Sorry, weird TMI question. I just did an OPK test (my first, I'm early in the TCC journey), but decided to dip the test in collected urine rather than POAS. I noticed many small, diffuse translucent (like bits of skin or somehting) "pieces" in the urine once it was in the container. I remember noticing this same thing a couple weeks ago when I took an HPT. That was close to when my period should have started, so I assumed the "pieces" were just a product of early menstrual stuff that hadn't made it into a flow yet. I'm wondering if any of you other test-strippers have ever noticed this kind of thing in your pee? Could it just be bits of CM or discharge that are being flushed out with the urine? I can't find any info online about this kind of thing, other than possible gall stones, which I really don't think I have. i don't have kidney pain or anything either. Just wanted to see what y'all thought... ↓
Thanks! That eases my mind. I guess the vast majority of people don't go around collecting their urine, so they never have a chance to obsess about this kind of thing. LOL. :) ↑
yea i am always peeing in a cup between my last 2 pregnancies and utis you start to notice whats in your pee, i have had them when i am pregnant and when im not but when i am pregnant i have a lot more discharge tmi ↑
in addition to cm, your bladder can be excreting what they call epithelial cells. this is perfectly normal. i have it as well & i only noticed when i started ttc and i ran to the urologist like a maniac thinking this was the precursor to kidney stones lol ↑
okay i think im having both bc the one is fleshy and the other is thicker pieces i know gross tmi i know sometimes after sex too its worse again tmi lol im sorry.....have either of you gotten bfps im testing tomorrow!!! im so excited, my husband is away on a cutter right now and the time before that (hes home 2 months out 2 months) we lost a baby at 7 weeks, so we are both really praying for this!!! i hope you guys post if you get bfps too!! ↑
lol it's ok. in the lab where i work we test for cancers and one is done by urine so even after talking to the urologist i ran to my friend (who happens to be male, btw) and was like OMG what is all this CRAP in my urine!! poor guy. but yeah, i usually have both too. i'm due for af sunday so i'm trying to hold off on the testing but it's so hard. especially when i just a fresh pack of sticks from the internet! good luck tomorrow!! ↑
Thanks for all the info guys! Glad to know I'm not dying. :) I'm only on CD10 today, so I won't be counting down for a couple of weeks. I hope you both get your BFPs! ↑
my af is due saturday... i woke up last night and i thought i had morning sickness and i was soo happy, lol but then it just wouldnt end and now i feel like the full blown flu! i didnt test today bc i didnt have any pee really to test w/ i havent had anyfuilds for over 12 hours that i can keep down. so ill wait until im late.
carlee hopefully we will be able to find out if you get a bfp in another couple weeks!!!! i hope so:) ↑
i'm sorry you're so sick kre87. the flu sucks ASS. i know people always say they have the flu when they have a really bad cold...but when you have the FLU flu...you realize how people can die from that shit lol. hang in there. i had to live on mashed potatoes the last time i had it and i could only eat between like 8 and 9 pm, any other time of the day i was beyond sick w/fever. i remember feeling like my heart was going to pound out of my chest. you absolutely have to drink though, you are dehydrated and that will make you nauseous even longer & you are not out of the running for that bfp. hang in there!! ↑
ahhh! i hate it when people say they have the flu and its the cold kind of flu, i give anything to trade for that!!! lol im starting to keep down fluids now, still have the fever chills and aches though, and what worse is i started my period early! like an hour ago, so this motnh was not the month for me, i will keep checking to see when you get yours! and thanks for reminding me of mashed potatoes, that was always my recovery food too! ( kfc mashed potatoes) ↑
