2WW anyone? Fancy symptom spotting with me for fun?

[EJay84]

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

@Lollol86 congratulations on your BFP!

I got my BFP this morning on a clearblue digital - going to check in a few days with a FRER because I can’t quite believe it.

Congratulations @missmini, I'd say if you've got a positive clear blue that's really good as they aren't the most sensitive!! How many dpo are you/when was AF due?

@nam095 sorry to hear you've got BFN, when are you expecting AF?

@MissMini thank you I done a digital this morning eekkk.
Congratulations to you so exciting.

@Welliedays either tomorrow or Saturday. Absolutely gutted. Hopefully next month will be my time! How are you feeling today?

@MissMini congratulations!!

@Nam095 I did an early detection hcg this morning at 10DPO and got bfn too. Had bad cramps yesterday and was in a foul mood last night - pretty much the same as every month when AF is due. Feeling very deflated today!

@nam095 you're not out yet then, but I understand you don't want to get your hopes up.

I think I'm maybe creating symptoms in my head in the hope they are real 😂 I was really tired last night and had quite sore nipples. I also went to bed feeling a bit sick and with heartburn, but I've woken up absolutely fine this morning, so I don't think I should be reading into the symptoms too much as they're probs just part of my cycle rather than anything over and above!

Hi everyone, okay if I join? Seems like quite a lucky thread - congrats to those with BFPs! 🥳

I'm 3DPO, cycle 1 of TTC #1. I know it's a) not likely to happen on the first go and b) far too early for symptoms, but here I am anyway 😅

Been feeling a bit of crampiness on and off and last night I was really quite uncomfortable, achey muscles all over and horribly restless legs. Would've thought I was coming down with something except that I'm fine this morning!

I know at the moment it's just that pesky post-ov progesterone rise but of course I'm reading into everything anyway 🤣

@Welliedays I think that’s what I did, felt like every thing I felt I was thinking it was a pregnancy symptom. I’m hoping for you though that you get a BFP very soon!

@Amy259 yeah it’s very disheartening not seeing that second line 😔 you might be testing too early though, try again in a couple days ☺️

On another note, my OPKs seem to be all over the place. I’m pretty sure I ovulated on 1st as my peak was on 31st and I had EWCM for a few days over that period and my BBT rose same time too. But then past few days I’ve been getting visible lines on them? I know they’re not positive but I wouldn’t have thought there’d even be a hint of a line during this time

@Nam095 apparently LH rises again just before your period - according to the premom LH strips I use anyway. It can also rise when pregnant because the strips can’t distinguish between LH and HCG so the presence of either makes the rise. So I’m told anyway 😂

@somanystars same as me, TTC #1 first cycle. I almost wish I hadn’t tracked though because I feel like the disappointment will be higher knowing I knew when I ovulated, BD around the right time, confirmed with temp etc 🙈 maybe should’ve tried it a bit more relaxed for a while first! But I felt like we may as well go all in...

@Amy259 ah must be the period then! Thanks for the info 😊

@Amy259 Hah yes me too! I didn't temp, but did OPKs and basically made sure I covered all my bases. Even though I know it can take months or even longer I just know if it's BFN this month I'll be like "but we did everything right??" 🤣

@somanystars that’s exactly it. I’m 10DPO today and took a test this morning that was negative and I’m trying so hard to shake the disappointment. Even though it’s both early and cycle 1! The whole thing has sent me loopy 😂

@Amy259 10DPO is still early! Although to be honest it is when I'm planning to start testing as I know I won't be able to wait longer 😅

Fingers crossed for both of us!

Just catching up on messages. Congratulations on the Bfps!

Only symptoms I've noticed are sore boobs last night and lower back ache. Resisted testing so far as I must have spent a bajillion pounds on tests this year so I'm trying to wean myself off lol. AF due on Sunday so will see if I can last until then.

Hope everyone is doing OK x

@Welliedays thank you. AF due at the weekend and I think I ovulated around the 31st, I didn’t test just went by my millions of apps and CM. Sounds like you’re having some symptoms, it’s hard as I think AF and pregnancy have such similar symptoms. I’ve not really had many symptoms either way.

@Amy259 @Nam095 sorry about your BFN’s, you’re not out til AF arrives but I totally get not wanting to get your hopes up.

Keeping everything crossed for those still waiting to test.

Congratulations @Lollol86 and @MissMini, great news! Best of luck to everyone still playing the waiting game x

How is everyone getting on? I had some pink spotting when I wiped yesterday afternoon and then some light brown spotting last night at 8ish..but I've had nothing since then even when I've wiped... So I'm not sure if that was my cycle being weird after my chemical last month or whether it's implantation (which I'm obviously hoping for, but don't want to get my hopes up at the same time!). If I get no more spotting today I might cave and test with a frer on Sunday on the assumption that I may have had an implantation bleed yesterday, so by Sunday my hcg should have doubled and it should therefore defs be showing?! I was so tired last night as well, I went to my bed a good hour or so earlier than usual... And to add insult to injury my coffee smelt of fish this morning so I didn't drink it (I really hope that's not a sign 😂). My boobs don't really ache too much like they have been doing, but they feel solid 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Welliedays ah that sounds promising!! How many dpo will you be on Sunday? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

No sign of AF today and haven’t had any symptoms at all since yesterday morning other than nausea, I was reading some other forums last night about people having BFN still at 12 dpo but then getting BFP a few days after, so as you say I’m not out till AF arrives!

@namechangettc Possibly somewhere around 11dpo by Sunday...I don't do any kind of tracking other than using flo, so my dates are very hit and miss... And why we dtd every day that week to 😂 if it hadn't been for this spotting I would defs be holding out to the day AF is due if she doesn't turn up before... And I might still hold out yet (but amazon are delivering two frers today... So we'll see how I go at resisting 😂😂😂😂)

Hi everyone hope it’s OK if I join ☺️

I’m on CD 24 been off the pill for over 6 months and normally I’ve got a 27/28 day cycle never less - I’ve had a small bit of bleeding brown/ pink when wiping last night and today (sorry TMI) I’m hoping it’s implantation bleeding but I don’t want to get my hopes up as my luck it is probably early AF! Anyone else had similar?

Sending baby dust to all x

@Nam095 keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻

@Welliedays that all sounds super promising!! Spotting plus an aversion to coffee definitely sounds like something - let us know if you do decide to test!

Still BFN for me here and my PMS moods feel in full swing 😂 think I’m going to try to stop testing and just let AF arrive - she can’t be far away!

@cosmo29 I'm cd22 (cd21 yesterday) and I had the exact same as you yesterday afternoon and evening... But nothing so far today. My cycles are normally 26/27 days 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Welliedays fingers crossed it’s implantation!! So hard to tell isn’t it I’m holding my breath just waiting for AF. Are you going to test? I think if I don’t get full flow AF by Monday I’ll have to cave 😂 sorry by the way I just scrolled up and read that you had already said that - didn’t mean to make you repeat yourself!! Funny about your coffee too - seems like a good sign, I’ve felt sick the last few days but I’ve put it down to this sticky weather. Best of luck x

@Welliedays sounds promising! Everything crossed.

@Nam095 @Amy259 @Cosmo29 Everything crossed for you guys too. Definitely not over til AF arrives.

Keep us updated.
