My name is Peach Blossom and I'm a poas-aholic

[Odd Socks]

haha. i finished my tests the other day, so i don't need to hide them under the sink now.
xx

I actually only keep half my stash under the sink. I keep the other half at work for when I need to POAS (opk) in the middle of the day.

So I don't know how much experience you all have with actually being pregnant...but do you know what cm is supposed to be like after implantation? If the tiny spotting and cramp I had the other day was implantation, then the 3 days following it i have had so much watery cm it feels like I peed myself. I keep running to the restroom thinking I'm gonna see the again but its just tons of "water" I've been googling it and theres like a million different answers out there...I guess there is no "normal" except cm around o...but I just can't believe how much there is. Didn't know if you guys have ever had this before...?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hey ladies. Sorry about the s... I think poas everyday til you get a is definitely the answer!!!

Sorry the Dr was useless Sbiermann... I always find lying to the Dr is a good idea! That way I get tests and scans I wouldn't normally get!

So I've been having a very wierd sensation in my lower left abdomen... Its hard to describe... its like a dull sharp pain that feels like a ripple... almost like someone is running up and down inside... Wierd I know! I'm hoping that its a post O thing... who knows!

Can't help with the cm question Sbiermann I'm afraid... When I was pg I don't think I had any cm... just spotting from 7dpo. Sorry you're going through such a confusing time hon.

Sorry to hear about the bfn sbiermann. Although I like the way Peach Blossom thinks with poas till you get the answer you want

I hide my stash in the drawer of my bedside table. We have a tiny bathroom, and stuff like soap and toilet paper takes up most of the room there. Plus, there's really no reason for the hubby to take a peek in my night stand

Question though. Not something I would usually ask of strangers... lol This week started with the NASTY taste in my mouth, mean headaches, and cramping. Yesterday and today I noticed the very tips of my nipples are constantly erect. No, I don't usually blurt out this information lol Won't say if they're tender or not, since my brain could completely be making that up, but the look(and feel) quite different from normal. I don't have the painful bb's people complain about, and I am VERY sorry to say they haven't swollen to bigger and better proportions lol Just the nipple area. Anyone else had anything similar?

Waiting for the hpts I ordered on line. Ordered 20 for $16. That should keep me going for a while.... must resist urge to buy others in the meantime. Cheapest I found at the local drug store was 2 for $12!!!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Ooo... eeyore... sounds very promising! I've not experienced the nipple thing, but it could very well be a positive sign! Hope those IC's arrive soon! Keep us up dated.

 

[eeyore83]

Sorry, there's just something about opening up to status of my nipples for everyone on the www to know that I'm finding hilarious right now.

 

[sbiermann]

Peachblossom...weird abdomen feelings always excited me. I don't know anything about it to be honest...but anything down there besides cramps can't be a bad thing right?

Eeyore...that sounds great! No need to feel weird around here...I probably make people throw up with the stuff I post sometimes but hey, where else can you say stuff like that and people are genuinely interested??! lol!

TTC women really are crazy. Think about it...it's like yay...my boobs hurt and I'm nauseous! What a great day! haha

 

[eeyore83]

sbiermann, I never actually thought of how crazy that sounds to other people until you said it. Here I had woke up this morning thinking "Where's the funny taste in my mouth?? Why am I feeling okay??????" And then I got all happy when the cramps came back and my boobs felt funny.

The really funny part is when you realize that if you ARE pregnant with these symptoms, you'll be complaining about sore boobs, nausea, and headaches in a few weeks time.

 

[Seity]

I've never been pregnant, so I really have no clue about any of that. Never had PG symptoms either. I have had just my nipples be very sensitive though. Started from OV day till AF arrived one cycle. It was very odd.

 

[sbiermann]

Sorry that I post on here about 1000 times a day...but dh is working a lot right now which means I'm left at home to obsess uninterrupted...

So feel free to ignore me if you are sick of hearing all the ins and outs of my reproductive system

After I posted my cm question a bit ago, I went pee and my cm is brown again. Really light brown, like its mostly all creamy cm, but brown none the less. I tried not to be like "omg what does this mean.." and went back to life for a bit but kept checking myself everytime I felt like wet my pants and it was just clear watery cm again...kinda lotiony but clear. Then I just peed again and it was light brown again. Apparently this only happens when I pee/wipe.

So I'm praying it doesn't mean is coming, but its the same type of brown cm I had a few days ago that I thought was implantation, minus the tiny little streaks of red I had then. A few days ago it was to the point that after dh and I would bd...he said "your stuff looks weird, like its tan and mauve" (lol @ mauve, he's too cute).

Anyway, sorry to keep going on about this, but its not like I have anyone else to vent to about it

 

[eeyore83]

Never be afraid to vent, sbiermann We all have our days!It's just refreshing to know I'm not alone in my ttc insanity

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hmmm... Sbiermann I'm not sure what to suggest... When I was pg I had varying degrees of spotting from 7dpo. But having said that I get a simlar thing on a non pg cycle too... Sorry, not being much help am I? I say the best thing to do is keep poas until arrives or you get !

 

[sbiermann]

Thanks guys. Things are back to "normal" down there. I poas this morning and I think there was the faintest of a faintest of a faint faint line. So barely there that I was not going to let it get me even the least bit hopeful...and I was definitely not going to say anything. But yeah right like I could stick to that. Prob just get my hopes up when I get another tomorrow...speaking of, I'm out of tests! Maybe I can keep myself from running to the store unless is late (5 more days!), yeah, right!

 

[sbiermann]

And just because it makes me laugh, my dh woke me up this morning and before he said anything else he goes "so are we having a boy or a girl?" I'm frantically wracking my brain and trying to wake up and figure out what I've missed or am forgetting and just blurted out "WHAT?!" and he starts cracking up and says I started shaking him in my sleep last night saying "YaY! I'm Pregnant! Yay!" and going on and on, apparently even telling him what pee sticks I think are the best wow. Don't remember it at all, though I did have a very vivid dream in which the exact same conversation took place followed by like a big party and all kinds of stuff. I swear my dreams are getting so crazy that I'm more tired when I wake up So he's now nicknamed me "pregs" for the day...kind of cruel lol.

 

[Seity]

Yikes, I sure hope I don't do anything like that to my OH.
I did have a dream the other night that I had just given birth to a baby girl and had to go back to work the next day because a storm had fried a bunch of the computers.

 

[sbiermann]

Lol the power of the subconscious mind. As if we don't obsess enough during the day, now we do it in our sleep too I went out about bought 7 more hpts at the dollar store. Been holding off on going to the bathroom and haven't drank much today. Going to test again in about an hour...maybe a bit longer but its already getting tough to hold it. Expecting a but no harm in poas when they are only $1. I figure poas once or twice a day will get me through til comes, or doesn't come, if I have 7 of them. Maybe I'll need a few more

I like the way you think!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Sbiermann you crack me up! Good luck with the tests!

 

[sbiermann]

Hey guys...so I didn't get to test today. Right as I was about to wet myself from holding it so long my mil knocked on the door. great. but I really don't know what to think about this...I'm getting so frustrated. I started spotting again today. One time I wiped and it was brownish cm again, followed the rest of the day by the super wet clear stuff. Then I just peed again and when I wiped I had like red and brown mixed in with my cm. Now every time I feel wet down there I about have a heart attack thinking its but its not, it just keeps being a ton of CLEAR cm. My bbs have been gradually increasing in their soreness over the past few days, like so much that I expect them to hurt really bad if I touch them so I try to avoid it. Once in a while I get up the courage to touch them and see what it feels like, and it doesn't hurt AT ALL to touch them. They only hurt when I'm not touching them. Super weird. Also the past week on and off I've had diarrhea with super cramps...like once every other night. I always think the cramps are af, but it comes on right before I have to run to the bathroom and then goes away as soon as I...finish. Other than that, I just keep feeling really elated during the day like I know everything is going to turn out really great, but in the mornings and evenings I feel like I'm stupid for even considering that I could be pg. I'm also really grossed out by alcohol, and I used to have a few beers or glasses of wine every evening, til about 2 weeks ago. We even went to a little party last weekend and I just couldn't bring myself to drink. I just sipped water all night. That was the first night of the spotting. I'm probably going to look like an idiot in a few days when the shows. Thanks for reading my rant...I'll be amazed if anyone gets this far.
