Any 2wwers?

I'm 4dpo and testing slightly early on 5.11.16 at 12dpo because I'm going to a family party that night.

Anyone needing any company during the 2ww? It's my first cycle off the pill and I'm obviously over-analysing everything!

Can I join? I'm 9dpo too and planning to test on Saturday! 3rd cycle for us after a reversal, just had the good news that the reversal results are positive... so now it's just waiting to see if they really do work.

I just noticed my wrist was itching. Must be having a girl.

Flappergirl86 · 02/11/2016 10:29

Ha! I force my other half to endure my farts & I'm enjoying blaming it on our potential unborn child. I'm only 6dpo so I can rule out 'symptoms' actually meaning anything but it's fun in a mad kind of way. But then we've only just started trying... 6 months down the line it might be a different story.

MrsG280516 · 02/11/2016 09:41

9dpo for me today and I'm so impatient to test.

Had a dream last night I poas and it was a lovely clear positive. Mean dreams getting my hopes up. I think I've had a pregnancy related dream almost every night of the 2ww!

Lol at the symptom spotting!!

When I was pregnant with DS I was always going on like, 'I have this because I'm pregnant, that because I'm pregnant, I googled it and it's a thing pregnant women get'. My husband was joking with me and all my symptoms/googling and he told me to look up 'eyebrow dandruff pregnant' and lo and behold there were posts on the internet about this particular problem! we still laugh about it :)

But yes to the vivid dreams and the wind!! what's that about? I think my boobs might be a bit more full. Very hard to tell though.

Tinkerbell2319 · 02/11/2016 09:27

Kaisha yup it is really I know I'll try and resist

(sits on hands)

How many dpo are you flappergirl?

AgainPlease · 02/11/2016 08:51

Smelly farts Blush yessssss flappergirl. I had this really bad a couple of days ago even though I hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary. I was talking to DH in his study at home and then all of a sudden ran out because I could feel it coming and later he was like why did you run out... Me: Ummmm my phone was ringing! Haha

Flappergirl86 · 02/11/2016 08:33

My 'symptoms' include:
-occasional cramps and twinges of the abdomen
-vivid dreams
-general gassiness
-foul smelling farts (sorry)
-oily skin & hair
-occasional travel sickness. Occasional travel sickness is the only one I don't normally have because I'm a gross human being. It's a wonder OH can even make love to me..

Kaisha02 · 02/11/2016 08:24

againplease I'm going to buy two tests today and possibly do one later and one tomorrow morning. Id rather know either way and stop Googling everything now. Tinkerbell I've been having vivid dreams too and lots of 'symptoms'. Saturday might be a tad too early to test for you I think.

Tinkerbell2319 · 02/11/2016 08:06

Haha againplease I feel you

Very mild low belly cramps for me this morning and kinda feels like AF is incoming but not due until next Tuesday and have been having super vivid dreams ... obv google says it's early pg symptoms but then apparently so is everything - fairly certain if I googled "is left eye twitching a sign of early pregnancy" it'd come up as 100% yes

Wish this week would hurry up and debating whether Saturday would be too early to testConfused

AgainPlease · 01/11/2016 22:24

Metallic taste in mouth is often quoted as an early pg symptom! Smile I never got it but loads of women do apparently.
First wee of the day still seems to be the proven method as it's the most concentrated wee as you've been sleeping all night instead of drinking tea and coffee and needing the loo all day (and the wee becomes diluted). But once you're properly pregnant, as in well past your AF due date, it will come back a positive (if you are indeed pg) no matter what time of the day you poas.

Kaisha02 · 01/11/2016 22:16

againplease I might buy a test tomorrow and test Thurs AM. Is the advice to test first thing in the morning still a proven thing? Or is it one of those myths? I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth this afternoon so Googled that of course, tasted a bit like blood but nothing there. Probably just that I'm coming down with a cold.

AgainPlease · 01/11/2016 22:03

Omg tinkerbell you made me laugh. Yes half the month I am sane and normal, other half I am a complete nightmare. I do find comfort, however, in knowing that when I type long pregnancy symptom-related sentences in to Google that more than one answer pops up... It means I'm not the only psycho symptom checker out there. Previous googles have included "are puffy eyes an early pregnancy symptom?" "Do itchy feet mean I am pregnant" 😅😅

Having been pregnant before I know what actual symptoms to look out for during 2ww and it's not much! Proper symptoms with me don't kick in till week 7 although I'm sure my next pregnancy might be different.

Kaisha that would be a fab birthday present for your husband!

MrsG280516 · 01/11/2016 20:39

I think it could be, it's totally up to you though. With AF being late, if you are pg you could probably get a result on a cheaper test.

Kaisha02 · 01/11/2016 20:35

MrsG is it worth a test do you think? Not sure I want to spend a tenner on buying a bfn. Haven't had any cramping at all since Sunday (was 24 hours only) and af was due Monday. It's my husbands birthday Thursday so would be an amazing gift!

MrsG280516 · 01/11/2016 20:24

Cramping is a common early pregnancy symptom Kaisha as well as meaning AF could be imminent, got my FX for you!

OP posts:
Kaisha02 · 01/11/2016 17:02

So af hasn't arrived but I had bad cramping the day before making me think it was about to. Still no af so I'm wondering if it was ovulation instead. Last time I had that about this time I got lots of bfn and went onto have a 36 day cycle Sad.

Tinkerbell2319 · 01/11/2016 13:33

Haha mrsG popularcontrarian

Fingers crossedddd

I swear I'm a normal sane person for the first 14 days of each month Grin

D 1-14 "not going to stress this month it'll be fine, don't even mind if this isn't our month it'll be ok"
Day 14-28 "omg does that twinge mean something? I'll just quickly google x/y/z"

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 01/11/2016 13:29

Hope all the symptom spotting bodes well for people! My "symptoms" (feeling run down and tummy ache) appear to have been the start of tonsilitis, which has come out in force today :(

I didn't have a tww last time, I didn't find out I was pregnant until 7 weeks!

Popularcontrarian · 01/11/2016 13:12

Eeek Tinkerbell, I hope it bodes well for you. The timeline is spot on if it's the case!

MrsG280516 · 01/11/2016 13:09

Haha lots of symptom spotting, lets hope the next few days go fast for us. I was hoping that 12dpo would be long enough for a clear result but I guess I won't be convinced until AF shows.

OP posts:
Tinkerbell2319 · 01/11/2016 13:07

Popularcontrarian that's so strange, I had an episode of a lot of CM on Sunday (would have been 6dpo) to the point before I checked I thought my period somehow had started

(Tries not to obsess)
(Fails)

Popularcontrarian · 01/11/2016 12:51

Found an old post on another site about my DS's TWW. I had very strong cramps at 4dpo and lots of cervical fluid at about 6/7 days, so much so I thought I'd gotten my period.

That hasn't happened this time at all but I don't know if I've been symptom watching as closely. When you have a 12 month old to look after you have a lot less time to think about these things!

And I got the faintest of faint positives tests in the evening of 11DPO but had a negative in the morning. My husband couldn't see it at all, he thought I was going mad :)

Going to have to sit on my hands for a while...

MrsG280516 · 01/11/2016 12:15

Haha I made DH promise not to let me test until Saturday so he'll be quite annoyed if I do! I'll live vicariously through you instead Wink
