You know you're TTC when......

This morning I told someone that I knew for a fact today's date is the 10th. wrong. its the 9th. I'm 10dpo which is SO NOT THE SAME THING!

So ya, your know you've got TTC on the brain when you don't know the real date but always know what cycle day and dpo you are on.

Or also you know you're TTC when your number 1 consideration when planning a trip is whether or not you should be ovulating then.

I know you've got some more good ones so lets hear 'em.

You have a thermometer in your purse! I was traveling for work this week and had my trusty thermometer in the inside pocked. Security was probably wondering why I was carrying that.

You squeeze your breasts 100x a day to see if they feel extra "tender"- ooh, an early sign of pregnancy!

For me, it worrying about my DH's work schedule and my work schedule during my FW...sometimes we on complete opposite shifts, and I try to figure out just how much sleep I can get away with to make sure we get in some sex during my FW!

You've switched to decaf coffee, but can't complain to anyone about how tired you are, bc they will want to know why you switched and well I'm not a good liar.

This. I travel for work and am now planning trips around my FW and little else.

Also, when you know you're out and you can't wait for AF to show up so you can start HIO again.

You know you're TTC when...you can recite the different kinds of CM in your sleep and/or have ever dreamt about your mucus.

Cara1024:

This morning I told someone that I knew for a fact today's date is the 10th. wrong. its the 9th. I'm 10dpo which is SO NOT THE SAME THING!

I can so relate to this one too, I saw a post date as Nov. 9, and thought it was completely wrong, I'm CD6 and have that date on the brain.  And next week starting with a holiday on Monday (Remembrance Day here in Canada) will mess me up even more, starting my work week on a Tuesday always does. I'll just hang onto my CD thank you very much! :)

I'll go with the obvious of dreaming you are pregnant.
Or there is also peeing in a cup every morning.

...when you don't even dream about a + test anymore, you dream about a shiny new super high tech thermometer. 

I did this a few weeks ago.  It's was an awesome thermometer that uploaded my temps to FF and tracked my calories and weight and all kinds of stuff.  It was the ipad of thermometers.  Ahhhh..... fun dream.

I have to catch myself and not speak in "message board speak" at the RE.  Of course they have probably heard it before, but telling the doctor we BD'd, or that FF says I Od sounds silly to me.

I work at a dog boarding facility.  I ran back to get a dog who was going home.  Dad had a baby, probably 7-8 months I'd assume.  Well she SQUEED with excitement when her dog came up.  She was smiling from ear to ear and dad kept going "there's your dog baby girl!"  I got all teary eyed and was just hoping dad didn't see it.

My gorgeous girl in the snow.

Squeezing the boobs!  LOL...so true.

I know I am TTC because I usually read maybe 1 bestseller book a month.  Now I can read a book about fertility in 2 days.   I mean business!
