Anyone else struggling with symptom spotting during the two week wait

Is anybody else going insane in the TTW I honestly am trying not to symptom spot. But I also don’t even know if I have any symptoms at the same time. All I know is I really want a family and this is driving me insane

Me! 🥲 I'm driving myself mad.

I'm currently about 6DPO and have period pains which are radiating down my inner thighs. Feeling pretty uncomfortable but I had really intense cramping with my early pregnancy with DD5 too, wondering whether that could be it this time?

I’m 8DPO today and all I’ve got is period pains too. My breasts are always tender before a period but they’re not this time but I do keep thinking or is that only a couple of days before hand🫣😩

Hi Honey,

Im 3/4dpo and by now I’d usually had PMS breast pain but my boobs are just normal. Hoping it’s a sign.

I’m praying it’s a sign. I never thought I’d be this woman when TTC that would over analyse everything. Just want it to happen😢🤞🏼

I don’t track temps but I’m much warmer this morning.
Feeling positive 🤗

🤞🏼 my CM has gone back to how it looks when ovulation approaches as in thin & watery google says that’s more of a sign of a period 👎🏼

I still have some mild cramping, feels more like pressure than period cramps but barely noticeable really. I'm hoping to hold off testing until Friday

Honey6743 · 16/06/2026 08:19

I did a test this morning I think I’m 8DPO/9DPO if my CM was right. And it was a BFN 👎🏼

Hey @Honey6743 8/9 DPO is still early 🤞🏻

Honey6743 · 16/06/2026 20:13

I’m praying I’m praying my temp dropped though so I’m not sure

I’ve had constant dull aches on my left ovary area all day. Had a short flight for work and was able to count 20+ twinges in 55mins. They still persist this evening.
Still no sign of the PMS heavy painful boobs…
Dry EWCM.
Nothing else to report as yet.

Honey6743 · 16/06/2026 22:22

I’ve got dry CM too, cramps, a few spots nothing else other than a negative test

What’s really noticeable for me is the lack of the heavy weight rock solid boobs by now. My left cramps lasting a few seconds each appear to have subsided. Also noticed is stink of body odour under arm. I’ve still ages to go till I can test, I reckon I’m 5/6dpo today.
Will report back later! 😅
