As the title suggests :) anyone need company for the TWW and to swap symptom swapping horror stories? Haha

yep. I have an old test in the cupboard and I’m resisting the urge to waste it today. I need to wake another week.

TwoWeeksislong · 15/08/2022 14:43

By boobs hurt and I have some lower back pain and bloating but I get all those things in the lead up to my period too.

Hi everyone I'm 10dpo today, had sensitive nipples last night in bed but seem to have gone down today, had dizziness, ravenous and been super unmotivated/lethargic.
I'm meant to be going on holiday with the girls on Thursday when AF is due so might test tomorrow or Wednesday!

Bit of a strange situation since if I am pg I will have conceived on the first date, I knew him from school though so not total strangers!

butterflyxo · 15/08/2022 16:21

Also had super bad cramps yesterday eve so not sure what's going on!

Hey, I'm also 7dpo and trying (failing) to resist urge to symptom spot. However, I've had a strange symptom which started yesterday... woke up super early desperate to pee and then almost immediately after felt like I needed to go again. It's been happening ever since, probably been 20 times today!!! No pain or anything just feels like a bit of pressure. Sorry if TMO! Aside from that I had minor cramps a few days ago. Have ordered some tests to be delivered on Thurs which should help me to resist the urge to test before 10dpo. Sending best wishes to you both hopefully this will be our lucky cycle. How long have you been trying for?

BabyMamma7 · 15/08/2022 16:25

Hi

7/8 dpo here...first cycle using clomid

Already tested 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Have sore boobs and a headache...both unusual for me but could be just because of the clomid

Helloooo! Ooooh, those seem like good symptoms. Do you know when AF is meant to be due?

Are you going to be happy if you are pregnant? :)

Oh wowwww haha that must be super inconvenient!!
Hopefully your cramps were implantation?? Fingers crossed for you :)

We had a chemical last August and then started trying again in Feb, so this is probably 8th cycle?? For #1. What about you?

Wow! You might be able to test already if you get a sensitive one. I hope your symptoms calm down so you can enjoy your trip!

@Flowersflowers121 I'm cycle 2 TTC#1. TWW is really not fun!! There is so much they don't teach you about this process. I naively thought it would be a case of DTD and Bam! Still early days though so staying positive 😊

Hahah yep, they drill it into you when you're young that unprotected sex = pregnancy don't they hahaha

:) keep me posted please of how you get on! I think my mind is playing tricks on me but I keep thinking I can smell things better like walking down the cheese aisle in sainsbury earlier and all I could smell was blue cheese (which I don't like haha)

I'm 5dpo, and would love some company. Cycle 2, TTC#1.

No symptoms that I can think of - besides some cramping, and my skin sucks (but, then again, it's been bloody boiling and I'm sweating 😂).

I'm sitting on my hands and not POAS until Sunday, at the absolute earliest.

Everything crossed we have some BFPs here in the coming days!!!

Hiii!!

I'm so glad it's cooler today hahah I am SO bad in the hot weather.

I've not had many symptoms either BUT I had really bad mood swings on Saturday and my DH said on Sunday that I had been a total b*tch hahahaha I don't usually get super moody or upset with just pms but who knows

Good luck waiting until Sunday! I'm going to test on Fri/Sat I think just because we're going away for our 1st wedding anniversary

@Flowersflowers121 Yes I'd be really happy although a little scared in all honesty! AF is due on Thursday :)

Woke up today with lots of thick cm, still no sign of AF. Do I test today ladies?!

Flowersflowers121 · 16/08/2022 09:24

Eeeeee, yes, I would test if it was me hehe but my patience is terrible hahaha

Let us know if you do!

OP posts:
butterflyxo · 16/08/2022 12:29

I might wait until tomorrow and test then, I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time. Was trying for a year with my ex partner but no luck, hoping this time it's a sticky bean ☺️

How is everyone feeling today? Any symptoms?

Had some painful cramping just now, hope it's not AF on her way :(

isitaline97 · 16/08/2022 12:38

I'd love to join! Lovely to read your comments ladies, I really hope to see some BFPs here! I'm a little earlier in the tww, around 3 or 4 dpo. I'm 25, TTC #1, cycle 1! I'm a complete newbie but have been tracking my cycle for years now and feel I know the lingo quite well 🤣

I've had 2 super vivid dreams of being pregnant or taking a test (positive) these past 2 nights!

All this waiting is getting me so impatient 🤦‍♀️ I'm playing it cool with my OH not discussing much about Symptoms especially since it's our first try 😂 so it'll be nice to share it with you guys! ☺️

isitaline97 · 16/08/2022 12:40

@butterflyxo really hope these cramps are a good sign for you and not AF x

Flowersflowers121 · 16/08/2022 12:50

Hiiii! Welcome :) how exciting. Vivid dreams are sometimes a good sign, so fingers crossed for you! Not too far behind us all :)

Yes, hope its a sticky bean for you @butterflyxo !! I've had a metallic taste and heartburn this morning as well as a bit short of breath but I'm not sure what that means if anything haha

Charl881 · 16/08/2022 13:08

Joining this thread as well, little later on than some of you as I’m 10dpo and with a BFN this morning so I think I’m probably already out but you never know. Hoping to see lots of BFPs on this thread!

@Flowersflowers121 metallic taste is a really good sign I'm sure! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. No major symptoms on my side, the weird peeing thing seems to have calmed down a bit now 🙌 although am still going a little more than normal. I'm starting to think it might not be my cycle. Keeping myself busy tho with lots of DIY on the house so trying not to think about it. Will test on Thurs.
