I'm in 2WW 3DPO and been up every 2 hrs to pass urine and dying for a drink. Had twinges/pulling in lower abdomen all night and a weird full feeling in the bottom of my belly. Where's everyone else at in 2WW and how are u feeling? x

@jmc211 I know how you feel (well not exactly) as I'm a bit the same after my chemical last month. Really hoping to get to a week today with no bleeds... Tmi but have you noticed a big increase in CM, mines quite watery and I honestly keep thinking it's AF showing up. I'm checking my pants almost as much as I'm going got a wee 🙈

jmc211 · 17/08/2020 12:08

@Welliedays no I totally get you. It's all about the bleeding isn't it? You're literally scared to wipe in case you see blood.

I'm seeing a little bit of an increase in CM nothing too crazy though but it's definitely different down there.

Cramping today again which I'm taking as a good sign as it's not uncomfortable just there and my boobs oh my god they ache so so bad xx

abitfunny · 17/08/2020 12:13

Definitely feel different this week although seems very early to? I’m about 7/8 days post ovulation. Not many symptoms but really cramping in my stomach and had a metallic taste when I got into work. I definitely didn’t have this with my first?!

jmc211 · 17/08/2020 12:27

@abitfunny yes I had the cramping around that time and still some going on today so it's a good sign. Also I had like a feeling of extra saliva and I still feel that way. Got my faintest line ever on 11dpo xx

Welliedays · 17/08/2020 13:49

@sabz36 your symptoms all sounds promising, fingers crossed for you!!

@jessmarie20 I'm sure paracetamol is OK to take, maybe double check with Dr Google?

@jmc211 it's definitely all about the bleeding!! I really hope it stays away!! My boobs don't feel that bad, they get really heavy as the day goes on though and I have to take my bra off in the evening. My nipples are defs bigger too. I think I had slight cramping this morning but its stopped now. I'm really thirsty today, so trying to drink more!

EJay84 · 17/08/2020 13:52

@abitfunny I started having crazy, vivid dreams from 2 DPO and got my BFP at 10DPO. I'm still having them every time I close my eyes.

@Sabz36 This is baby #3 for me and I don't remember having any spots with the last 2 but I'm covered in really sore, angry spots, all over my jaw, neck and back.

@Lollol86 that was my last one - I’m going to stop now. Will phone dr next week for booking in appointment and been looking at getting an early scan. What about you?

@jmc211 I keep telling myself I need to drink more water but I’m rubbish at it so maybe that’s why my line is dark - it’s so concentrated!

Internetaddictgirl · 17/08/2020 20:38

Hello, hope I can join the band wagon! 3 dpo I think! Had a sore left nipple yesterday and both are sore today with occasional cramps
In the whole boob, I know it’s too early for symptoms but I can’t help it!!! Grin

Mac89 · 17/08/2020 21:17

Hi all, hope it's ok to join! Had a long read through this thread and got so invested in your journeys so far!!

I'm 6dpo today. Had AI at a clinic last Tuesday and Wednesday. Had an ultrasound on arrival and the nurse said it looked like I either had JUST ovulated or was just about to on my right side (which I assumed was too late for the procedure from everything I'd read!!) but she said it was perfect timing and that my left side had some VERY active follicles too, so to have another lot first thing the next morning!
I always have quite bad ovulation pains, but they dont seem to have left since last Tuesday (although duller now), and have had a twitching sensation in my lower abdomen.

What day dpo did everyone's boobs start hurting? That's the symptom I'm hoping for, along with some spotting, as I remember having both of those when I was pregnant with my ds 7 years ago. Just no idea at what point I had them!

Sorry for the essay 🤦🏼‍♀️

Internetaddictgirl · 18/08/2020 06:15

@Mac89 I ad sore boobs with my first too but can’t remember when that started happening!! Fingers crossed for you.

Sabz36 · 18/08/2020 11:10

Food poisoning symptoms have stopped but every other symptom has equally stopped acne has cleared, sore boobs are fine now, cramping still kinda there. I'm still clinging onto hope and maybe some cake lol

Welliedays · 19/08/2020 22:48

@jmc211 how are you getting on?

Nam095 · 20/08/2020 11:08

So ladies it seems I didn’t even ovulate at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I’m 0 dpo 😂 I have another positive opk today though so hopefully this is my time 🤞🏼

Welliedays · 20/08/2020 11:32

Ahh no @nam095 hopefully this is defs your time!! Better to ov later rather than earlier than expected as at least you can carry on dtd and you don't miss your chance!

MrsBmaybebaby · 20/08/2020 14:56

Hello all, okay to join too? Chief symptom spotter here Grin

I’m 6/7dpo (I think!) but haven’t been exact as this is first month TTC baby 1. Have had quite a bit of cramps yesterday and today and feel a heavy feeling in my lower abdomen (almost a bit like when your bladder is full, except it’s not that). Today I have a headache and i feel hot, but hubby just touched my forehead and said I’m not. Who the heck knows what’s going eh! Anyway the two week wait is an absolute killer Sad so pleased to read the rough the messages and see some BFPs though, congrats ladies!

Mrs32 · 20/08/2020 15:44

Hi everyone

Ive been driving myself crazy looking up symptoms

Has anyone else experienced tiny stabs, i had 3 sharp stabs in my left side and light cramping with a sore side. I also have right side back pain which is really odd. I am 7dpo and i ovulated 4 days earlier than my period calender predicted which is odd.
I also wanted to drink something milky buy so i made hot choc but it tasted rotten and i also tried my husbands strawberry milkshake which also tasted like gone off milk urgh 🤢
I also have experienced wet and white CM which is like egg whites

We have been trying to concieve since April 2018, such a struggle

Anyine else in the same boat?

Mrs32 · 20/08/2020 15:46

@MrsBmaybebaby
Sounds like we are in the same boat
What symptoms have you experienced?

MrsBmaybebaby · 20/08/2020 16:35

@Mrs32 it absolutely does! Yeah I’ve been feeling a tingling sensation in my lower abdomen yesterday morning early on, which developed into cramps the rest of yesterday and today. I feel like they are milder than with AF, but feel a bit different, with random ‘spots’ of pain ( I don’t know how to describe them other than it feels like a sort of bubble in lower abdomen that goes painful briefly). The full feeling is quite bizarre and occurs all the time. I’ve occasionally thought I was nauseous but probably not really. Boobs feel same as usual except maybe a bit tender at the sides (outer). I don’t think there’s much going on with my CM - it’s fairly clear with la bit of whiteness. Seems to be less than others describe.

What a bizarre old process this is! I’m so sorry you have been trying to conceive for such a while now, it sounds hellish 😕 this is my first month ever. I can’t imagine going through these TWWs all the time, please look after yourself FlowersSmile

Mrs32 · 20/08/2020 22:28

@MrsBmaybebaby
I habe the exact same thing with my breasts, they are a little achy on oit outsides near my arm pits which it odd for me. I got my P 2 days late and ovulated 5 days early this month.
Ive been having cramps last night and today. We DTD today and it felt like i was very tight approx 3 inches inside, never had that before and i jad a few sharp stabs in my left side whilst DTD which hasnt happened before either.
Ooooooh it so frustrating all this waiting

Looking forward to hearing from you x

MrsBmaybebaby · 21/08/2020 08:05

@Mrs32 oh you DTD? I don’t feel I could at the moment, feel quite bloated and uncomfortable.

Sounds like we are going to have to muddle through this wait together! When do you plan on testing?

Mrs32 · 21/08/2020 08:42

@MrsBmaybebaby
I want to test now LOL
Ive honestly peed on so many sticks its a bit of a joke now. Ive been good for about 3 months and not obsessed over my 2WW but this month its all going on so i will probably start testing Monday or Tuesday. Doubt i will be pregnant, itll be a miracle if i am

What about you?

MrsBmaybebaby · 21/08/2020 09:51

@Mrs32 it must be so hard to keep your hopes up but these things do happen! my friend tried for 2 years and then had a great pregnancy and has a gorgeous wee baby now :) but I can only imagine how despairing it feels each month!

I am going to try and hold off for Sunday - I've looked at my dates again (didn't really pay that much attention since it was first month) so actually think by Sunday I might be about 11-12 dpo, a couple of days later than I thought. but who knows! If I can I'm going to keep trying to tell myself no and push it back as long as I can manage. Keep me posted on how you get on!

Mrs32 · 23/08/2020 18:14

MrsBmaybebaby

Ive not had any symptoms today and BFN 10dpo today

What about you?

MrsBmaybebaby · 23/08/2020 18:58

@Mrs32 sorry to hear about your BFN but it may still be too early? Fingers and toes crossed for you! I’m still cramping/stitch like feeling, outer boobs still sore. I’m holding off until tomorrow to test as I’m trying to be a bit more chill.

Mrs32 · 23/08/2020 19:48

MrsBmaybebaby

Thats good youre waiting. Ive not tested for last 3 months, i was trying to be good but with all the ping pangs and pulls i got excited this month. Today no CM so im not testing now until AF is due bec it gets me too down.

Keep me posted, i have everything crossed for you to get a BFP x
