...create yourself a pregnancy ticker just to see how far along you'd be if you are pregnant?
I'm not even TTC, but...

Not tickers no. I do use due date calculators every single cycle to see when I would be due though.

Yeah, I do that with the due date calculators too, only lately I've had to do it when my body gets around to Oing, not when I get AF. If I went from my last period, I'd be due March 6 and would be 4 weeks and 1 day instead of a possible due date of March 13 and 3 weeks and 1 day. I know Oing one week late isn't all that bad in the scheme of things, but I used to have perfect 28 day cycles. *sigh*

All I do is follow how far along I should've been if I wouldn't have lost my baby and this is where I should be...

I do that too. My most recent loss:
I have a journal that is completely private. I am the only one who can even view it and it is just tickers.... pregnancy tickers.... birthday tickers.... all that. It breaks my heart.

I don't make tickers, but I do use a due date calculator every cycle (and I also have to do it from O date because my cycle is so screwy).
I also never had the heart to cancel my weekly pregnancy update emails after my loss. Here is my latest:
Your 2-month-old: Week 4
Your baby is becoming very handy. Although she's already aware of her hands, she's now inspecting them like Sherlock Holmes. She turns them around, the better to look at her fingers from all sides. She opens and shuts her fists, watching each finger as it moves up and down. To help your baby develop her blossoming hand-eye coordination, try dangling a toy just out of reach so she has to grab for it.

I don't know, at least people don't think I'm crazy that I have a ticker for Cora. That one of the "benefits" of a later loss I guess.

My FF has the pregnancy tracker on it and I check it every so often (about once a week or so I can't help it) for my most recent loss

So unfair that we have to look at tickers for where we should've been instead of where we are... HUGS everyone..

Ditto to tracking the loss *sigh* 12 weeks today. I often check to see what is going on with the girls in my DDC. I don't go over there with a heavy heart but I do like to see where they are and what they are worried/excited about.

Not a ticker, but an app on my itouch is a pregnancy calculator.
If I were still pregnant when I had my ectopic i'd be 14 weeks. Even before then I used to do it if my period was a day late. I get disappointed, and I know I should probably stop, but I just can't seem to.

I don't think you can help but be disappointed, especially after a loss. 
btw, my Erin thinks your bfp or bust blinkie is hilarious. She loves the car.
