Pregnant after a Loss

Anyone else...

Still POAS and "Groping yourself" to make sure your boobs are still tender (if they ever were)??? Embarrassed I'm a wee bit obsessive over it and I know it's a little crazy but I continue just to make sure nothing has changed!! I really hope after my appt. that I will be able to relax a little Big Smile

Hope everyone else is having a great day!!

Re: Anyone else...

  • I ran out of sticks a long while ago (thank goodness), but I still grope my boobs. I once made the mistake of telling DH it made me feel better to know they still hurt, so now he grabs and pokes them and when I protest he says "See? Now you must feel GREAT!"

  • My breasts stopped being super tender over the last couple weeks, but they are still heavier/larger than they were before...and still slightly tender.  My nipples are gigantic and turning purple!!  My nausea is gone and is replaced with constant hunger and awful headaches.  Still extremely fatigued and peeing ALL.THE.TIME.  Haven't POAS since June...but I did POAS two or three times after my first BFP. :)

  • I haven't poas since the original 14 I did when I first found out Embarrassed

    A week ago I did use an OPK and I was amazed how after 2 seconds the bright dark positive line appeared and then a few minutes later the control line arrived!!

    I don't have to feel my boobs, I can feel how tender they are without touching them, when my shirts and bras touch them!  Owie!!  DH also knows if he tries to touch them right now he'll get a throat punch!  Off limits!

    I don't pee on a stick, 18 weeks in, but I do grope myself when I feel like my (.)(.) aren't as sore! Most definitely.

  • My boobies don't hurt this time.  I haven't peed on a stick since by BFP (only 2).  I am OCD about checking my undies for AF and inspecting the TP after wiping.

  • I am constantly feeling my boobs. I probably look strange to people walking by my office who might have noticed... :) I also check the TP obsessively every time I pee.
  • I don't have  boobs (mastectomy patient), so I don't have that particular symptom.  I do still check the TP every time I go to the bathroom.

  • I did the whole ovulation kit POAS a few weeks ago out of curiosity but other than that I have not since the 2 original ones in April.I do however bump my girls at least once a day to make sure they are still tender, check my undies every time I use the restroom, and check the TP every time I wipe.

  • I still grope myself and then my DH will grope me and when he says he feels like he is cheating on me with another woman with larger breasts (because I was on the smaller size) I know my boobs are still huge.  Plus lately they are so freakin sore.

  • I haven't POAS since the week of my BFP...however I grope myself daily...sometimes multiple times a day.  
  • Well.. . I POAS 4 days in a row when I got my first BFP, today was the first day I didn't, but I know I'll probably do another 1 or 2 in the next couple week.  Embarrassed 

    I have been feeling my bewbs, they are fuller but not tender yet (last time they were tender 3days before AF) so the checking will continue :)

  • So glad to see that I'm not the only one, I notice some of my co-workers looking at me a little strange if I try checking for boob tenderness but I do try to keep it on the DL...LoL. I kind of nudge with my upper arm to be a little more discrete, haha. I didn't even think about the "checking TP and underwear with a magnifying glass" but I def. do that too. I have religiously POAS everyday since BFP and the first couple days twice a day, but I'm def. starting to feel a little more at ease about it now, thank goodness I had a ton of the cheap ones!!

    Hope everyone is having a great night...I'm just chillin' here at work, Only 4 1/2 hrs to go :)

  • My boobs hurt all the time almost so I don't have to check. I check every time I wipe. I won't POAS cuz that can be positive for a long time after baby is gone.
