Anyone starting their 2 week wait today ish and want to obsessive symptom spot ?

Is being absolutely ravenous a very early symptom I've been eating so much, and been so incredibly hungry, this cannot be usual !

I'm in the same boat as you FJ - due on today-ish, but 1st proper cycle after MC so not sure. I too have the achey boobs etc (just like every other month) but I still manage to convince myself I might be. Have had cramps on and off for over a week now - usu just 1-2 days before a period, but wondering if it might just be diff due to recent MC. Also (tmi alert) I have a shooting type pain which feels deeper inside, maybe around where I'd imagine my cervix would be if that makes sense. Oh good lord, someone tell me to pull myself together please (couldn't help doing a test today which of course was neg....)

AF crashed my party today. Pleased it's here after all the BFN's I was worried when AF was two days late and still BFN. Anyway, at least I know now.

We'll try again this month and I might try to stop temping and charting and relax a bit more, too. This was our first month TTC no 3 and I surprised myself just how obsessed/stressed I was about it. Not good ,really. Must chilllllll.

Welcome all the newbies. Hoping you get your BFP's very soon and babydust and sticky vibes to us all.

wow curly I didn't even realise you were TTC yet - in my head I thought it was xmas time-ish? Sorry for the long absence - my laptop wire melted and dh used the last of the battery charge to buy a new wire on eBay and we're still waiting Have missed MN so much - its my TTC release!!

As for no symptom spotting, I tried my best I really did to NOT get my hopes too high in the sky but.... here's my list:-

backache
headache
achy abdomen
nausea - but no sickness
lack of apetite? always feel full (very not like me - I assure you. I'm even off chocolate!!!)

I think I'm cd22 today so it's around the right time to start noticing something surely?
I've never felt like this after ovulation so heres hoping...

Loujalou hope you feel better soon!

My symptoms seem to have diminished over the last few days although I still have slight back ache and heightened sense of smell (very slight) and I am now convinced it's all in my head! On day 22 - roll on Tuesday! When we concieved our DD (2yrs) I wasn't this obsessed! We caught straight away - I didn't even realise I was pregnant until I was 6 weeks. What's happenend? Why am I so obsessed every month trying to concieve #2? Fingers crossed for BFPs for everyone this month!

My so called symptoms of nausea and funny taste in mouth seem like they are related to the cold I have developed today

On day 22 so still got to wait til Tuesday before period due. Its going to be a long wait.

morning all.

CD23 for me today.
My list of symptoms\aliments :

Constant Backache for the past few days
Headaches
tummy grumbles
Tight feeling across my chest and top of boobs (had something similar with DD but not this intense)
Hot and light headed feelings.

Make of them what you will.. Im divided into two camps... First happy that "maybe" and the other of not getting excited only to be disappointed

May test at the weekend if im brave enough!

fingers crossed for everyone

Hi all

snow, yup, I'm with ya - but jealous of your implantation-type bleed. Roll on the 11th!
lack of symptoms today... back ache?!? (was on feet all day).

Hey kaylo long time no chat. Looks like we'll be testing about the same time

Hi Guys - I hope you don't mind me joining in? My period is due sat and I am really desperate to know if I am preggers or not. So, so excited. Would any of you recommend a test I could take tomorrow or are they not that acurate early on?
Have had what I think is an implantation bleed, been tired, have grumblings etc etc. Sorry if this counts as hijacking this thread - new to all of this.
Thanks xx

Definitely a good week to go on holiday I go then because it is cheaper (no kids yet so no school worries)

Ok, so the symptoms today at only 2dpo are:

Creamy CM
Major bloating - more than usual post ov
Mild cramping this afternoon

Hey everyone - I'm testing 10th Sept, and also going on holiday on the 16th Sept

Trying desperately not to symptom spot but failing miserably.

Nice to 'meet' you all

xxx

Thanks, MM. But don't think so this month. I have been lucky enough to be pg twice before and in those cases the HPT came back +ve at 11 and 13dpo so I'd have thought it would have been by now. Symptoms pretty much gone away, too.

There's always next month...

Hello all, I am a mad symptom-spotter too.

Was due on 1st or 2nd Sept but have tested today and the past three days and BFN every one. Depressing. I should have come on yesterday but nothing at all. Maybe AF will come today??

I did have very heavy/swollen norks from 7 dpo and was so convinced that we'd managed it this month but as the days go by with still BFN's I think not. Just wish AF would start so I can think 'another chance to try'.

My temps are still up but not as high as when I conceived dd1 and dd2.

Hope there is some happy news on this thread soon. I'm too scared to join the bus threads...

Hello, can I join too? On cd 25, my cycle is irregular. between 24 and 33 days ish. Did an early response test on day 22 - I know, I know, I shouldn't have, and it was neg. But am thinking it was too early to test anyway. Metalic taste in mouth like I'm chewing ball bearings, exhausted, grumpy, sore boobs etc. Then again was certain I was preg last month and wasn't. So desperate to test again, I just can't be trusted...

I neve used to notice any creamy cm post ovulation, then the one cycle I did notice, I got a BFP.

Since then, I've noticed it on cycles where I haven't had a BFP BUT they have been suspected CPs (I won't test early)

I think some creamy cm can be normal, so it isn't necessarily a sign unless it is abnomal for you. Lots of lotiony cm is a good sign though apparently ...

It is just so difficult to predict !

Ooh, I've got thrush this morning and have had some lotiony CM during the last couple of days. By that I mean that it isn't sticky - does that make sense? I'm only on CD17 and really can't remember what happened with DS, or what happened last month either , might start writing stuff down. I think DH thinks I'm bonkers so this behaviour won't help.

I now feel more positive about the thrush and will stop moaning for the time being.

jools- The things we discuss on here! My DH would die if he knew!

Yeah id say it was slippery, cleary kind. Just cant remember if thats normal for me or not.

Before we decided to TTC number2 i just didnt pay much attention and just moaned each month when the PMT kicked in.
As other mummys will confirm since DD I cant remember much about ttc #1... Its true what they say about your brain turning to mush! ( or maybe thats just me! )

Pigleychez - I can't believe I'm asking this, but what sort of CM ??

A lot of people report copious amounts of white lotiony stuff when they have conceived

Normal for me at that CD is dry

snowbunny- Sounds hopeful.. Fingers crossed for you.

Quick question for you. Im so out of touch with my body since having DD.

Now on CD 22 and this morning had a return of CM.. normal or not?

Had abit of a funny tummy yesterday. Not really cramps but a kinda heavy feeling and just not quite right with a headache on and off.

Are the FR 6 day early tests any good? Ive always waited till after I was late but im begining to feel the urge!

Morning Mousemole. I'm with you on the nausea thing - I now know it happens during the 2WW anyway and keep telling myself to ignore it !!

I was wide awake most of last night (could be another symptom or could be just me as I get insomnia anyway) and quite windy yesterday afternoon, but then again I note that down in every 2WW

I am INCREDIBLY bloated though - feels like I've stuffed a beach ball down my jumper. I know I put on weight when I put my back out, but I've been dieting well and exercising manically for nearly 3 weeks now, so clothes shouldn't be this tight Again though, I do often bloat after ovulation.

Snowbunny - if you ovulated and conceived on CD14 and saw that sort of blood at 5 days past ovulation then yes, that could well be an implantation bleed A little early, but I had one once at 6DPO, so it can happen.
