Two Week Wait Symptoms

Those of you who are pregnant / have been pregnant, what were your symptoms during the TWW and how early did they start?
We are TTC number 2, my first was born over 6 years ago so I can’t remember back that far!
I had an early miscarriage back in August, and I did have similar symptoms before I found out that I was pregnant.
I’m 7DPO, having cramping in lower abdomen, dizzy spells, absolutely ravenous but have occasional waves of nausea, tender breasts, constipation yesterday and really bad stinky farts (sorry TMI!!! Grin)
I know that there’s more chance of me not being pregnant, but I’m interested to know what your symptoms were and how soon you felt them! Just to keep me sane until I can test next week Grin

@Pitterpatter01 I'm out, AF has just turned up today. 5 days early, my cycles are mental atm so I can never be quite sure what is happening in there.

Fingers crossed for next time 🤞🏻

Hi, I'm lurking! I tested positive for ovulation on Thursday so just patiently waiting to test! We are going on a night out on Saturday so want to forget about it until then!

@bonfirelatte most definitely! I would be panicking even more if I felt fine Grin

@Pitterpatter01 at least having the symptoms are very reassuring! Hopefully you'll feel more relaxed as time goes by xx

@bonfirelatte so sorry to hear that! But not long before your fertile week again.

Apart from feeling very worried, I have started to feel sick, really sore boobs, tired and had weird dreams last night!

@27evenyearsyoung there is a very light amount of blood when I wipe (sorry for TMI), nothing on the pad yet. It'll surely start properly later on, of course my mind keeps saying 'what if'!! As soon as it starts properly I'll move on and concentrate on the next cycle.

That's so exciting for you! How are you feeling x

@27evenyearsyoung thank you, due date will be around 24th July which is really weird as that was the exact due date of my DS (he was born 31st May though!). Any updates from you?

@bonfirelatte is there blood or just normal AF pains?

@27evenyearsyoung @Pitterpatter01 thanks for your replies! As soon as I've posted, I'm pretty sure AF might be arriving 😭😭😭 on to cycle 6! I just really want it to happen already!!! Good luck to you ladies on your 2ww xxxx

27evenyearsyoung · 13/11/2018 09:38

@bonfirelatte agree with @Pitterpatter01 can't rule it out unless AF arrives.

@Pitterpatter01 so pleased for you, all very positive. When will you be due?

@bonfirelatte you’re not out until AF shows up!! Have you tried a FRER test?

OP posts:
bonfirelatte · 13/11/2018 07:51

I usually have a 28/29 day cycle. I'm now on CD 30- still getting BFN on my pink dye tests.
I'm not sure when ovulated- usually around CD15/16
I was so convinced I might be pregnant this month because of unusually cramping. So disappointed by BFNs.
Am I definitely out? What's the latest I should see a BFP? X

@bonfirelatte thank you! Trying not to get too excited after my miscarriage last time. Praying this one sticks.

@27evenyearsyoung ah ok, thanks for that. I have a cheap test which I will do tomorrow but save the other more expensive FRER for the next day! I will probably end up testing every day because I’m that paranoid! Surely you will get your BFP, I’m not sure why you would have leaky boobs if you’re not!! Please keep us updated!

OP posts:
27evenyearsyoung · 11/11/2018 09:33

@Pitterpatter01 I def see a line, it's faint but it's there. HCG will double every couple of days though so don't panic if you test again tomorrow and it is no darker yet.

Thank you, I'm feeling really crampy today and nipples leaked slightly last night. Any other time I would be seeing the GP about random leaky nips 🤣😂 but for now I will cling to this symptom with some hope haha x

bonfirelatte · 11/11/2018 09:32

I can see it @Pitterpatter01 - congratulations!! It'll be nice to see the line get darker over the next few days xx

@Pitterpatter01 congrats to you! It is such a scary but exciting time, with my first the 1st trimester was a real rollercoaster of emotions. Keeping everything crossed for you Thanks

I’m now 12 DPO (period not due until another 4/5 days). Just used a FRER at FMU and I can see a very very very faint second line Grin
Will keep testing every day until it’s stronger. I’m worried though as I miscarried at 5 weeks back in August. Then had to wait 11 weeks for periods to return. Praying this one sticks if the test is correct and I really am pregnant!

JudasPrudy · 11/11/2018 00:37

Ohh let's see. I have little cramps after orgasm (sorry if TMI) and I get really thirsty. Sore boobs too usually. CM usually dries up as normal before AF. I'm 9dpo ish at the minute and am interested to see if I have conceived this month as I have a face full of spots which I haven't had since DS was born. I also get the pregnancy smell down there sometimes when I have conceived. If you know it, you know.
