Just thought there's lots of people mentioning symptoms in the TWW. Thought a thread designed especially for it would be good fun!

I'm obviously not symptom spotting (don't know who I'm trying to kid and my Google search history will tell you otherwise)

So mine so far... heartburn, nausea on a night time, palpitations, general tummy ache like it feels AF is on her way... although in reality she could well be 🤣😀

Anyone else??

Haha meeee! I'm 11dpo today! I've gotten good at not symptom spotting! But this month I can't help it, keep thinking do I feel sick?! I've got really bad back ache, not really like Af the odd cramp in and off, but my gosh do my boobs hurt!!!!!

Buns05 · 25/06/2020 22:11

This is my first month TTC so I'm really trying not to because I'm well aware that I could have a long journey ahead!! How many months have you been TTC?

Hello il also join you both Grin

I'm in the tww now! I have had headaches on and off, cramping for about 5 days straight now (af due in 7 days)
My boobs only slightly sore, my skin is terribly greasy and I'm starving. 🤣
I obviously have far too much time on my hands. Really hoping it isnt af on her way 🙄
Anyone had similar symptoms?

18months trying to conceive and approx 11 days post ovulation. Period due from today onwards. I always have sore boobs before my period that then drops off before it starts. And the pain has eased today so I know its on its way. Sad at the moment but it'll pass... Always does. Weird symptom this mknth was Very sensitive teeth. All my teeth. Ha apparently that can be linked to hormonal surges too

Hey 👋 I’ll join. I’m 5dpo post ovulation, or possibly more like 12 or possibly haven’t ovulated 😂 I don’t track and have irregular cycle ranging from 23 to 41 days. This is the last week I could ovulate I think. So making my husband do the deed every other day. Anyways I have had the worst lower back ache for the past 2 days. I usually get lower back ache right before I’m due on but that’s usually a couple of hours before af shows her face. Also nausea but I get that on the lead up to af as well so that could be either. Why are our bodies so confusing. Don’t want to poas until the 6th July. So just got to wait it out. Sorry for the long message 😂

KB13 · 26/06/2020 08:17

@ohbaby3 yes on the starving. I’ve been trying to lose weight and was doing really well until the last 2 days. But now I just want to eat everything. 😂

AnxiousAnnie86 · 26/06/2020 08:44

@buns05 this will be my 12th cycle trying but had a MC in Nov at 7 weeks, I'm 12dpo today, slight temp drop so think I'm out.... I had high hopes for this month for some reason!! X

ohbaby3 · 26/06/2020 08:48

@KB13 I was trying to lose weight too 😅🙈
Really wanted it to be my month but cant help think it isnt! Boo! Hope it's the month for you! X

KB13 · 26/06/2020 09:16

I have a feeling my body is just playing tricks on me. Trying really hard to not do the symptom spotting game but it’s so difficult not to. Fingers crossed it is for you too? When are you testing?

KB13 · 26/06/2020 09:16

@ohbaby3

ohbaby3 · 26/06/2020 09:39

I tested at 7dpo bfn it was an internet cheapo!
I am going to wait until maybe Tuesday 2 days before af is due? How about you? X

ohbaby3 · 26/06/2020 10:40

@KB13

KB13 · 26/06/2020 11:47

@ohbaby3 waiting until closer to af sounds like a good idea. This will be my 3rd. My youngest is about to turn 6 so I don’t really remember much about symptoms other than I only got faint positives and that was after af was late. So I try and avoid testing before.

I’m going to try and wait until the latest that af has shown in the last year which is 40 days. So ill be testing on July 10th. I think I will track next month as not tracking is stressing me out too much 😂

Kc1988 · 26/06/2020 12:42

Hi ive been trying to conceive this will be my 3rd i was on the pill progesterone only only for about a week kept forgetting then decided lrts have another haha, I had a period in May as usual no period this month makes me about 3weeks late af, I took a test at 10 day after af due was a neg so I'm confused now all my others showed up before af due lower backache want to sleep all the time aswell!

ohbaby3 · 26/06/2020 12:58

@KB13 oh really that's interesting maybe il wait until I'm classed as late If I can help myself!
This will be my 3rd too my youngest is 7 so I'm feeling like I'm starting all over again! It's only my first proper month ttc after having the coil removed so I'm not expecting il be so lucky! X

LuckyFlash · 26/06/2020 13:02

I’m symptom spotting like crazy and it’s not helping that DH asks me ‘is it still too early to test?’ About twice a day.
I’m 7dpo and feel really nauseous with some cramping. Felt on the verge of being sick in Tesco this morning with the food smells.
I bought a pack of CB early response but trying to hold off until at least 10dpo before testing. I have a 10/11 day LP so unsure if that means I could get a result earlier or if I should be waiting until after the ‘typical’ 14 days

1992EM · 26/06/2020 13:38

I am 10 dpo roughly . I haven't been using ovulation tests as only on month 2 of trying. I did a test today and it was negative so not holding out much hope. Have had twinges and pulling sensation on my left side for about 2 or 3 days. It started in my lower back. Feeling quite queasy but only really at night time. Super tired and having really bizarre dreams for the past 3 nights. I saw someone mention their teeth have been sensitive. I bought bio repair tooth paste and it has really helped with that. Although I didn't link it to hormones. All of these symptoms could be anything though. I was so bad for symptom spotting last month . The only real difference this month is the twinges and feeling queasy at night. Hope you all get your BFPs soon x

Kc1988 · 26/06/2020 13:43

My youngest is 12 in August so its like trying for a 1st baby all over literally forgot everything dont think men appreciate the confusion of conceiving at all as if pregnancy wasn't enough for us wkman to go through haha

Buns05 · 27/06/2020 10:27

Well today is CD25 for me. The last 2 months this has actually been CD1 so let's wait and see what happens! Felt a bit tummy achy this morning like AF should be arriving any time so we shall wait it out and see what happens!! I am also known to have 28 day cycles so really AF can arrive any time over the next few days!!

How's everyone doing?? Xx

I'm about 7DPO and I'm pretty sure I have just had implantation bleeding. My period isn't due for just under two weeks time and it was only a small bit of darker/brown diluted blood. Got some cramping now and feeling a bit nauseous. I was feeling a bit nauseous the last couple of afternoons but I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. I also just feel a bit different, none of these symptoms are PMS symptoms for me. This is my first cycle of ttc, I'm guessing this is a good sign? Earliest I can test is in six days time!

msunflower · 27/06/2020 11:09

@1992EM I had no idea sensitive teeth was a pregnancy sign! I've been having that for the first time ever this week. I just assumed it was because of drinking cold drinks in this heat...!

Vea1601 · 27/06/2020 11:09

AF arrived for me. Not too sad. It is what it is. Got a plan for the month ahead :)

Buns05 · 27/06/2020 11:09

@msunflower ooh that sounds promising for you!! 🤞🤞 it's going to be a long few days waiting to test for you though!

msunflower · 27/06/2020 11:09

Buns05 · 27/06/2020 11:10
