Does anyone else... (confession time)

[SmileyKez]

.... Prod, poke and wobble their boobs and twist their nipples everytime they take their bra off for hopefully signs they are painful?
I don't even know why I do this, I get sore boobs lots and only once did it mean a bfp!
TTC really does make you do crazy things! And more crazy ttc things to share girls.... Now is the time to confess!

 

[WinterSong4]

hahahah this is going to be a funny thread. First off..sorry of your loss almost a year ago

I do confess that I poke, prod, wiggle and jiggle my boobs in hopes I feel a bit of soreness . In general, I do this anyways when the bra comes off because it feels good to let the girls out for air!

 

[laurenann184]

I totally do hahah! I also inspect every piece of TP, and squint so hard at bfn that I may go blind.

 

[SmileyKez]

Haha I forgot about the TP! I do that too! Every piece is scrutinised during the 2ww, even though I didn't have implantation blood when I got my bfp!

 

[missymoon]

Ha ha I do both of these!!

[blueeyedgirl1]

Yup, always give the girls a good poke (and have poked so hard I've made them sore...which then made me think I was indeed pregnant...when all I really was, was abused...by myself...*sigh*). And every bit of TP gets squinted at in the TWW as I did have implantation bleed when I got pregnant. And I'm convinced, as I'm a very spotty person, that I'll always have implantation spotting anytime I get pregnant.

But that also makes me depressed every time I go to the loo as there's never any spotting there...*sigh*

 

[blueeyedgirl1]

I should probably also add that I check my cervix...and then poke it by accident and make it bleed a little...and then convince myself that the resulting blood is implantation bleeding.

I need to SERIOUSLY relax & let go a little.

 

[MariaF]

Oh yessss

Im glad Im not the only "weirdo"

My boobs also get heavier after ovulation and I always get hubby to "weigh" them to see if he thinks they got heavier

And then there's cervix poking every hour and staring at HPTs under so many angles, my head starts spinning. And moving my tongue around my mouth trying to see if I have any strange/metallic taste in my mouth.

So, yes, Im part of the obsessed TTCers club

 

[jeoestreich]

Yep. I do all these.

 

[SweetJennie]

Omg yes!! I'm always grabbing my boobs to see if they are sore but funny thing is when I got pregnant they didn't get sore until about half a week to a week after my missed period.

I also squint and pick apart preg test.

I check my cervix and TP over and over and over.

I stop every time I get a twinge in my stomach because I'm almost afraid to move because I keep convincing myself its a baby trying to implant and I don't want to shake it lose.

I refuse to BD after O for same above reason.

At the start of every AF I calculate up what my due date would be if I were to get pregnant that month.

There are more but this list is prolly enough! lol

 

[WinterSong4]

Hahahah we are a mess!!!

 

[Armywife84]

I squeeze my nipples to see if I'm producing milk.

 

[wonderstars]

There's also the omg I don't remember having those veins on my left boob!

I never realized how crazy ttc can be!

There are so many other things too!

My husband has once caught me stretching my CM between my fingers ... But little does he know that is a frequent occurrence. The number of times I've done that and thought Hmmm...is that creamy on 6dpo?! Omg I might be pregnant!

 

[blueeyedgirl1]

My OH's caught me scrutinising the crotch of my knickers before, trying to judge if my discharge looked slightly pink.

D'oh!

 

[manduh726]

Every time I feel like I am getting a cold I am like am I pregnant?
Smashing of the boobs to see if they hurt.
I make myself blind over tests.

Maybe I should start squeezing nipples to see if anything comes out!

I am so glad I am not alone.

 

[MariaF]

Just a word of caution, ladies checking for milk. If, when you squeeze, liquid does come out it may be worth mentioning it to the FS and having your prolactin checked.

I had this happen to me and my GP told me to stopp squeezing and checking immediately as it would only make it worse. And I also had to have to have prolactin checked

I actually did have some nipple discharge come out. Honestly, haven't done it months. It could be a sign of pregnancy but it could also be a non-canerous tumor on your pituitary gland..What was your case?

 

[BobDog]

i do all of the above... scrutinize every little thing, but i have noticed that since starting ttc, my boobs have gone up a cup size... no joke either! had to invest in a new bra "wardrobe"... LOL!

i've also noticed that the little lumpy bumpy things round the nipples are (TMI) larger and when squeezed produce white stuff. weird...

 

[blueeyedgirl1]

I've tried really hard not to get down the boob-squeezing to see if milk comes out, but I have to admit I tried it this cycle. Just for "laughs". Having read the above, I'll now stop doing that completely!!!

I've lost weight since the MMC so any gain in weight (esp boobs) is scrutinised. And I think I could pick my boobs out of a lineup of 250 boobs, hands down. Probably even 1000.

:facepalm:

 

[fisher640]

In addition to repeatedly mashing my boobs and checking for any exception in my routine CM I obsess over my temperature chart - as in this dip is a good sign here and ooo look I went up 2 tenths of a degree over night and ooo that temp is really high - this MUST be it.

*sigh*

I'm pretty sure ive had every possible combination of symptoms over the last couple years which has succeeded in teaching me only that symptoms don't mean a darned thing. BUT I can't STOP myself, every month!!!
