Ok, what's with these cramps I'm having? Started last night and are still bugging me. It feels like really bad gas pain, but no need to pass gas or go to the bathroom at all. Localized under my bump. They come and go, sometimes sharply. I find them highly annoying. It could still be gas pain. I would get gas pain even when I didn't feel the need to pass gas. Are you carrying low? I noticed it more with P and he was really low my whole pregnancy.

Thanks @lolo. That makes me feel better. I definitely could be dehydrated. I have a cold and my appetite hasn't been great the past couple of days. It was only a small amount and turned from red to brown after an hour - definitely not pad-soaking quantities. I'll just go guzzle a bunch of water...

I really want to make myself a ticker but I'm scared to jinx myself.

Thanks everyone. I don't think it was from a BM because I haven't been constipated at all (left that behind 1st trimester thank God!). It was also definitely vaginal in origin. I'm not too concerned because it hasn't come back at all today and I feel fine otherwise. It's just strange because nothing up until now has made me spot - not sex (even the um... "vigorous" type), not moderately intense exercise, not even my pap smear!

I'm only 11 DPO technically, but my boobs are.. not ok. They feel like they weigh 100 pounds. I'm terrified about what's going to happen to them. Mine hurt a ton with G very early on, but I think it went away within a week or two! Also, my boobs never got super big or anything. I wore my regular bras until I started BFing. Lucky. Mine hurt almost every day. I only went up one cup size, but went up by 10 for the band size.

Welcome to pregnancy boobs LMC ! Mine also felt really heavy, and extra-perky(!) starting early first trimester. They haven't grown much but they're really firm, and I've never ever in my life had firm breasts. Not even when I was 16. It feels so strange. Quick question... I had some bleeding last night, which has now stopped but it still has me worried. I haven't had any bleeding this entire pregnancy and I feel like it's strange that it happened at 21 weeks with no explanation for it whatsoever (no sex, no unusual activity, etc). I think I can feel baby moving fine (but it's still so early I'm never 100% sure about movements), but could you guys please reassure me that I don't need to freak out about this? Drink water. Similar to @lolo My doctor said not to worry or call unless I bleed through a pad.

I POAS AGAIN this morning. I need to stop doing it. I then panicked because it didn't look any darker. Then I googled. This is literally the first time ever that googling made me feel better about anything TTC/preg related. A lot of people posted sticks that didn't show a huge difference between days 6-8p5dt. I need to take a day off. I'm just going to keep worrying until I can go in for my beta.
Got my progesterone levels checked this morning. They'll call me this afternoon with the results. Not sure what they might say.

Also the internet tells me Wondfos take longer to get darker. I feel so much better.

Also the internet tells me Wondfos take longer to get darker. I feel so much better. Also, anectdotally, with Norah, I had lines that stayed the same or got lighter at the very beginning. I did stop testing after a couple days because it was mentally really not good for me. So, my words of wisdom: a line is a line. A line is a line. A line is a line. I just ordered some digitals because I want to see the word "pregnant." I got a deal on Amazon. Luckily, I won't get those for 2 days so I wont' be tempted to take them.

Follow up on the "test those wipes in advance" comments- DH got to test them yesterday. He accidentally knocked over the box, and one of the packages tore when it caught on one of his tools. He says he mopped his face with one of them (was dismantling the treadmill at the time), and it worked really well, didn't rip, was moist without dripping, and the material of the wipe itself was relatively soft. So it looks like we have a winner for us.
While most of the opened pack ended up in a sealed ziplock baggie, he did put some in the wipe dispenser he ordered to test that out too. I have a feeling we'll use those generally so we don't throw out dried out wipes. So much for my 3500 wipe supply count, but hey, there's more where they came from if it becomes necessary!

Have a feeling at the bottom of my stomach that I'm hoping turns into actual contractions. Fingers crossed. Cmon baby squish! We can't wait to meet you, but be gentle on your momma!

Clinic just called - damn, they're fast today! Progesterone was 37, which.. I don't know what that means, but they say it's good and to keep on my same dosage of butt shots. Yayyy butt shots.
I kind of wish Tidbit was born in a froyo place. Then you could go there every year to celebrate her birthday @lolo

That is one of the best ideas I've ever heard in my entire life. Would sure ruin the bounce house for the rest of the guests, though.

You guys are cracking me up this morning. Thanks! @swimmy1988 Thinking of you today and all week! I hope that baby gets a move on fast (but not TOO fast!) LMC In the interest of full disclosure I was one of those people who pee'd on a Wondfo every day for a week after my initial BFP (and then at least twice a week from that point all the way until my first OB visit at 10 weeks because a) I was in disbelief, and b) I had bought a 20-pack of tests the month I got KU and I didn't want them to go to waste). Although there was a general trend toward getting darker over the course of the week, there was also a lot of fluctuation from day to day that I think can just be attributed to variation between individual strips and also how dilute your pee is.

And hey, we'll get froyo on the way to the hospital. I LOVE YOUR TICKER! THANK YOU. I figured.. you never know what's going to happen. I might as well enjoy my BFP
