So I'm on the dreaded 2 week wait and I'm symptom spotting and it just got me thinking and was wondering what your weitdest/earliest pregnancy symptoms were!

I am also on the dreaded 2ww and going slightly crazy!
How many dpo are you? I am 3/4 dpo.
It's gonna be a loooong week!!!!
Interested in replies so I can convince myself even more that I am pregnant! Grin

I'm roughly 7/8dpo

I feel like there's a weight pulling G low down in my tummy and kinda spreads to groin/leg area plus every now and then get a pulsing feeling in my left boobs!

oooo sounds optimistic, not long to go for you now.
are you testing over the weekend? Fx it's a bfp!!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 07/02/2017 14:12

At 7DPO I stood for an age convinced my boobs looked different couldn't pinpoint exactly how though!
Also, I had tufts of new hair growing round my hairline - is that even a symptom? It was enough to convince me I was pregnant!

I'm now 39+5 weeks 😄

Aww congrats IF do you know if you are having a boy or gal? Is that your first?

Queen I have also bought a heap of IC incase I get impatient which I know I will!! Have you been having any other symptoms?

New hair growing could technically be a symptom as you don't lose hair when preg! Not long now till your little bins is here :)

No other symptoms and that's why I'm not getting hopes up

OP posts:
burgerwheeler · 07/02/2017 14:39

I didn't have any with my first! I was shocked that I was even pregnant. I had no symptoms whatsoever!!
It all sounds very promising for you so I have got my fingers firmly crossed that you get your bfp! This 2ww goes so painstakingly slow, bet you can't wait till the weekend!! Grin
Would be a great valentine's pressie!

I didn't get any symptoms with my 2st 2 (both mc) with my 1st ds I didn't find out till 7ish weeks as had no symptoms and didn't realise I was late! With 2nd ds and 3rd MC I had symptoms but not till 3.5-4 weeks! This is the 1st time I've actively been ttc as the rest have been surprises or just happened when I came off pill so never had the 2WW or symptom spotting in past

burgerwheeler · 07/02/2017 15:36

I am sorry for your losses queen Flowers
I am the same like you, this is us actively trying as well. Didn't even know there was such a thing called 2WW until I came to the conception board!
I find this has just made things so much harder. It's only cycle 1 actively ttc for me so I am not too hopeful it will happen and it's okay with me. Although I am constantly thinking about it!!!! It's overtaking my life and I really wish I could relax about it. Sigh
Have you been trying for long?

Raffles1981 · 07/02/2017 15:39

Thirst was my clue. I was drinking loads of orange juice, could not get enough water down me. Which is unusual for me. My issue was, I had been in an accident a few weeks before and had hurt my back, so I put the backache down to that. And then my cat started acting weird - just staring at me for no reason and snuggling my stomach. So yeah, thirst and a cat being weird were my first clues x

This is my 1st month actively trying too! Had a 3 month wait on period returning after MC but like you it's taking over, it's all I can think about!

Raffles I've heard loads of people saying goes about pets acting diff! It really is amazing!!

OP posts:
burgerwheeler · 07/02/2017 16:29

Funny you say that Raffles as when I was pregnant with my ds my rabbit stopped jumping on my lap as previously he used to! Guess our pets knows before us huh Grin

Great queen we can travel this crazy world of ttc together!! Roll on weekend for you and next week for me! I know deep down, I will be disappointed if it's a bfn as I am so keen to get pregnant again. grump grump.

CwtchMeQuick · 07/02/2017 16:50

3rd month TTC for us. The last week or so I've been getting really light headed and dizzy when standing up from bed, also been absolutely ravenous and not really enjoying sex as much as usual. Period is due today, had a neg test on Sunday morning. My periods have been starting as soon as I get up the morning they're due since I came off the pill not nothing yet today, so just text DP to bring another test home with him.

With DS I didn't know I was pregnant until 7 weeks and first symptom was horrendous morning sickness which started at 6 weeks (I had really irregular periods on the mini pill so hadnt noticed missing one).

Let's hope it's a short stint for nothing of us burger :)

Oooh cwtch that's exciting:) hopefully you get your bfp

5th month of trying....having the strongest symptoms this month but I've learnt the body plays trick on us! Burping is what I have at the moment....lots and lots of burping which is very unusual for me (never mind embarrassing!) the 2ww is the longest weeks ever!

CwtchMeQuick · 07/02/2017 21:01

Neg test this evening but still no period so going to give it a couple of days and retest if I still haven't come on. The waiting to know either way is the worst bit

QueenGiggles · 07/02/2017 21:07

Hopefully if it's strong symptoms then it's for the right reason!

The waiting game is defo the worst

OP posts:
QueenoftheKings · 07/02/2017 21:09

Oh cwtch, maybe give it a couple of days and try again in the am. That's when they say is best isn't it. It's the worst waiting to find out one way or the other.

CwtchMeQuick · 07/02/2017 21:21

Thanks Queen and Queen

Yep it's this waiting I can't stand. At least if I'd have come on my period I'd know and we could just focus on next month. Just stuck in limbo atm trying not to get our hopes up! I'm going to try and wait a few days but I'm so impatient I might test again in the morning Blush

theclick · 07/02/2017 21:52

I'm on the 2ww of cycle one and it's also taken over my life. I've convinced myself I'm going to have issues getting pregnant so am seriously symptom spotting. Even though I don't really have any. Oh well!

QueenGiggles · 07/02/2017 22:40

Click it'd so easy to symptom spot and in my case over think them too!

Cwtch I'd be doing it in the morning too, I fear I may become a POAS addict

burgerwheeler · 08/02/2017 07:03

My boob started leaking milk last night and I haven't breast fed for 6 months! How about that for a weird symptom??? Grin
Oooo good luck for this morning queen and click
Let us know how you get on!
The waiting is definitely a killer!!

CwtchMeQuick · 08/02/2017 07:38

Negative again this morning Sad no period yet though

Catherinebee85 · 08/02/2017 07:41

Mine was going off coffee and Mcdonalds twice in a week (totally unheard of for me) 13+4 with my first currently
