2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

@PassTheAfterEights sorry to hear about your MMC xx

@PassTheAfterEights really hope you get a BFP! It's really hard not knowing for sure! Test again in the morning - or this afternoon, this evening and tonight! 🙈

I swear TTC makes us a little crazy! I've actually kept my POAS habit a secret from my DH as he'd think I was irrational - he'd be like "10dpo is still very early - just wait until the day after your period is due like it says!!" Easier said than done!!!

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights !

I will just wait and see.

My other symptom was struggling to get my jeans buttoned this morning so maybe more than likely AF! I always thought it would be like the movies where the women just throw up one morning and then that's it lol (naive I know!) but im realising so many people hardly get symptoms.

Good luck to all

Congrats to all BFP's so pleased to see all your visible lines!

I am 7dpo today. Could not drink my morning coffe for the first time.
Symptom spotting at it's finest

Happy Valentine's to everyone

Hi ladies, thank you all for your posts. I now feel slightly less crazy as been symptom spotting like mad.

AF due today/tomorrow i’ve had tingly boobs but not sore and also feeling slightly nauseous if I don’t eat for a few hours but that may just be the stress of it all. Today i’ve Had normal type period pains so given up hope a bit...Planning on testing on Friday if AF is late.

Congrats Melamine

Hi guys,
I'm very new to the TTC thing. I came off the pill at the end of January and had no bleeding at all since. Very much thinking I'll need to wait till at least I'm in a regular cycle till I would start testing etc but over the past few days I've been feeling nauseas when I've been leaving home to drive to work (so in the morning) then sometimes if I need to pee during the night I'll get out my bed and feel a little sick. It's probably unrelated totally but obviously I'll probably be paranoid that it's something else but not going to get my hopes up! Last night my nipples were stinging and almost to the point they itched. Most recent symptom over the past 2 days is a weird pulling feeling in my left side as low as where I would feel period pains. Did feel a bit crampy over the weekend too and was so sure AF was coming but nothing. Could this all just be my body adjusting to no pill after being on it for so long? I would be pretty shocked if I ended up pregnant as I was almost 100% sure it might take a while.

Congratulations @melamine so excited for you 😍😘

@cookiesaurous - I can definitely see a very faint line, can’t wait to see the line getting darker 😊.

Still trying not to symptom check but it’s soooooo hard not too xxxx

Thanks! I'm 10dpo today. I only started using OPK this month and I ovulated 3-4 days later than the predictions in all my apps!!! No wonder it hasn't worked before!

@Daisymalone keep trying!

This month I embraced the glass of grapefruit juice a day - I hate grapefruit - who knows if it worked or not!!

Congrats to you too cookie! It’s def positive! Thank you everyone. So exciting.

Wow this is turning into a really lucky thread for everyone (except me!!!) fingers crossed for loads more bfps 😀

There's definitely faint lines there @cookiesaurus! How many DPO are you?

Congratulations!! @Melamine 🎉🎉

@vickywood3 I think I got a BFP. But it's so faint I want to wait another day to see if my hcg levels increase!

I've done three (oops🙈) but they all gave a faint line! 🤞

I don't want to tell my DH until I know for sure as otherwise he'll get really emotionally invested just to feel disappointed - no point in both of us feeling like that!

Baby dust to everyone! It is Valentine's Day after all!! xx

Congratulations Melamine!

Congratulations melamine!

I know @AaronPurrSir, why do we do this to ourselves. I have everything crossed for you xxxxx

So an update on my posts earlier in the thread...no doubt here!!

Thought I’d share my spotted symptoms in case it helps anyone.

I dried up almost completely - you usually hear about increased CM, I’ve been the opposite!
Horrible headache over the front of my head for 5 days solid.
Moody & emotional, but not extremely, just a little bit more than usual PMT.
Vague feeling of being aware of my womb but no real cramps or twinges.

It was all very mild apart from the headaches & if I’d got a BFN I’d not have been surprised as most of the ‘symptoms’ can be put down to being hyper aware & overthinking things! But you never know. Good luck everyone else!

@vickywood3 I’m getting a bit obsessed, which isn’t good! This is only my second cycle TTC. Last month I had no symptoms whatsoever so I’m clinging onto everything this month. I’ll only end up really disappointed when I get a BFN or when period arrives, but I can’t help myself.

Why do we do this to ourselves

@AaronPurrSir - I am so bad for symptom spotting. I have literally become obsessed with it and I know it’s not good. It’s like, bloated, nausea, cramps. burning boobs, oh dear I dropped a glass, gotta be a pregnancy symptom 😂😆

Hope everyone has a good day today and baby dust to you all x

Woke up at 2am and hurled myself out of bed as I had the overwhelming “going to throw up” feeling. I am not a sicky person! I never puke unless I’m really drunk

The symptom spotting continues!

@cookiesaurus how did the poas go? How many days Dpo are you? X

@vickywood3 I just find it so emotionally draining! I'm awake in the middle of the night when I usually sleep no problem!! 🙈

I've just poas!!

Hi @Rachie1986!

@cookiesaurus I know, you are absolutely right. I literally am thinking anything is a symptom. I need to stop ASAP - plus on a medical level, I absolutely know that it is to early to detect symptoms. @Rachie1986 it is my #4. I never had to try for the other 3, so TTC is new to me. Xxx
