Have you made any changes to your lifestyle now that you are TTCing? I have almost completely cut out caffeine. I went from a pot of coffee a day to a cup of tea. Plus, I'm taking all kinds of vitamins/supplements, trying to drink more water, and trying to eat better. I also just started exercising which I needed to do anyway.
Have you ever used ttc abbreviations while talking to someone in person? If so, how did they react? Yes, when I talk to my best friend and I have to go back and correct myself because she has no clue what I'm saying. She gives me a funny look and tells me I'm nuts. I have another friend who I chat with every day on IM and I use them with her too, but she knows what they mean.
Have you ever tested at work? Yes, both OPK's & HPT's.
How long have you been trying to conceive? Not counting the almost year that I TTC with my ex-husband, I have been trying with my current BF for 5 months now.
How much testing willpower do you have? Not a lot...but I do wait until 10 DPO usually.

Have you made any changes to your lifestyle now that you are TTCing? Take vitamins, eat better, try to cut out caffeine. Truthfully though, the one cycle I got pregnant I was on vacation and not doing any of this.
Have you ever used ttc abbreviations while talking to someone in person? Only when my friend was ttc at the same time we would use them in texts.
Have you ever tested at work? No
How long have you been trying to conceive? This month will be 16 months. But it has been 4 months since my DH had varicocele surgery so he wants me to restart the timer  .
How much testing willpower do you have? I usually start testing at 8 dpo but that is just because I have a dollar store near my house and I feel like $5 a month on hpt isn't that bad  .
