a teacher told me once can have an effect on pregnancy. Haven't gotten my ice skates sharpened since that's off the cards if I do get pregnant. Worry each time I don dust mask and gloves to change the cat litter.
Had a laparascopy for endometriosis, which wasn't pleasant and now am thinking IVF or IUI may be next and they sound even more unpleasant. Wishing that I didn't have to be contemplating the added cost of getting pregnant since I'd much rather be spending it on a Canon 5Dmark ii (with a lens or two ).
Ordered sperm safe lube and OPKs online after learning from my gyn that the months of using a saliva scope were useless since they're not really all that accurate, and I tend to agree with him since getting test strips. Although I must admit looking at the ferns was quite fun. Doing a saliva sample meant not eating or drinking for a few hours, doing the OPK test strips means not peeing or drinking for hours. The latter is difficult when you're constantly afraid of getting a UTI.

And lets not even get into the emotional rollercoaster that the hormones keep bringing on.

I suppose it's just hard for a guy to understand, after all he has given it up for a few months, and it would be hard to say no to free stuff. I've told him he can do whatever he wants, we're creatures of free will after all!

What are some things you've given up?
