2WW countdown, anyone want to obsess over symptoms?!

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?

I tested today and got a BFN, i think im definitely out but can only try again next month!

Chez13 · 30/09/2019 17:00

Oh no @cb22 😩 like i said tho before not over till the witch arrives x

Yogahorseygirl · 30/09/2019 19:00

@Ameliasmummy12 thanks! Still no AF and cramps and boob pain on and off but really intense.. also had terrible headache all night (almost hungover feeling)... feel like totally over analysing but too nervous to test again as I'm convinced it will be BFN

cb22 · 30/09/2019 20:01

i know @Chez13 I still have a few days but im not expecting it to be this month now which is a good thing!

@cb22 I think I’m out too, although I’m officially two days late now. @Chez13 how are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?
@Yogahorseygirl I have felt the exact same. Like a hangover! X

Are headaches a pregnancy symptom? X

Niffler1988 · 30/09/2019 21:21

Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me joining in! First post on here and you all seem like a lovely supportive bunch!

So, this is our first time TTC and it's also our first cycle, so I'm completely new to this.

Here's where it gets tricky for me, last year my cycle was like clockwork, 27 days and AF was always on time. However, this year my cycle started as usual but then they have been all over the place, ovulating on day 10 to ovulating on day 30! So my cycle has been ranging from 23-42 days. I did however get a new job around this time and its quite stressful so I'm hoping I've settled back down now.

So we have been DTD every 2-4 days since I came off my period and going to carry on until AF comes next month. I'm due either at the weekend or middle of next week depending if my cycle has settled or not. Frustrating that I don't know for sure tbh.

So I'm really trying not to symptom spot and know I would be so lucky to conceive first time, however I do have some, so here goes.

I am so tired all the time but cannot sleep. Headaches. Nausea but hungry, and heavy full bbs. My bbs aren't sore but my friend pointed out how big they looked the other day. I went out at the weekend and didn't feel like drinking, very unlike me. I also had a dream that I got a BFP last night. I feel light headed. Moody. And I can smell everything!

I have an upset tummy but there has been a bug been going around so that's what I expect that is.

I think I'm reading too much into all these little twinges but this TWW is so intense!

Sorry for the massively long post, just wanted to give background.

Yogahorseygirl · 30/09/2019 21:32

@Ameliasmummy12 Perhaps that is a symptom then! In the second week of my cycle (before ovulation) I was under a lot of stress, resulting in having a couple of panic attacks.. and then the gastro a few days after... so now wondering if actually all the stress has caused the delay in AF but not sure if that explains my pains etc... god im so over thinking this haha!

Bstansfield · 30/09/2019 21:43

@smiletillyoumakeit I swear I've just got a bfp!!
Husband thinks otherwise but I'm sure I can see a line!!!

Chez13 · 30/09/2019 21:53

@Ameliasmummy12 yeah kinda sunk in but still very surreal 🙂 feeling a bit emosh crampy and really really sore burning bbs 😐 really think i should get a first response or cb ? X

Chez13 · 30/09/2019 21:54

@Ameliasmummy12 sorry that should have said u** xx

Bstansfield · 30/09/2019 22:08

Dh has kindly reminded me that he is blue yellow color blind so may not be the best judge...

cb22 · 30/09/2019 22:09

show us?! @Bstansfield

@Niffler1988 those symptoms do sound very promising! maybe take a test in a few days? itms so hard not to stress and overthink everything i did 😫

Niffler1988 · 30/09/2019 22:25

@cb22 it's so hard to not symptom spot isn't it? I feel like it's all in my head!

@Chez13 congratulations on your BFP!

@Bstansfield post a photo and we can see too!!

Fingers crossed for us all!

@Dafs123 headaches can be a symptom for some people hun yes.
@Niffler1988 they do sound promising! Many people have had varying cycles, don’t let that put you off. As long as you’re ovulating you have a chance!
@Yogahorseygirl stress is awful and can cause all sorts of crap for us! I know that, but maybe it’s not that? Stay positive! I felt like af was coming and then tonight nothing. Just a raging sore throat!
@Bstansfield upload a pic! Let us see! It’s what we are all craving don’t tease us! Lol
@Chez13 I’m just waiting a couple of days to make sure it’s not just a late af, I’ve had that before. I’m not allowing myself to get my hopes up yet. I hate sore bbs even when it’s a symptom! Don’t worry hun, just remember the cause and it’s all worth it!

Will do another one in the morning, hopefully it will show something good!!! Couldn't capture it on camera at all, fingers v tightly crossed as it's a clearblue and they have a tendency for evap lines

smiletillyoumakeit · 01/10/2019 06:40

@Bstansfield omg how exciting!! I hope you get your BFP!!!
I've woken up this morning with bad cramps even though af isn't due for another 6 days. I've just taken another cheapie strip but I don't know where I should be looking for a second line cause I swear I can see one but I don't know if it's in the right place. I had to change the brightness of the photo a little bit to show the line

2WW countdown, anyone want to obsess over symptoms?!

@smiletillyoumakeit I see it! Can you get a frer? X

Niffler1988 · 01/10/2019 08:21

@Ameliasmummy12 fingers crossed! It's so exciting but never wracking at the same time! Last night I slept at deeply, not like me at all. I think if we don't catch this month, I will test ovulation to make sure I am!

@smiletillyoumakeit I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

smiletillyoumakeit · 01/10/2019 08:22

@Ameliasmummy12 @Dafs123 aww really?! ☺️ glad it's not just me. I've got some frers being delivered hopefully today so will take one 😁

smiletillyoumakeit · 01/10/2019 08:22

@Niffler1988 thank you!! Grinxx

Niffler1988 · 01/10/2019 08:23

Oh I also meant to add that I've woken up with cold like symptoms and my skin has broken out! I occasionally break out but not this much or early in my cycle!
