Hope Addict

I don't even believe my FF ovulation date (CD 10), but if I did, I am 12DPO today. So, you know, not even late.

Plus, have I mentioned that the swimmers don't swim?

Now, ask me why I tested this morning. Go on.

I'm an idiot, but I want to be an urban legend. I hope to be pregnant and just can't abandon that.

Oh my word... that article cracked me right up. I won't ask why you tested because I do the same thing... every time...

Hope is just in our nature...

I always told my husband that if I didn't have hope then I didn't have anything...so I had to hope...there was no other choice!

I am hoping for you as well :)

Every. Single. Cycle... for 4+ years, I've had some small bit of hope. Insanity, yes :-) We're with ya girl. (Tippy)

Hope is a 4 letter word, but I think it is the only thing that keeps us moving forward and not hiding in the corners crying.

If it makes you feel better and less crazy, I almost always think that maybe I'm one of those women that have their periods even though they are pregnant and have often taken a test "just to make sure".

The article is hilarious, thanks for posting!

If you are an idiot, so am I. I continue hoping every month for the past 4.5 years.

So sorry for your recent miscarriage. Hope can be a very addictive thing. It's a very powerful 4 letter word. But it's not such a horrible addiction...in fact, it's what keeps us going. I just found you and I added your link and following now. Hugs!

Me too! Can't help but hope.

please believe that if i had ANY tubes at ALL i would test every month!! The only reason I don't do it anyway is because i don't want anyone to buy me one of those cool white jackets with all the straps and buckles. LOL! (((big hug)))

HOPE is a nasty, four letter word. And yet it is the only thing that gets us through some days.

Love that article. Thanks for sharing.

Happy ICLW :)

Even though I have to take birth control between medicated cycles I still can't help a bit of hope creep in. Ridiculous.

BTW I loved your card ideas on my blog, we should go into production!
