2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

@hatechoosingthese - I can’t help symptoms n spot too. But to be honest I got all these symptoms and and now 7dpo and have nothing! I do have achy full boobs, but I get this a week befor Af anyway. To take my mind off it am working more xx

Can I join in here ... going absolutely crazy. Second cycle TTC and I thought I was 13dpo, but Natural Cycles found my ov today on 8th Feb, which gives me nearly another whole week of waiting if it's right (my temps are all over the place, tbh).

Trying not to symptom spot but it's impossible - boobs feel heavy and my nipples are ridiculously sensitive, almost like they've been burned(?!), keep getting weird cramps/twinges in my lower belly, including a pinching feeling last Sat, got excited about being poss implantation cramps, but if ov was 8th that seems unlikely ... Ofc I've already POAS with cheapie internet tests and got BFNs

Any suggestions to keep myself even vaguely sane other than just drinking all the wine?

Congrats to those of you who've got your BFPs, and fingers crossed for the rest of us...

@gossipgirl28 it does sound promising! I have everything crossed for you xxxx

I hope it is implantation. I guess if it stops tomorrow then it is but if not I guess it must be AF a week early on cd21. Xoxo

I’m either pregnant or AF is coming. I’ve got weird crampy feelings. 11dpo today. I’m going to buy a frer tomorrow and try and hold out until Saturday morning... who am I kidding? I’ll probably do it as soon as I get home!

Ooooo gossip that sounds promising!!! I had that in my first pregnancy :)

Just to say I still have tender breasts so that's why I'm hopeful. Just that I remember last month noticing it abd then it stopped and I came on.

Can I join? I came off the pill in November and my first cycle was 25 days, second one 23 days. With both I had pink spotting a couple of days before. I don't temp or chart but go by cm, so think I ovulated around day 12 - 14. I'm on cd 25 and nothing. My luteal phase is 10-11 days. I have tender breasts which I noticed last month but that stopped and 2 days later I came on. According to ovia I'm not due til Sunday but it's set as 28 day cycle as this is what I was before the pill years ago.

So, I'm hopeful. I stupidly bought a FRRR yesterday instead of a FRER and that was negative but it wasn't fmu. I'm getting cramps and that I'm going to come on feeling but keep going to the loo and nothing.

@gossipgirl28 it does sound like implantation bleeding. I am 6dpo so still very early - no new symptoms and on the lookout for implantation cramps! Love hearing everybody else’s stories x

@gossipgirl28 that could very well be implantation bleeding! Fingers crossed!

Hi all,

I'm 7days post ovulation and this morning I have woke up to very light bleeding/spotting (I'm using apps, OPKs and temping).

This is my first cycle TTC and I'm wondering if the light bleeding is maybe implantation? Has anyone else had any bleeding? I have no other symptoms other than being tired.

AF isn't due until a week today. Any advice would be great.
Xoxo

@jasmin93 I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had cramps since 2dpo, but could that be pregnancy, or just really early signs of AF? I was certain 2 days ago as I had a dodgy stomach and woke up wanting to puke, but I feel fine today so that could have just been a mild bug. I’ve felt tired too but nothing out of the ordinary, I’ve had zero energy or inclination for gym/exercise which isn’t like me. I could just be a lazy bitch though

It is driving me mad, all this hanging around.

*7 days a week.

8dpo. Been tired and exhausted last night after work. Headache started and continues this morning.
People say they "know" when they are pregnant. Well, despite all my "symptoms", I don't feel pregnant at all.
Does anyone else feel the same ?
It's more me being overworked. I work u days a week. No day off.
I shouldn't be surprised that I am tired...

Only 2-3dpo and feel as though I’m getting AF cramps! Uggghh.

The symptoms of AF are pretty much identical to those you get before a BFP. I’m not sure they’re a reliable indicator of whether you’re pregnant or not. I remember sticking up on pads and tampons thinking AF would be arriving soon due to the cramps I was getting. Turns out I was pg with DD. The only thing different I really noticed was that I had achy hips but didn’t have that symptom in my subsequent pregnancy which unfortunately ended in MC.

That’s another thing I worry about, I had a MC before DD was born and it was the most stressful and worrying 12 weeks not helped by the fact that I had a small bleed at around 5-6 weeks. Scan at 7 weeks confirmed everything was ok. Didn’t announce pregnancy until I was 18 weeks, would’ve waiting till 20 but was huge at that point an struggling to hide it.

Newmrs22, I'm 9DPO and trying to hold out till the weekend!

Congratulations to everyone who got there BFP's.
And those who didn't so far.... Good luck for next month.

No luck for me this month - AF just arrived.

Fingers crossed for you all on the 2ww. I’m going to cheer myself up with a glass of wine

Ooh this is a lucky thread! Congrats everyone who got a bfp. I'm 10dpo and I've massively got my hopes up this month. I've purposely not bought any tests so I'm holding out until the weekend.

@vickywood no change for me, still have tummy pains but no sign of AF yet. Keeping fingers crossed but feeling a bit deflated already as I had a m/c at 8 weeks in August and didn’t have any pain at all before BFP that time.
I’m also due to have a laparoscopy next Thursday to check for endometriosis- a nice BFP would be a good excuse to avoid the op! I’d be interested to know if any ladies have had a laparoscopy before - I don’t know what to expect afterwards

@Colourful86 am so sorry about your MC. But I know what you mean by everybody seems to be pregnant.

@Daiseydot - how is it going? Hope the witch is staying away for you!

Good luck to everybody else in tww, I am currently 5dpo so I have ages to go x

2WW is so painful today, esp not being sure what's going on. Finding it really hard today, think I'm 9dpo according to ov sticks, another bfn today, I know it's probably too early, I just wanted to give oh a surprise on Valentine's Day esp as we MC'd last month.
Just seen another Facebook pregnancy announcement to, making me sad and frustrated :(

Congrats to all the BFP!!

The 2ww sends you crazy hey! I'm almost counting every time I pee!! Ridiculous!

I've got at least 10days til I should POAS! May feel like 10 years!

So many BFP’s! Maybe this is a lucky thread? I hope so.

Only 2dpo and the wait is killing me already!
