What does fertile urine taste like?

Forget the Pee! What does fertile CM taste like?

Do you mean the clear period? I believe that is bitter at first, with a sweet finish at the back of the palate.

notquiteblushing · June 2012

I am really sorry. I don't think this is MUD. I've been down the rabbit hole a few times myself. Please find someone to talk to about your obsession. Saving pee at your desk is not normal. I think you know that but it took this incident to really make you see just how bad this problem has become. I can really relate actually. I bump at work but luckily I haven't let it get in the way of my assignments. I hope you find another job quickly.

You need a therapist, for real. 2 temping accounts, using OPKs, IC HPTs, and FRERs on a regular basis (OPKs with EVERY pee and you save it) - this is not healthy.

Don't forget - at the end of the night, she compares ALL of the OPKs from the day and retests the urine with the darkest line, using a digi.

OP - I think you might need to take a step back. It really does sound a bit compulsive, with all your urine storing. This isn't normal. I also recommend a therapist. And I'm not trying to be snarky - I just worry that if you're THIS obsessively compulsive about TRYING to get pregnant... what is going to happen when you are actually pregnant.

It actually makes me feel good to dip things into my pee. I get some kind of rush out of it-it is hard to explain. I have had to sometimes stop myself from tasting it (I am so embarassed that I am admitting this).I know that this is not normal. I do not know what to do. I feel like I can't stop. I am not obsessive about other things in my life.

Would any therapist help? I do not want to stop TTC and I am afraid that they might want me to not have a baby right now.

Would you PM me links to your FF charts? or screen shot? I'm actually curious how they differ in patterns, if any?

kellyrn9956 · June 2012

After seeing many episodes of My Strange Addiction, I have to say that I am not 100% convinced that this is MUD.

People eat their husband's ashes, chow down on their couch cushions, and fluck their cars. So a little urine saving and tasting...eh, I'm not that impressed.

For a minute there I thought you all have lost your marbles by believing this.

OP, I highly recommend ordering the bladder since you have a pee obsession. "Urine for a treat" https://iheartguts.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=3

Why would you bump on your work computer?

I do this and there's no problem because my job comes first. I work hard and make sure that I am a great employee. I would never type anything that I wouldn't want the IT people or my boss to read and we are allowed to use the internet.

EDIT I posted before reading the rest. Ok, the above stands and had the poster been real the below would have been my answer.

I think that if this is real then OP has a problem and maybe needs to take a break and see a doctor. Why are you storing pee?

This has probably been addressed, but how would saving your peer help TTC? You need help, I think.

Wait...did you just say you sometimes want to taste your pee? I'm hoping you meant "test".

Nope, she's working hard for her AE Dollar...she said taste. That was the moment we all knew...

Compulsion to drink urine or people drinking urine is not unheard of. There are dozens of links on it if you do a quick Google search. There has even been research done on it to see if there are any health benefits.

Yep, I remember the story about the woman who flushed out her eyes with it or something...no words.

Still think it's MUD.

I'm sorry you lost your job but I really do think you have a problem. Your obsession only 3 months in is not healthy. Please take this opportunity to seek some professional help. I wish you all the best.

ETA After further reading I think this may be MUD, but I've seen one too many episodes of My Strange Addiction, so now my MUD Meter is off. (And for those wondering how many episodes is too many, the answer is one)

Mash67 · June 2012

If this isnt a MUD... why dont you test when you pee? Whats the point of saving your pee other than using a digi later? By the time you add up all the costs of your strips it would probbly be the same price to buy all digital. Btw how much does your obsession cost you? Since you dont have Job... I would find some help and a cheaper obsession.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, so congrats on that. The second step is to quit saving your piss. Good luck finding a new job, have you given any thought to what you will tell any future employers as to why you were let go from your most recent job? Can we say awkward?

I do not plan on telling them about why I was let go. I am paranoid that I will miss my LH surge or a +hpt if I do not check and double check.

I always thought I might be going overboard but I get sick thinking about letting good pee go to waste and not testing it.
Ok, this has got to be fake...right??
Totally. 100% fake.

Thank you...I was starting to worry with how many replies seemed like genuine advice. I'm not always the best at spotting MUD but I thought this one seemed over the top obvious.

If you miss a +HPT will you no longer be pregnant?

You have to "sometimes" stop yourself from tasting your urine????? Besides being concerned for you that TTC is a scary obsession for you the tasting of your urine is way over the top.

I have definitely had my moments of TTC taking over my thinking but honey you need help!

As a boss if I found out that one of my employees was doing what you are doing I would have to let them go also.

I wish you all the best in getting this under control. And please please do not taste your urine!! (that is just nuts!)

Is it necessary to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Hi GM!

Mrs. Mo · June 2012

Wait, you kept the urine in your desk drawer? Don't 'cha know that you need to keep stored urine cold? You should have been using the office refrigerator.

TTCAE · June 2012

Let me clear a few things up. I have NEVER actually tasted my urine. I have URGES to taste it but I have NEVER brought it to my lips. I have no idea why I feel the want to drink my own pee. I do get a bit of a high when I test it and dip things in it. I think it is the rush of thinking that I could be O'ing or pregnant.

I save my urine to test with a digi later to make sure I am not missing a surge. I only test the urine with the darkest OPK of the day with the digi. I immediately test my with a OPK then save the urine. It is expensive and realize that without a job I may not be able to continue testing the way I have been.

My DH has never questioned me. He and I both really want a baby. I have always kept saved urine in my top drawer of my dresser (out of sight out of mind?). He has not questioned me. I have told him they were downsizing at work and that is why I was let go.

I have left a message for my Family Doctor for a referral for a psychiatric.

If he doesn't question your penchant for storing pee, then why did you not tell him the truth?

And, why can't you test with a digi at work, then throw the pee away?

Lastly, seeing a psychiatrist is a good move.

Cuz she only uses a digi on the pee cup that produced the darkest test line of the day... and she won't know which that is, until she has all the pee from the whole day. Then she washes out all the containers to do it again the next day.

duhhh. Wink
