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?

Nothing at all yet @Chez13, had cramps etc but I’m nearly 2 days late now, did a frer this morning really really and it looked negative to me, very mild line but not enough to say it’s there if that makes sense x

@Ameliasmummy12 hope no sign of af yet ? X

Hi ladies, completely new to MN and have just stumbled upon this and now feeling slightly less mad knowing I'm not the only one!
I'm 28, TTC #1
Cycle 6
AF due Yesterday (Sunday) (I'm living in NZ so days might be a bit out of synch to everyone else!)
Have not been 100% myself for the past week.. but I did have 48hr gastro last weekend so could be down to that. Have had period pains since Friday though which is unusual for me so was fully expecting an early period and so far nothing.
Last night i had sharp boob pain and again just thought AF would appear imminently. But it's now Monday afternoon and still, nothing. Have done 2 tests and both negative.
This is torture!! Hoping that joining this thread will help to keep me sane while I keep waiting

Sorry miscarriage was July 🙄

Dafs123 · 29/09/2019 20:40

Hi ladies would you mind if I join?

First cycle ttc after a miscarriage in June. Worst tww of my life! Not due on till a week Monday. So I need to join the crazy train 😂 can't remember who said they had stitch like pains but that was a massive symptom for me before I got my bfp! X

Yeah definitely do another in a few days, as that does seem strange. Let us know too! X

@Ameliasmummy12 it was heavy but a lot shorter than usual. I've just done a test but it's negative so I'll wait a week and do it again thanks!

The thing that strikes me is your luteal phase being that short if that was your period? @YoureAQuizardHarry, are you sure it was your period? X

@Ameliasmummy12 thanks!! Love Harry Potter 😂

YoureAQuizardHarry · 29/09/2019 18:46

@Ameliasmummy12 yeah so I ovulated on the 16th and DH was away so when he came home early hours of the 20th so we DTD which was intended but not to ttc! Then my period arrived later that day. But now it's been a week since we had sex and I ovulated.

And I feel like shit 😂

@cb22 that’s what I’m doing too as I have one test, tomorrow I will be one day late so if no af I will test too.
@smiletillyoumakeit I felt like that about a week ago too, I had pains in my thighs which was weird. I felt really heavy and bloated. Also with the shaking, felt exactly the same yesterday, but I put that down to being overtired with DDs birthday antics!
@YoureAQuizardHarry absolutely loving the name! Not really sure what to advise as I have to say I’m not familiar with shorter cycles, mine are long. Do you mean you got your period a few days after you ovulated?

OP posts:
smiletillyoumakeit · 29/09/2019 18:22

I've just suddenly started to feel quite shaky like my hands are trembly similar to if you haven't eaten except I am eating loads!! Has anybody had this??

YoureAQuizardHarry · 29/09/2019 18:21

Hi can I get some advice? So we dtd last Friday about 3 days after I ovulated as DH was away. However later that day my period came and it was horrible. But it stopped and then I had just pink on wiping.

Since then I've started feeling really really sick this weekend, sore (ish) boobs, loose stools (sorry), dizziness and exhaustion. Now it could be a bug with all the symptoms but I dont know!!

When should I test if I do? My cycle is really short. It's about 24 days bag on

cb22 · 29/09/2019 18:03

@Chez13 hmm.. i dont want to test now for it to be negative and my AF to come tomorrow.. so il wait for tomorrow morning! it's not there anymore atm so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

smiletillyoumakeit · 29/09/2019 17:30

Also getting occasional throbbing pains in thighs

smiletillyoumakeit · 29/09/2019 17:29

7dpo & I feel a bit crap today. My uterus feels quite full & slightly crampy but not painful, just a dull ache/heaviness. I also keep getting a little throbbing pain in my left side almost stitch-like but it doesn't stick around for long, it comes & goes & isn't painful enough to make me say ouch but it's slightly uncomfortable. Been peeing more this afternoon too. I feel a bit iffy to be honest. My period is due in a week but it feels like it is going to come sooner based on how my groin/pelvic area feels x

Chez13 · 29/09/2019 16:13

@cb22 i had this with my son , pink when wiping was only the once tho and it was implantation x

I suppose this is why people pop up every now and then saying don’t symptom spot! But we’re not going to listen! Haha, it’s these last couple of days before af that are the worst, checking down there every 5minutes and being so in tune with our bodies! Feeling every pull and pinch and cramp. Exhausting! X

cb22 · 29/09/2019 15:57

@Ameliasmummy12 being feeling the exact same as you! not hopeful thinking of everything else but pregnant 😂

Ameliasmummy12 · 29/09/2019 15:50

@cb22 I have that feeling today minus the pink (for now anyway), feeling quite bloated down there all of a sudden and some twinges.
@Chez13 I’ve been so good with not testing! I’m usually doing any I’ve got spare! Not sure what to think atm, but will certainly do one this evening. I had so much to hold on to, but the last couple of days I haven’t been feeling so hopeful xx

@GoldLeafTree I'm going to get a test today and do it in the morning! that's what i thought but i thought maybe it would be too late?

GoldLeafTree · 29/09/2019 15:18

@cb22 sounds like it could be implantation and implantation bleeding?

cb22 · 29/09/2019 15:16

I have a feeling AF is coming early 😞 it isn't due til the 4th/5th, and is usually spot on, but last night I had a very weird cramp, I wouldnt even call it a cramp.. more like a "full" feeling down there? sorry tmi haha. but now ive gone to the loo and wiped and it's a little pink.. but i've not got my usual AF symptoms? why is my body deciding to trick me the time i start to TTC 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chez13 · 29/09/2019 15:05

@Loula82 i was so certain af was coming honestly hardly dtd at all this month and low and behold got my bfp a i wouldnt stress till shes here babe you just never knw x

Loula82 · 29/09/2019 14:28

@Chez13 thanks so much. I suppose I'm worried as only 2 days until af and still negative. Then again only 9/10dpo. Need to remember that!
