2WW countdown, anyone want to obsess over symptoms?!

315 replies

So I’m only 2 or 3 soo, but I obsess every month with symptoms and I’m constantly checking google for ‘symptoms leading to bfp’ or something related. Is anyone also in the 2WW now and want to share symptoms and craziness?

@Chez13 I know! I’m certainly feeling a lot more hopeful than any other months. Usually by now I give up and wait for AF or a miracle! But something just feels different this time. How are you feeling? X

@cb22 oh that’s good! I think we all read into it more than we should but that’s how we know what is different each month! Well I’m feeling it more since last night, had those little electricity zaps again briefly, then this morning I had the worst cramp like it was AF day, you know the one you get when you wake up and she’s here! That for about 15 mins then it went, and all day I’ve had yellow cm, gross I know but different for me. So 🤞 for us all! I’m definitely testing tomorrow morning. Far too early but I can’t go any longer 😂😂

@Lexington86 oh yeah of course. I think it’s more of a pass time - I don’t really have the time to be obsessing, but I still manage to find it! It is crap when every month you realise it wasn’t anything, but I would only secretly obsess. I do read bfp stories every month, it gives me hope!

Haha girls we all obsess, so why not do it together? Plus it makes us feel normal when other crazy people do it too 😂😂
@Chez13 as they say it’s not over until the witch arrives, so keep faith, everyone is different and they do say that af symptoms are practically identical to pregnancy symptoms. A lot of women feel like they’re out as they swear blind af is coming, but it didn’t!
@cb22 that’s a good sign! I’m just mega bloated and have these weird little zaps in my stomach, but they’ve stopped now. I think I’m 7dpo today, or 6!

@Ameliasmummy12 every month I have ALL the symptoms that you would make you think you were going to get a BFP - PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are so so similar I used to drive myself mad googling ever symptom and trying to compare them to previous months! I also used to test far too early which did cause heartache as we had a few times where it was BFP’s but they did not stick! I know the 2WW is the longest wait of any woman’s (TTC) life but driving yourself nuts trying to guess only makes it worse LOL.But I used to do it as well to make myself feel better too. Reading everyone’s similar trials really helped. Now I basically have got so much going on in life and work that it leaves little space for thinking about it to much. Hard i know!!! but nature will literally happen when it happens xx

Chez13 · 21/09/2019 15:40

@Ameliasmummy12 @Loula82 @cb22 well for some strange reason today ive woke up and my left bb is aching and sort of burning feeling lasted about 10 mins then went away but still very tender , i usually get this before af but never had a burning feeling before sorry i know (tmi) and the headaches to mention are anoying ! Id reckon im about 6 dpo if ive timed it properly 🤔 hate this waiting roll on the 30th 🥴 x

cb22 · 21/09/2019 12:34

I've so got heartburn.. i know it's so early for feeling sick and that but i havent ate anything that would give me it but it's been non stop for a day or 2 Hmm this is where my mind is going crazy!

cb22 · 21/09/2019 12:31

@Chez13 it's nice to know people are experiencing the same thing and obsessing too 😂 i've been ttc only about 2 months now but only really started to track things this month!

Chez13 · 21/09/2019 11:43

@Loula82 @cb22 welcome aboard the obsession train haha !! The 2ww is a killer aint it ? Every little thing you feel your thinking oh it must be it lol how long you both been ttc? Good to have someone to share symptoms ect x

cb22 · 21/09/2019 11:11

Sorry thought I'd join in because im on the same boat but so entirely new to mumsnet so bare with im only getting used to abbreviations 😂 2 dpo and got the same @Ameliasmummy12 pokey feeling as you! a bit crampy and bloated but not too much but im not holding on to it!

Chez13 · 21/09/2019 10:33

@Chez13 @Loula82 morning ladies, anything happening today? I had the weirdest little sting feeling last night next to my belly button, like little electric shocks or something. To the left of my belly button, I’m not holding my breath though! X

@Loula82 yeah I know what you mean, it’s hard to tell with the cheapies. I sort of track, for months and months we just winged it going off cramps etc, clearly wasn’t working for us! So this month I tried preseed and just the cheapies but I never get definite lines on those. I feel this month we got O day right, I’m thinking other months maybe we were too early/late. Hoping anyway🤞. I’m going to test on Wednesday, I’ll be 9 or 10 dpo then x

Loula82 · 20/09/2019 11:51

@Ameliasmummy12 yes, I've started using the Clearblue this month even though they're quite expensive. I just can't be sure with the cheap ones whether it's a definite surge or not. At least with the Clearblue I got a solid smilie so knew for definite. Well, hope so anyway! Smile what about you?

No not at all, some people ovulate super early and super late and have got pregnant. As long as you’re ovulating you’re in for a chance. Do you track ovulation? Do you use tests etc? @Loula82

Loula82 · 20/09/2019 11:43

@Ameliasmummy12 I ovulated late this cycle so am just 1 DPO. I'm 28 days regular as clockwork though so pretty sure AF will come on the 2nd if she's going to. Do you think the fact I ovulated late will give me less of a chance? I'm ttc my first so fairly clueless!
