    You know you're addicted to BB when:



    1. You sign a 2-year contract and pay $60 more per month just to have wireless internet service for a 5 day camping trip!

    2. Your significant other walks in on you checking the position of your cervix, and actually gets turned on from it!

    3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate in order to "keep things alive" during those fertile times!

    4. You read, post, and then refresh to read again in case you missed a post while posting!

    5. You dream of being the first to post in the new thread!

    6. You feel like you are wasting urine when you don't pee on a stick!

    7. You see abbreviations in everyday life and try to work out what they mean in the TTC world (eg. DVD must stand for something like "Doing the vjay vjay dance"...)

    8. When you get excited about choosing a new ticker....oh the choices!!!!!

    9. You actually think in emoticons and abbreviations...and occasionally call your husband DH....and he says, "what the hell did you call me????".

    10. And the biggest one of all....DH actually asks if it was a light or dark "BFP" (not positive test) and whether or not you used "FMU" to test!!!! (all in abbreviations...)

    11. When getting a coverline makes you so happy, you feel as though you won the lottery!

    12. When you look forward to going to bed just so you can wake up in the morning and add a new temp!

    13. You say you are taking a break from bb and then spend 24 hours trying to do anything but log on, including cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, all the while saying to yourself don't do it don't do it don't do it before finally breaking down and getting your bb fix...

    14. You drag yourself out of bed at 6 am every morning even though you're still tired, just to have "quiet alone time" on BB while the kids are still sleeping!

    15. You get the butterflies while logging on to read posts!

    16. You keep your computer on all day long so you know as soon as someone has made a post!

    17. You know you are addicted to BB when you go to put the date on something and you end up writing 9 DPO! lol...

    18. You're whole day is ruined just because you can't log onto BB, and you feel like you're going to go insane without it!

    19. You climb a slide and drive up the tallest hills at your camp spot trying to find a signal so your laptop will work! lol...

    20. You bring your laptop to the drive-in with you so you can check on posts in between shows!

    21. You check your chart at least every half hour, because what if somehow it changed?

    22. You wake up at 2:30 in the morning to use the toilet, and contemplate logging on to see if there's any good news that can't wait until morning!

    23. You wake up at 3 a.m. and have to pee so bad, but you know you'll wake up at 6, so you hold it for three more hours so that you don't ruin your temp!

    24. You toss and turn every morning waiting for it to be time to take your temp!

    25. When DH comments that he's your family, not the girls on BB! (What does he know, anyway? lol...)

    26. You sign on from your mobile phone to let off some steam!

    27. You post 3 times in a row, and twice was just because you ran out of smilies!!!

    28. When you're reading and typing posts in your dreams!

    29. When sitting on the couch watching TV, you position yourself so that you can see the computer screen so you know as soon as a message pops up! Not only that, but you end up watching the computer screen more than the TV!

    30. You run to check posts during an ad break of a show you're watching, then an hour later you realize you missed the end of your show!

    31. When new smilies make you smilie!!

    32. When you stop a movie during the sex scene because it reminds you to check BB!

    33. When you burn your dinner because you're too busy checking your posts! D'oh!

    34. When you begin stalking people's charts and keeping up with their BD stats!

    35. When you've got more than one (3) fertility charts--just to make sure you really know what's going on with your cycle!

    36. When you feel jealous that your kids are on your computer taking up your BB time!!

    37. When class is about to start and you're quickly typing away at the back on the computer, hoping the kids don't see what you are typing!!

    38. When the chat room makes you feel like a kid in a candy store! *moo*, *meow*, *evil* lol...

    Yay - I'm finally on bb - glad to know I wasn't the only one with problems. I even had my DS1 try for me.

    Jen - so sorry that AB (AF) showed up. How dare she!!!! Everything looked so good for you. Maybe a cyber drink will help - Here I'll have one with you. That's the only one I can have until 6.30pm tonight when I finish work.
    I think I O'd last night/this morning by the pains I was having. Grabbed DH before he got out of bed, LOL. I guess (hope) my temp shows this in the next couple of days.

    Issy - 16 days straight - YUCK - can you get in to see your doctor earlier - maybe ring then and tell them that

    Jen - I am soooo angry with "bumfluffmonkey fatty fatty fat face"!!! I know you kept saying you didn't think that this was the month, but I was SO SURE! When I read that it was a BFN a large number of profanities ran through my head, and I NEVER swear! I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am
    On a brighter note... I finished the book! I really enjoyed it and thought the ending was good. I kinds saw it coming, but it was still good. After I finished DH started telling me I should read the one about midnight somethingorrather... Is that the other one you mentioned? Turns out he has read it before, but is hilarious because he never reads. Then he fessed up that he's read a Jackie Collins book too. Turns out his Ex didn't allow porn so it was the closest he oculd get!

    Angel - Where is our beautiful shining Angel (or was it our "dark angel"? Hehe)? Miss you sweet and I hope you are ok

    plc - Hi honey! Is bubba kicking lots yet?

    AJC - Hi to you too sweet! What about your bubs? Any kicks yet?

    Toccara
    - Sweetheart I am so sorry that you are feeling so down at the moment. TTCing is such a tough journey for some and at times it's hard to stay positive. If you need to be sad and cranky for a little while, then everyone else can just put up with it. At the end of the day you have to be true to your emotions and bottling them up will only make things worse. Just ride it out honey and hopefully soon you will see the light at the end of the tunnel, and that light will start shining on you and you'll feel more positive and happy. My thoughts are with you babe

    Jenushka - You are soooo close the the coveted 12 week mark!

    Chappas
    - Hope you managed to overcome you insomnia.

    Mollycat - I hope that temp increase today is the start of something big

    Issy - 16 days?! Have you told AF to pack her bags and move out? You ain't running no 5 star hotel that she can stay in as long as she feels! I say lock the door and change the keys while she is out by the pool!!!

    pbstar
    - Try not to do your head in analysing all the "symptoms". Hehe, easier said than done yeah?!

    Van - Sorry to hear that AF showed up for you a few days ago I hope your cycle is less confusing for you this month and that FF is nice to you!!!


    AFM - Well it turns out that mu vitamins didn't get rid of my ovulation pain, nor did I ovulate over night on the sat night. Not long after I posted I got in the car to drive to work (it's an hour drive on a sunday) and the ovulation pains hit me! All night I had shocking pain, it's probably the worst ovulation pain I can remember having. It even doubled me over at some points. And still, I actually welcomed it, lol! Poor DH was fast asleep when I got home after 1 in the morning, but he was a good little soldier and we gave it one more go! Sooooooooo, I'm 2DPO and beginning my cruise in the 2WW.

    Toccara - I rush my grieving after my first miscarriage and it was the worst thing I could have done. It hit me like a tonne of bricks 3 months later and I was an emotional mess. I think some quality time with your DH sounds like a wonderful idea.

    Krystielove - no not yet. Hopefully Ob will do a scan at my appointment on Mon so I can check up on her/him. I've just come to terms with the fact that I will never truly relax, I thought I would after 12 weeks but no such luck yet.

    Sounds like quite a few of you have recently O'd - good luck! ! !
