Symptom spotters unite

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??

My symptoms seem to be getting stronger as the days go on since DPO. I'm about 9DPO/CD21, implantation bleeding has stopped but other symptoms I'm now getting are sharp pains in the groin on and off, really strong sensitivity to smell, constant runny nose, general spaced out feeling and since I've woken up I can't stop needing to pee. Have taken a test first thing but a BFN although thinking it's too early still as AF not due for 10 days. Should I keep testing every morning from now onwards or wait?

@msunflower I think testing every 1-2 days from 9 dpo is fine

I tested at 5w+2 so around 21 dpo - I had given up testing as it seemed pointless after so many negatives. The line was quite faint and unfortunately bleeding started 4 days later so it probably wasn't right from the start. Only symptoms I had were sore boobs, and my wee smelt funny. Did have slight nausea if I didn't eat for 2-3 hours but that doesn't happen often!

Today I started feeling nauseous at 8am + some indigestion. Not the symptoms I would expect, but I'll probably test tomorrow anyway at 8/9 dpo.

Hello all,
Anyone experienced yellow discharge? It's my 11 dpo today and I have period due on july 2nd.
So i am not sure if my AF coming or is it some pregnancy symptom

msunflower · 29/06/2020 12:50

@greenjavapiano that sounds promising you have some symptoms now, and I'm sorry it didn't work out before 🥺 I started getting a metallic taste in my mouth just now once I finished eating lunch and my sensitivity to smell is reelly quite strong now. If I don't get a BFP and AF arrives I think I will go and see the GP as never had any of this before! Fingers crossed for you, let us know how you get on! It's nice to have someone in a similar stage to chat with!

SkyBlue20 · 29/06/2020 14:44

I'm feeling so nauseous this afternoon and have a horrible taste in my mouth. Hoping it's a PG symptom rather than me coming down with something 🤞🏼Have also had sore nipples but they've calmed down today. Urgh, symptom spotting is the worst - I wish you could just know straight away if you were PG or not!

3dpo and been cramping a little since ovulation. Started spotting this morning. Only cd17 so far too early for af, bit late for ovulation bleeding (got that cd14), too early for implantation. Any other explanations??

1992EM · 29/06/2020 16:17

@LT103 Could it be old blood ? Or maybe implantation and ovulation happened earlier than you thought ?

1992EM · 29/06/2020 16:19

@SkyBlue20 When is AF due for you? Those symptoms sound promising.

1992EM · 29/06/2020 16:21

@Shinea I have this today . Never had it before . Actually though Af was arriving a day early but it is only there occasionally when I wipe and there isn't much of it. I tested today and it was negative so not sure if it is a pregnancy symptom . Fingers crossed it is.

When are you due AF ?

Shinea · 29/06/2020 16:26

@1992EM I am on due on july 2nd, even for me it was very little so not sure if it's making a way to AF or what's happening inside.
I am thinking to take test tomorrow morning as I ll be 12 dpo.
Not much hopes after this yellow discharge, still I will give a try.

1992EM · 29/06/2020 16:36

@Shinea I am due AF tomorrow so and between 10 to 13 dpo . Have you tested at all yet ? I am bad for poas but now holding of till AF does or doesn't show.

Shinea · 29/06/2020 16:47

@1992EM I was so eager to test by my symptoms like left lower abdomen pain and nausea, metallic taste for 2 days then tested yesterday (10 DPO) and it was BFN, so I am thinking to test tomorrow or on thursday when my AF is due

LT103 · 29/06/2020 16:48

@1992EM I thought I had dates all ok. Checked with opk from cd7, negative until cd12 when it was high then peak on cd14. Cramps started that night and haven’t gone away. Spotting all morning. Feels like af But can’t be.

Last month I Cramped and spotted For 5days before af which Was unusual but this is 2 weeks! Surely far too early to be af?

LT103 · 29/06/2020 16:49

Sorry peak and cramping on cd 13. Currently cd17

I'm not too sure tbh - I'm CD23 but cycles can be all over the place after a miscarriage, I'm not sure on my cycles anyway (got PG first month off the pill) and I don't track ovulation, it's a right mess 🙈 I think it would usually be around 11th July (I think I have 32-35 day cycles) and I'm usually a late tester, however I'll see how I get on, IF this is pregnancy then I will have ovulated early so may get a result in a week or so. Will see how I feel - if the symptoms are overwhelming, I may just give it a go. If I'm not PG, I'm looking forward to getting to know my cycles a bit better and may even start OPKs!

I see your AF is due tomorrow, fingers crossed she doesn't show! When do you think you'll test if she doesn't?

1992EM · 29/06/2020 17:06

@Shinea Definitely best to wait . I am fed up see that stark white screen. It is so hard though . I have had so many symptoms . Can't stop going to the toilet today. I mean I only went 15 mins ago and need again. I was up 3 times last night. So if AF shows I have no idea what is going on.

1992EM · 29/06/2020 17:07

@LT103 think it will be too early for AF . Most likely implantation x

1992EM · 29/06/2020 17:11

@SkyBlue20 sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I hope you get your positive soon. I tested today which is between 10 to 13dpo . I have no idea as haven't tracked ovulation. I got a negative on a frer . I'm not testing now until AF does or doesn't show . I can't bare to see the negative again and if it is positive it will hopefully be darker if I wait longer . x

Shinea · 29/06/2020 18:35

@1992EM it's best to wait but these symptoms makes us test earlier just to see nothing

1992EM · 29/06/2020 18:36

@Shenia Absolutely, then we just torture ourselves. The thing is , if it was positive I don't think I would believe it until after AF anyway 😂 x

Shinea · 29/06/2020 18:39

@1992EM same here, last time I tested 8 days after my AF due. But sadly I had MMC at 20th week. So this time not keeping hopes high also but want to have baby desperately too. So I am currently numb by all that happened and happening

1992EM · 29/06/2020 18:45

@Shinea Bless you, that sounds awful. 💕 hope you get your positive

Shinea · 29/06/2020 18:50

@1992EM Thabk you :) baby dust to all, hope all of us gets our positive soon :)

msunflower · 30/06/2020 09:09

About 10DPO today, still getting a BFN but having some more pregnancy related symptoms yesterday/today... Headache, lower back pain and just a fullness in my lower tummy as if I'm about to come on. My Clue app is telling me that AF is due in 9 days but I had a shorter cycle last month so it could arrive as early as in the next 5-6 days. Should I try the FRER now or wait a little longer?

1992EM · 30/06/2020 09:53

I would wait until closer to AF to take a test. They only are reliable from 5 days before AF.

Unfortunately AF has arrived for me , good thing is my regular cycle is back .
