@springbrook Yeah, it is bittersweet. Makes waking up to reality a little harder!

@fasthello I wish I could say good morning, however it's difficult to say 'good morning' when the current weather here is -20C (-4F) and it is only supposed to get colder throughout the week. I did have a good weekend though and managed to get some Christmas presents wrapped.
AF is due to strike later this week (Thursday/Friday) so today on my lunch hour I will be buying a pack of pregnancy tests so that I can test Thursday morning
I'm so thankful for this community as none of my friends have TTC, or even have babies on their mind (they are all still in the clubbing and bar phase) so I love having the support on here and being able to read other people's advice and experiences. It makes me feel less alone in this process.

@soconfused02 Hi! I'm part of the newbies, I just found this subreddit today and DH and I will be TTC starting in February 2017! I hope you'll get some good news with those tests, and if not, hang in there! I'll be cheering.
I'll be cheering.soconfused02

@prettywoman Thank you! I will probably post here as soon as I find out out of sheer excitement haha. I'm trying to convince myself to wait until Thursday morning to test rather than testing too early and potentially setting myself up for a disappointment with a false negative.

@soconfused02 Yeah, yeah, patience. How long will that take? Good luck! Being patient is the worse, I can't do it most of the time.

@soconfused02 Sounds like you're in my neck of the woods to a degree. -17C before the windchill right now for me. Whereabouts are you?

@soconfused02 Is the snow blowing everywhere and making it hard to see there too? I was reading the south of the province is supposed to get walloped this week and my MLA was saying the drive had been not great last night when I interviewed him this morning.

@randomuser1 It has stopped snowing for the time being but yesterday evening between 5-8pm it was essentially a whiteout. Several neighborhoods lost power for 3+ hours too.

@soconfused02 I feel like you must also be from Alberta? I hate this weather.
Edited to add: I look further down the post and we are in the same city!

@uoftgospelchoir I love Edmonton in the summer but this weather makes me want to hibernate

@soconfused02 I feel the same way. I'm not working right now either, so I pretty much do just that.
@fasthello CD 17, hoping to ovulate in the next couple days. Pretty confident I will, but you never know. Hoping to BD every day until my temp spike plus a day but I get home late tonight and tomorrow night, probably after 4 massages each day so I'll be tired.
So far DH likes SMEP. I think he likes it because I haven't told him that's what we're doing. In all fairness he doesn't ever want to know when I'm fertile because he's worried about anxiety which is fair.
Here's hoping this is our month - I want to give him a BFP as a "gift".

@fasthello Went to my husband's work Christmas party on Saturday and drank more than I planned.
Literally walked in to the room and before I had my coat off, one of the middle aged ladies was asking if I'm pregnant yet. When told no, she then proceeded to berate me, ask what I was waiting for and tell me to hurry up, and offer to show me how a child is conceived.
I've been kind of sensitive about the baby thing the last little bit because a friend of mine from school is expecting her first and we're in to baptism season at church so there's babies being baptized at every mass right now.
I want one.
