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?

@Kty09

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

It is so hard not to become completely wrapped up in it isn't it?! I have been trying to watch out for the clues by checking cervical mucous/position etc and find myself questioning every tiny symptom haha! But I am still none the wiser.

I think I might just do a few months of opks just to see what's what. I'll just not tell OH otherwise he will be accusing me of becoming obsessed...

Right, I think that’s me out for this cycle. I hoped the spotting I was having was implantation but its too heavy so has to be AF. That’s 5 days earlier than all my apps have said and earlier than any other month after ovulation.
Ive ordered some Soy Iso to hopefully bring ovulation forward (it was CD35 this time) and also vitamin C to take after ovulation as I’ve read it can help thicken the uterus during the luteal Phase - still taking Seven Seas TTC and have a pretty good diet so not too worried. It was only cycle 1 for me but I still feel incredibly sad. I know my OH is pretty upset. He had got it in his head that we were going to be lucky.
Good Luck and Baby dust to everyone still in this month 💜

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear that. It's so disheartening every month that goes by. I hope next month is the month for you.

I'd really recommend CoQ10 for ovulation. I am a late ovulater, and spent much of last year not ovulating at all. I take 600mg of CoQ10 a day and I've noticed a difference. I also take 100mg of b6 and b12.

Thanks @StarL2021

@BloodyHellAudrey I’ve not heard of women taking that, only men to increase their spent count. I’ll look into and maybe give it a go - I feel like I’m quickly entering the “throwing everything at it” phase and it’s still so early TTC 😂 thank you

Jumping in at 5dpo, only usual tww symptoms here. Been TTC since December 2019. Bfp in July 2020, lost DS2 at 21+4 in November. Chemical pregnancy in January. Fingers crossed for this cycle.

Right ladies, I dont care if I sound crazy or silly! This may be my last ever tww: if I'm not pregnant from our little contraception slip up, we will look at more permanent birth control. So this is my last ever tww, whether I am pregnant or not! So, I'm going to go all out symptoms spotting and peeing on sticks until I either get a BFP or my AF.

About 40 minutes ago, I got a very deep burrowing sensation in my left pelvic area, quite low down. It lasted about 10 seconds. It could be nothing, it could be something but it was very weird! However, I think I am 6 dpo. Our slip up was a week ago and I think I ovulated the next day, going mostly by my app and some physical symptoms.

I'm going to test on thursday or friday as I had a bfp by 10dpo with both my kids.

And the top and backs of my legs have been cramping today too. Let's see!

@BloodyHellAudrey I hope this is your month!

@Anonapapple eeeek! I've had a heavy sensation down below and burning nipples. My luteal phase is very short so expected spotting today but instead had lots of discharge.

@StarL2021 they seem hopeful symptoms 🤞🏼 Would this be your first pregnancy?

@Kty09 no this would be my second!! I don't remember having nipples these sore though so it's probably my period coming lol

@StarL2021 its mad trying to guess what is and what isn’t a potential symptom 🙈

Feel like I’m picking up every little twitch in my body 😂

So I tested today 7dpo... and it was negative. Why do I torture myself lol

Morning ladies! How is everyone feeling today?

I caved in and tested this morning. Of course it was negative! I had a dream last night that I got a positive test, I think that filled me with false confidence.

I am feeling crappy today...I always break out in cold sores when I'm feeling run down and this morning I have woken up with a lovely one. I also noticed last night my chest has become really spotty and my boobs have broken capillaries over them. Still not really having any breast discomfort though which is the main reason I am convinced it isn't my month.

I'm planning to leave testing now until next weekend. That will make me about cd30. Without knowing how many dpo I am there is really no point in getting myself down with negative result after negative result.

@Gnashaloulou sorry for your negative. Do you know roughly how many dpo you are? I have tested 7dpo and I have a negative result too. I'm so annoyed today as I feel like my period is coming. Cramping and moody and sore boobs.

@StarL2021 I haven't started monitoring my ovulation days because we are supposed to be taking the relaxed approach to ttc (yeah right haha!!) The apps I use suggest I am either roughly 3dpo or 9dpo...a big difference but i do feel as if I am the latter going by my symptoms etc. My last cycle was only 23 days and like you I also feel as if af is on her way. I've got the tell-tale cramps this morning and generally feel grumpy. Very typical for me just before period. I am currently cd20.

Sorry to hear about your negative result too. Here's hoping we get our bfps before too long!! Xx

Not too late ladies try again in a couple of days 🤞🏼 I’m determined to hold out but don’t know how long that’s going to last 😂

Soooo.... I had a rummage this morning and it seems my cervix is low and open. I also have creamy cm and with the cramps and mood and everything else I am definitely convinced AF is imminent. I'm not out until she rears her ugly head though so still holding onto a tiny bit of hope lol!

@Kty09 it is so difficult waiting!! I'm half tempted to ask you to test early just so I can get my poas fix courtesy of someone else hahaha!! How many dpo are you again?

I'm suppose to be due tomorrow but got a bfn. No spotting creamy discharge feel wet gassy and sensitive veiny heavy boobs. Hardly any period pains that I usually get. Maybe I ovulated later. I hade ewcm from the 30-3. Only dtd on the 31st. No holding onto much hope. My last pregnancy intested positive 6 days before a missed period! Plus only had 3 periods since coming of the pill in December. Between 26-28 days. Just wanna know now!! Lol

Also what tests are everyone using? I got some cheapie ones off Amazon

I used a FRER this morning. I was tempted to get some of the supermarket own brand ones but have read so many negative reviews about them. x

@Gnashaloulou 😂 I am 6/7dpo today.
I just read this good article which basically reminded me ‘stop being daft and thinking about every little thing this early’ it’s quite realistic and says how it’s normal to feel AF symptoms at this stage because of progesterone even if you are pg.

Of course you know your body best but felt like it might put me at ease for a few days x

@Kty09 that's a great article. It is so hard not to compare every cycle with the next. I feel like AF is coming but at the same time I'm having a few different symptoms. I've had no spotting which I would get by now and also had some twinges of pain behind my belly button. Of course it's probably PMS, but I am clinging on to the hope that we may get our bfp. It's been 8 months now I think. X

I usually have spotting 2-3 days before a period aswell and chronic cramps and back cramps. So far nothing and I'm due on tomorrow x
