2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

[PassTheAfterEights]

Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge

@pumkinpatch000 Ooo exciting!! Have you resisted testing so far?? I think my dpo are right? I got a positive opk on 23rd feb and was negative on the 24th. How many do you think I am? Xx

Yes somehow resisted so far but it was hard. I have days when I really want to test and others when i'm scared to so not sure how I will feel tomorrow and if I'll actually go through with it.

i'd say you are 8 dpo :) x

Fingers crossed pumpkin!! :)

Keep us updated fingers are tightly crossed for you and thankyou x

Thank you for your support ladies. Unfortunately got BFN this morning but still no sign of AF so not out just yet.

How are you all doing today?

Sorry to hear no BFP today Pumpkin but still crossing my fingers for you! Have you enjoyed your Sunday?

I'm having waves of symptoms but sure my body is just teasing me :( I actually just wish my bfp or af would show to be honest x

I know how horrible symptom spotting is so just wanted you all to know I have been ss for 4 weeks now!!! I'm currently 17dpo and 4 days late on my period. Only got my BFP this morning!!!

Symptoms were.. brown mucus spotting around time period due, waves of nausea, light cramps and a tugging feeling behind my belly button!

Congratulations @chattein xx

Congratulations @Chattein! Excellent news!

just coming up to ovulation again so should be in the tww as of thursday :) how is everyone getting on?

Chattein that is fantastic, congratulations!

I am I think 10DPO and feeling alright actually, does anyone know how many DPO you can test?

Fab @Chattein congratulations!! Delighted for you. A late entry for Feb! Hope for all ;)

@pumpkinpatch000 @xLeanne128 how are you guys?

@winterwarmers two days behind you (again!) DTD like easter bunnies this week, very festive.

@fififiesta last bfp i had (the chemical) was verrrry faint at 9dpo and visible without squinty bright lights at 10. this was considered fairly early by TTC buddies though.

@PassTheAfterEights we dtd twice yesterday as was quite in the mood. Waiting on positive opk i think it's due Wednesday according to last month then will be 11 days till af

@passtheaftereights 9/10dpo bfn this morning (didn't get bfp until 14dpo with my mc) had an awful headache all day and waves of nausea, my boobs and belly are aching today weird to describe not sore just achy and feel heavy having more cm today too. (But bfn? As people say if it makes you feel pregnant surely it should show) Unsure if it's just af on the way it's so hard to tell when I've been on pill for 8 years (came off in nov) I never had any symptoms as af wasn't a true period had awful ovulation pains this month too which is new. Frustrating! How are you doing x

@PassTheAfterEights i've been better to be honest! My nan had a fall today and ended up in A and E with a broken hip so feeling very anxious at the moment. She has to have an operation tomorrow.

Still no sign of AF and my boobs are throbbing like crazy... hoping it's a good sign! Notice some other things too over the past week or so.

How are you?

@Chattein congratulations! Whoop whoop!

Thank you @FifiFiesta. My weekend was good thanks, how was yours? I hope you've had a good Monday too.

@xLeane218 I feeling very similar to you in terms of symptoms, I'm really hoping it's a good sign!

Pumpkin that's terrible news about your nan, I hope she makes a speedy recovery. What a day! But, the boobs thing sounds positive! What else have you noticed?

I think I am 11DPO, caved and got a bfn this afternoon but know that its early and also I didn't test with FMU so it was a stupid idea anyway, still big sad though

@Fififiesta yeah it's been a pretty rubbish day. Thank you, keep your fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow.

I'm hoping so, they don't usually hurt before AF and did last time I was pregnant so hoping it's positive but lets see. I don't want to count my chickens just yet because I could be completely wrong. Other symptoms I've had are vivid dreams, heightened sense of smell (I kid you not, we were in the car and I was like 'ugh I smell McDonalds' but nowhere was in sight... a few mins up the road and there was one.. so weird', very mild nausea, lack of appetite, taste buds have changed, exhausted, headaches, strained eyes (I had that last time too) and emotional (hubby came home the other day to me sobbing over a video of someone singing a song, cringe!). but i dunno... post MC maybe my hormones are still crazy.

Ah still early days so might not get a BFN yet. When do you think you will test again? Have you noticed any symptoms? It weird, it makes me sad too but then later I find the waiting easier because i've tested. x

Definitely a good signs Pumpkin and a LOT of them, are you going to test in the morning?

I have no other symptoms but I don't know for sure when I ovulated and I dont even know when AF is due as my cycle is irregular at the moment, I think it is Sunday at the earliest. I'm going to try not to test again before the weekend, busy at work at the moment so hopefully that will keep my mind off things but then it always seems busy and that hasn't helped so far lol

@FifiFiesta A lot of them could be down to AF or other things though so who knows. I really hope it's BFP but i'm scared to let myself believe it. No, I'm going to wait until the weekend.

That's not a bad thing though because many people don't have any symptoms at all. It's what drives me crazy with all this because there's no set guidelines for any of it. It's all so confusing! That's good you have work to keep your mind occupied, it will make the time pass quicker I hope. Fingers crossed for you xx

Pumpkin I'll see you bright and early on Saturday with a testing kit each then!

@FifiFiesta that sounds like a plan! I’ll keep my fingers crossed AF doesn’t make an appearance before then

Hi Ladies and congrats to you all who have BFPs and baby dust to the ladies still waiting. @passtheaftereights am so sorry to hear your news, I was so happy for you last month.
