Peek-a-Boo Cramps

So I was all in a panic over my bizarre cramps that I had going on yesterday. They were so disturbing I went to see Dr. W...and as you know, they found nada in my pee sample. Just normal things floating around here and there (mucus is normal? blech!). I was pretty conviced, by the way it felt (similar to a recent UTI back in October), that it was yet another UTI brought on by the oozing progesterone suppositories.

But last night it disappeared. No pain. Not a bit. How strange is that?

But this morning, on my way to have coffee with Holding Pattern I noticed a twinge of cramping yet again. It persisted the two hours that we chatted, was a bit distracting at times, but it wasn't as fiece as it was on Thursday night, waking me at 2:30am. After coffee I drove south to Ikea and tried to buy drapes and hardware for the master bedroom and the office. My bladder/uterus area felt really heavy and continued to cramp. Still not as bad as Thursday night. Try as I did to pinpoint the area where the discomfort was coming from, I simply couldn't.

So as I write this, it's 9:00PM, the cramps are gone yet again. It's like this cramp is playing peek-a-boo with me. It's there. Now it's gone. Oh, it's back again. This is strange. One would think that if this were really a UTI, left untreated as it is, that it would have progressed into something really nasty, and probably accompanied by a fever of sorts. But no. This is truly strange.

J says I'm being negative and pessimistic in thinking that it's just a UTI and that I'm not pregnant. I'm not sure why he feels so certain that I'm pregnant. I know that I can't tell the difference between UTI cramps and uterine cramps....and I know he is being supportive, and I love him for that. I just don't feel pregnant. It's been many years since I was last pregnant, and actually, both times I don't know if I had any symptoms at all, except for a lack of AF. My mom said that when she was pregnant with me that she didn't have any morning sickness until she reached the third trimester. That is really odd. But, if there is any similarity at all between her and I, then yes, maybe that would explain some of my weird symptoms.

Back to baking that batch of brownies...
