Before I start going on and on about the topic I need to tell you all a story about a lunch I had last week. I went out with a friend from grad school who is the new mom to an eight month old adorable little girl. She doesn’t know we are TTC, but she is very environmentally-centered so I wanted to hear her talk about her experience with a doula, daycares, options in this area. So we get to talking when she drops this bomb…. she got her daughter on a daycare waiting list when she was 6 weeks pregnant!!! Ok – thats insane. I mean this is not a crazy preppy mom – this is an earth-loving, organic diaper, makes her own baby food type of person. Evidently daycare is extremely limited in this area. She was on 6 waiting lists and got into only two – in the course of her pregnancy and her daughter’s birth. – okay on to the real post.
I hate this part of the TWW. I start getting a little crazy. I mean to a certain extent we all do right?? I also hate doing this post. I really truly don’t need to play into my craziness, but if i can’t talk about it here where can I? I do have to say that I feel so much crazier writing it down. I feel so hopeful this month, but if it doesn’t work I want to erase this post so I don’t look silly.
The past few days have been ripe with superstitious signs and bodily signs. Here’s my crazy list:
- Our due date would be our wedding anniversary… says ferti.lity friend.
- A. started her period. She has very irregular periods, like 3-4 a year – but hadn’t had one since we starting TTC.
- I couldn’t drink coffee two mornings in a row because it tasted awful. (i know i shouldn’t – but i’m down from a ton of coffee to one cup a day)
TMI ALERT…. and i’m serious. I won’t say anything else too interesting for the rest of the blog if you care to just skip it.
- fluttery tummy
- My who-ha has a different smell… I don’t know how to describe it. It isn’t bad, just foreign.
- moody
- weepy
- my pee is a different color – bright bright neon yellow
- i’m starving
There are more but I can’t stand to list them out.

Nice list!! I don’t think you’re crazy. Either that, or I’m just trying to make myself feel not-so-crazy. Just kidding! I think this is normal. It’s the freakin’ TWW – what else can we do but obsess??
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get fluttery tummy.
Neon pee and slightly different smell in urine I get from eating asparagas OR other good veggies. Tis a good thing. VITAMINS !
I never get a headache BUT have one now and seemed to developed an adversion to full blown coffee and metalic taste is back in my mouth.
I swear if I wasn’t on cycle day 9 and still not ovulated I might entertain the idea of being pregnant
