This is really just to pass the time of a 2ww. I can't test until at least Sunday and although I know I can't possibly detect any symptoms until at least then (or if not after), can you lot please come and tell me what "symptoms" you watch out for?
I've heard stuff about a runny nose, grumbly tum, headaches etc etc and my rational side knows that these would be either coincidental or just imagined at this stage- but would help me pass the time!
So, what vvv early pregnancy symptoms do you look out for?

Well here we are again (OP here under an assumed disguise)
CD 19 here, think I ovulated on day 17 so the 2ww is underway again! Next Sunday (28th) is when I can realistically test- have those cheapo internet tests rather than the early posh ones 
so need to wait the full fortnight I guess.
Ruby and minicc if its any consolation, both pregnancies I have had (ds1 8 ds2 4) caught me totally by surprise symptom wise- when the line appeared I really did NOT expect it to. Had not experienced any symptoms at all even though I was desparately looking out for them like now
Come on ladies hit me with some symptoms that I should be on the look out for!

Ah mini, I'm with you, I too need the sticks. It's fascinating reading about all these signs, I had no idea how you could tell when you were ovulating! I think the CBFM would be best for me mainly because it uses FMU, and I like the idea of getting a smiley face 
That said, I will save my pennies till AF next arrives, as it's due Monday (in the hope that it doesn't, these CBFMs not being cheap!!) and should a BFP turn up in the meantime, you ladies will be the first to know. Probably even before my OH as he's on a stag do in Budapest this weekend!

I'm out too - AF has turned up unexpectedly (and irritatingly) early! Wasn't due till Monday and I'm never usually this early 
On the bright side, it means I can start my charting over the weekend & also enjoy a glass or two of wine!!

Morning all,
Well I have to say, the course about positive thinking yesterday has helped, despite my reservations about such things! Apparently your unconscious mind can't process a negative, so you should think 'I want' or 'I will' rather than 'I don't want' or 'I can't' - otherwise your mind doesn't recognise the negative part of what you're thinking about. So, in a new spirit of positivity I'm sorting out a new get fit plan, which will hopefully help along the baby making plans too
I've also been cleaning. Not so interesting but needed doing!
freaking: how are you feeling now?
By the way my new positive feelings don't extend to understanding the CBFM instruction manual, which I've been reading online - I'm rubbish with stuff like that anyway but all I want to know is do I have to start it on CD1 (which I've now missed as AF arrived early!) or can I start it any time - if the former, I'll save my pennies for a couple of weeks!
