If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while, it’s going to start to show. Everything you do seems to center around figuring out when to try to conceive, and then checking on the results. It can become truly obsessive for some women, especially if they’ve been at it for a long time.

So, today, we’d like to offer you a tongue-in-cheek look at your own situation. Here are the top 10 signs you’re trying to get pregnant:

1. You carry a cervical mucus chart, basal body thermometer and a lucky rabbit’s foot in your purse.
2. Your partner is only allowed to go out of town on business trips during your period.
3. You have already picked out 14 baby names – of each gender.
4. You yell “yee-haw” if you feel queasy before breakfast (only applies if you live in Texas.)
5. You regularly use phrases like “TTC,” “baby dance” and even “LH surge.”
6. You wake up in the morning with your pelvis elevated – and you didn’t even try to conceive last night.
7. You find yourself craving cravings.
8. You know way more about sperm than you ever wanted to know.
9. Every time you close your eyes, you see a shadowy image of your ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus.
10. You spend all of your time reading the Baby Hopes Blog!
