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

Ttc baby number 2 here. 1st cycle so not trying to get my hopes up too much but I have had cramping, constipation, excessive thirst and peeing and tingly nipples (same feeling you get before let down) so I had a closer look and I was leaking out what I assume is colostrum? Is that a thing? Never had this before.

My only symptoms, and this I realised after I got my BFP, was constipation and extreme tiredness. I thought I was just a bit sleepy, lol. But otherwise absolutely no symptoms that I would have noticed. Didn’t even get nausea until about 11/12 weeks.

No symptoms at all in the 2ww - pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, tiredness etc have always kicked off around 6 weeks for me. Generally if symptoms you are experiencing are due to pregnancy (rather than pms) you will have enough hcg in your system to get a positive pregnancy test...

I do usually spot for the first couple of days of my period, and last month my body randomly decided to make that happen about 6 days before I was due AF for the first time ever so obviously I thought that could be a symptom, but it wasn’t! This time, the spotting was very light pink and watery and probably occurred about 3 or 4 times after going for a pee only when I wiped and a small amount, the last wipe was darker and more like brown CM (tmi) and then that was that. It was that that made me do a test as I had read so many times that light pink was a sign of implantation and I had never had that before x

HSapr, I always wonder how many women get pink spotting early pregnancy. Do you normally spot before periods? I now experience the dreaded spotting. I assume its just my normal spotting before period. But have the tiniest hope that it could be implantation bleeding. But I know that is wishful thinking, as I normally spot. Its barely there and only when I wipe. How long did your spotting last?

HSapr · 07/11/2018 16:39

My symptoms were the same as before AF with the addition of a bit of nausea 8DPO, pink spotting (when I wiped) 9DPO and a metallic taste in my mouth 10DPO (although I haven’t had that again). Got faint positive 10DPO. Supersonic Headache, tender boobs, sentisive nipples and slight afternoon nausea 11 and 12 DPO.

Good luck xx

@Mamabear12 I’m too impatient!

I think most don’t get symptoms! Lol. However, I guess they are like the normal PMS symptoms you get. With my first I remember specifically thinking PMS symptoms before my period. I am clock work and was so sure I was getting my period, that when I landed in my home country, I made sure to stop by grocery on way home to pick up some pads! However, when my period didn’t come the next day I thought maybe I miscalculated and off by a day. And then another day passed so I thought perhaps travel messed up my cycle. I waited an entire week to test.
By then hormone was so strong it went positive literally while I was peeing on the stick! Lol.
