Anyone in their 2ww and want to symptom spot?

[StarL2021]

I'm 5dpo and already feel like my period is coming. Lol... weird heaviness in my abdomen. Feel a bit moody. How about you?

Me! Rather unhelpfully though I don't actually know how many DPO I am! Could be either 8,9 or 10 or maybe even less! I've had a month off OPKs this month as it was stressing me out so just tried to DTD every other day and not think about it! I have long, irregular cycles so quite hard to track properly anyway!

Didn't use opks this month. When they arrived from Amazon they was damaged so I took a break! I had a gp appt on the 30th of March and she said I had a lot of fertile mucus so mustbof been ovulation. Me and partner dtd the next day in the early afternoon (sorry tmi) but had a lot of ewcm for about 3 days after so god knows when I ovulated. My cycle are still slightly irregular due to stopping cerazette in December so on average every 26 days. Since stopping the pill, pms has been my enemy! Only difference this month is I have creamy and sticky discharge and very heavy and veiny boobs and chest that I haven't noticted before! Due in 3 days but getting bfns :(

@Littlepoppet1 oh no that you don't know the exact dpo.. but to be honest it's probably better without the obsessive checking lol. Have you had any symptoms?

@Cheesestring19 do you have any symptoms?

I'm 5dpo. Heavy feeling down below. Sore swollen boobs but usually get cramping like this before my periods.

@StarL2021 yeah it takes the pressure off a bit! Im very bloated and have the feeling of needing to pre constantly when I don't need to. Also full of a cold which funnily enough was my only symptom when pregnant with my DD but she is also currently full of a cold so probably just caught it from her so would always of got it anyway 🤷‍♀️

*pee not pre!

Usually by now I'm in agony with strong period cramps. Just lower back pain. Usually no discharge but I have creamy lotion like discharge and feeling (sorry tmi) wet and heavy. Boobs feel heavier and lots of veins, sensitive nipples and I'm shattered. Also Iv had a right snotty nose since ovulation which I never get. Tested this morning and was bfn but I had ewcm from the 31st (when we dtd) until the 3rd so god knows when I ovulated

@Cheesestring19 @Littlepoppet1 how long have you both been ttc?

@Cheesestring19 ohhh I have similar symptoms. Will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days.

Good luck to you both!

I'm not actively trying nor preventing. I had a miscarriage in October at nearly 10 weeks so been confused since then. Do I? Don't I? Kinda situation.

Meeee! I'm 5dpo but am accidentally in the tww. We werent ttc but had an accident that I am very excited about 😄 chances are low that anything happened but I forgot how long the tww is!

Hey, I’m 11DPO and so paranoid every time anything happens. BFN today and on 9DPO but this afternoon I noticed some dark almost brown blood (sorry if that’s TMI) and as soon as I mentioned it to OH he said “implantation” which I guess it could be but also I don’t want to get our hopes up too much!

Me! I'm 4dpo and I hate the 2ww. Part of me would like to wait until AF is due to test but I know I won't be able to wait that long.

I have been noticing more cm than usual but that is all so far.

With my last pregnancy the only symptom I had was bursting out crying to a song on the radio, and even that's not totally out of character for me! I drank half a bottle of wine and smoked a few cigarettes one evening as I was so sure I was getting my period. In fact I dont even know why I tested before AF was due but the line came up straight away. I felt nothing weird at all! Looking back, nothing much with my son. I thought I had symptoms but I had a pregnancy scare a year ago and had all the same 'symptoms' but I wasn't pregnant at all. We really never do know!

My son was a different pregnancy, by the way!

@AllyCat31 I think you can reliably test 2 days after implantation symptoms!

@Anonapapple yeah I’ve heard there’s no HCG till implantation! I’m not sure now, it could be AF as it’s got a bit heavier but it’s still not like a normal period. It’s also 5 days early according to all my apps which isn’t like me at all. I guess I find out tomorrow! If it’s not AF then I’ll test on Tuesday. If it is AF, I’m having wine and chocolate before resetting for the next cycle!

I’m 4/5dpo today, currently off work for a couple of weeks which i am finding myself constantly reminded of the TWW and symptom spotting! Need to keep myself busy!
I’m assuming after reading up a lot that you wouldn’t necessarily feel any pg symptoms at this point! But that hasn’t stopped me 🤣 Really hoping this is our month cycle #3 TTC 1st time X

@Cheesestring19 I hope you get the results that you want

@Anonapapple what an exciting surprise

@AllyCat31 ohhhh fingers crossed. Some people do not get positives until their period is due. Do you usually get spotting before your periods? I spot for 5 days before sometimes more.

@GreenMeeple I'm 6dpo today. Sore boobs and a few twinges.

@Kty09 ohhhh the tww is so annoying! It's our month 8. Do you have any symptoms?

Also I just remembered I spot a few days before a period so so far nothing and I'm due on Wednesday. Just a lot of creamy discharge and constant wet feelin!

@StarL2021 I don’t usually spot if have any symptoms. Normally AF arrives and then I get cramps the next day. This has been pretty light and hasn’t got heavier over night but I have cramps. Not due till Wednesday/Thursday/Friday (depending on which app I use) but could still just be early. I hate the waiting haha

@StarL2021 my boobs feel fuller which is unusual for this point in my cycle, I was wide awake from like 4-5.30am this morning and usually sleep really well, during this time I felt some twinges. How are you feeling? I’m happy it’s Monday so I can test next week 😂 it’s my DP bday next week so if AF doesn’t come before I will test at 14DPO. 🤞🏼

My boobs are very sore which is unusual. 6dpo... your so good holding out until 14dpo. I will be testing from 8dpo. Lol. The last time I was pregnant I got a positive 9dpo.

Hi all! Can I join! I am in the 2ww but not sure exactly how many dpo. I am really new to this and have very little clue what my body is up to...I use fertility trackers but with a pinch of salt as my cycles have been a bit all over the place since I came off the pill in December.

According to Ovia I ovulated couple days ago (cd17) but my Samsung Health app tells me I ovulated around cd11. My cycle was 18 days January, 36 days February and 23 days March. So basically I have absolutely no idea what dpo I am!! I am in the 2ww somewhere though haha.

Not holding out much hope this month though; we only dtd on the 31st March and 6th April . Had a bout of nausea over the past week on and off, feeling shattered all of the time. Had the odd cramp here and there...but nothing that convinces me I've conceived unfortunately.

@Gnashaloulou have you thought about using ovulation strips? If you are unsure it could be a good idea to pin point ovulation and give you a better understanding and chance of catching the right time x

I have been tempted and I am sure I will cave and use them next cycle. Even if it's just to get to grips with what is going on down there. Tbh, we vowed not to actively ttc and start getting upset and frustrated if it didn't happen; we both have children from previous relationships and at 38 I thought I was done with procreating! My youngest is 10. But we would be very happy if we did get pregnant. I really didn't want to become obsessive about it but alas! Here we are!! x

Aw that’s lovely!! 😊 my OH still thinks we are taking the relaxed approach little does he know how much I look into things haha 😂
I do get the ‘just wanting to see if it happens’ but it just seems impossible 😬 I think I’m not going to track next cycle if this one is unsuccesful - I just found it good to find out the first two cycles I ovulated CD10 then this month was CD12 so I kinda knew we DTD at the right time this month x
