Why you shouldn't POAS at 3am.

AppleRidge · August 2009

You shouldn't POAS at 3am because when it's a BFP there's no one to tell except the dog! And he just rolled his eyes and licked his crotch.

When I woke up at 3, I thought I might as well hit the stick since that was technically my FMU. Figured when I got the negative, I could just go back to bed and forget it happened. But then I got a faint line on an FRER and a positive digital. Only 10 DPO. Holy crap! I didn't want to wake my husband up until much later because he's been working really long days, but there was no chance I was going back to sleep. So after 3 loong hours, I woke him up and said "sorry to wake you up, but I need your help with something - can you tell me what this says?" Then I shoved the digital in his face.

Hints (I don't like the word 'symptoms'): Beautiful chart that looked nothing at all like my prior ones. Really strange cramps beginning at 6dpo. They were twingey, like ovulation pains, and radiated downward (my AF cramps are more of a dull ache). And sorry, but I have no other way to describe it, but ever since, I've felt like I just finished a sex marathon. Embarrassed Also insatiable hunger for the last two days. I hate to be that girl, but I was really "feeling pregnant."

Thank you so much, GP, for helping us get here. I would have been a total TTC idiot if not for you guys. I will be lurking regularly to make sure I can congratulate each and every one of you on your BFPs!

By the way, I am now a firm advocate of B6 and pom juice. I don't think it's a coincidence that after several barely 9-day LPs, I got KU on the cycle I was using both.

(sorry so long)
