Can't get my mind off the 2WW... anyone else in the same boat?

Hey, my fiancé and I have stopped using protection and have had a couple of months of "let's see what happens" and I have been so relaxed so far and not thinking about it much but this month i can't seem to think of anything else, I just really feel that I'm going to get pregnant this month. I can't explain it, I just feel like I know, it's a bit strange. Has anyone else had this?
I'm only on cycle day 21 and my cycle are usually around 31 day so I've still got a while to go. I think I'm about 4dpo but that only an estimate by a cycle tracking app. Althogh I just found an online calculator that said ovulation happen on cycle day 20 so i might be 1dpo but I think I trust the app more as I've been using it a long time so it has a lot of data about my cycles. (Definitely will test for ovulation when we actively are trying)
We dtd on cycle day 15, 17 (predicted ovulation) and 20.
Is there anyone else that is at a similar time in their cycle to me that are driving themself crazy already like I am? Good know what I'm gonna be like when we start actively trying 🙈

Oh great, I have a look for it! Can you get symptoms that early? I can already tell I'm going to drive myself crazy picking up on the tiniest thing! 🤦‍♀️😂

I feel you, I'm driving myself crazy this month, can't think about anything else.
I have one DD but she was the biggest shock of my life so this is my 1st time ttc 🤣 had the implant removed 14th June and pretty sure I ovulated about a week or so after so now just resisting the urge to test as I know its still early and it's so hard not knowing when (if!) I ovulated in the 1st place! Aaargh. Having some symptoms, had backache and abdominal cramps the last couple of days but no sign of af also a lot of cm (sorry tmi!). Although I am symptom watching like crazy so could have forced myself to feel them 🤣 I'm the same as you though I just had such a good feeling about getting preggo don't know why!!

@alice1993 it's so hard to get your mind off of it isn't it?!
I know it's best to wait until after AF is due to test but in my head I'm already trying to work out when I could possible test so i completely understand what you mean... going to try my hardest to hold off until after AF is due if I can resist the urge.
How many dpo are you? Is AF due soon? Think I'm going to start symptoms spotting like crazy next week, although I'm gonna try and not read into things (like that's going to work 🤦‍♀️😂)
It's crazy isn't it? This is the first month I've felt like this! I've just got this strong feeling it's going to happen this month. There is nothing that would lead me to think this as I'm too early for symptoms, it's just this gut feeling. Let's just hope these feelings we're having are right!

Becuase I've not had af yet since implant out I'm not sure how many dpo I am... I think anywhere bw 8 and 14 so could well be still to early to test. Been feeling slightly nauseous the last couple of days and just went for a walk with DD and started feeling SO sick... Caved and bought a FRER. Bfn. Trying to stay positive though bc it could well be too early to test!! I defo feel preggo with the twinges and nausea but I could have convinced myself to feel it haha. I just had such a good feeling as soon as my implant was out that I was gonna get preggo really soon!! Just want to know but cause I haven't had af for like 3 years I have no idea when I'm due so it's hard 😂 the waiting to see if symptoms appear is the worst 😅 last time it didn't even dawn on me I could be preggo until 8 weeks. Was defo much less stressful that way lol.

@alice1993 okay, yeah it definitely could be too early to test. Definitely still lots of hope for your BFP. I know that when I came off the pill last year it took my body ages to get in any sort of rhyme so hopefully all these symptoms are because your pregnant but if not the silver lining will be that it sounds like your body is sorting it hormones out and getting into a rhythm (not sure if any of that made sense, my mind isn't with me today 🤦‍♀️😂)
Definitely seems less stressful 😂 hopefully AF stays away and you get your BFP!

One thing I have noticed tonight is that I seem to have more visible veins on my chest. I mean it's not that noticable but I feel like there is more than I can usually see. Either that or I've forgotten what my chest usually looks like 🤦‍♀️😂
Surely it's too early to be noticing thing like this... could it just be a coincidence? Surely I couldn't have any signs or symptoms of pregnancy yet?

And as I've just laid down after typing the previous message I got a stabbing pain just for a second in the side of my boob... this is spooky... surely these can't be signs this early on?

Today I've had some twinges too... surely it's too soon for any symptoms? Could it be implantation?
