It’s 12 DPO today, and I’m still going…temp is back up to 98.45 today–granted, I didn’t take my morning BBT, but I still felt good seeing those high numbers this evening, as I never get above 97.6 pre ovulation, even during the day. I didn’t temp this morning out of fear, but I feel like the higher numbers during the day are still a good indicator that I’m making some progesterone.
Ok. So. I have been loathe to mention too many symptoms seeing that I take disappointment REALLY badly, and don’t want to set myself up for a major fall, but this morning, I woke up to slight crampy feelings (Again). I thought for sure my period would start as soon as I used the bathroom. As I stood up from bed, I felt this rush of liquid coming out of me (yes, TMI, TMI, blah blah blah) and instinctively said “fuck, here it is.” and cupped my hand under my vajayjay. When I removed my hand expecting to find a pool of blood (again, I love this TMI), all there was was a clear watery fluid, as if I was ovulating. WTF???
Late this afternoon, I had these ridiculous uterine cramps, as if my period was gearing up to start any minute. I NEVER get cramps this badly unless my period is about to start. I also had what felt like ovulation pains on the same side that I ovulated this month…just for a minute or two on my right side. Later on, I had to bail on a meeting so I could run upstairs to my hotel room and have explosive diarrhea in the privacy of my own bathroom. This sort of cramping/mud butt is ALWAYS followed by a bleed when I go to the bathroom, and yet, when I wiped…nada.
This susupense is killing me, yo!
Tomorrow is the kicker. If I do not get a period tomorrow morning, I’m going to seriously start to wonder.
AHHHH!!! This suspense is worse than any Hollywood thriller! Thinking non-period thoughts for you, from across the ocean…
Thank you m’dear!!
Super exciting! I was super crampy for days starting at 10 DPO with my first pregnancy. Good signs!
ohmygosh, I really don’t wanna get your hopes up but I had a similar “gush” experience the day I got my BFP. GOOD LUCK!
Argh!!!! This is definitely a hopeful sign. I’m driving myself crazy. I keep waiting for AF to show, and keep getting surprised when she doesn’t.
It allll sounds very, very positive!
Pee, woman, pee!
I have come to a conclusion based on this first 2ww: I am terrified of pee sticks. I pretty much have the same reaction to them as I do towards mail I know is a medical bill. I sit and stare at the unopened envelope and stress. More on that in a separate post.
oooooweeee! hoping all of these are good signs!!!
Stay away AF!!
Yes! Your newly pregnant mojo has been uploaded into my ute.
did you test?!?!
Oh my goodness! I remember having EWCM when I found out I was pregnant with the triplets. Good luck, I don’t know HOW you are managing to not take a test, but I applaud you!
EWCM and cramping can be good signs! I can’t believe you haven’t caved and tested yet! Fingers crossed!
I know, right? I’m slightly psychotic 🙂
OMG! I can’t believe you didn’t immediately pee! Ahh!!!
Wow, I would have peed on EVERYTHING by now! Eeek!
