    That's pretty weird. Maybe you should stop doing that.

    LOL no this has not happened to me...however I have started to gag for things like beef jerky (which my DH loves to eat) and when he has to spit...it's horrible!

    It's a reflex if u stick it in too far. Your cough reflex is much more sensitive now. This happened to me occasionally pre-BFP..so don't freak!

    Never happend to me but your ears nose and throat are all connected through your Eustrasion (spelling is way off i did it from sound lol ) Tube. Maybe you have a swollen gland or something

    LOL Only on my left ear, and only if I go too far in. It doesn't bother me on the right side.?

    Don't worry about damage- that's not what is causing it. I once had an audiology professor tell the class he had sometimes cleaned his ears out with toothpicks (gross, I know!).?

    PP meant Eustachian tubes.?

    The eustachian tubes are in the middle ear, though- past the ear drum. You can't poke it by cleaning out your ears unless somehow you jam the q-tip through your ear drum and angle it just right (and then your problem would be a lot worse than just gagging and coughing).

    Yes, during weeks 7-8 I absolutely couldn't do this or I would gag and couldn't stop till I threw up.
