Anyone starting their 2 week wait today ish and want to obsessive symptom spot ?

[mousemole]

Month 3 of ttc and hoping it will be my lucky month . Day 14 today and am ovulating so lots of bd'ing. Now the dreaded 2 week wait ! Anyone else got similar timings ?

Right then, who's testing this week?

CD 25 for me and I have thickening white CM (TMI?), a stuffy/bloody (not bleeding though) nose and intermittant headaches.

Googling like mad. In fact, I am just mad. Last cycle was 29 days, before that 34, before that I was on the pill. Planning to test end of this week. Had a load of ebay cheapies and two CBDs. Just got to wait now....

Happy Monday all!

I am 25 + 10 Curly, I am day 23 and will test on wed morning. Got a stash of cheapie tests so we will see but not feeling hopeful ! Move house on thursday and I am wondering if something as big as that can take my mind off the 2ww. BTW, do any of you share this madness with your dh/dp's ? First cycle we obsesively symptom spotted together, then he got bored so now I don't tell him anything ! Infact I have already told him I am not pregnant this month.

mousemole My DH told me all my symptoms were in my head caused by wishful thinking - oh he paid for that comment y'day after the bfp!!

Are you all ready for the house move on Thursday? It is a pretty big thing and very stressful so theres a good chance you may find yourself thinking boxes and vans rather than 2ww and testing.

Hi Curly Happy Monday to you too!! I don't think you're mad at all - I'm googling everything too!!

Hi all. I'll be testing next weekend, most likely. AF is due on Sunday, but was a couple of days early last month and I had spotting leading up to it, so I'm hoping I'll know pretty early if it's another BFN for this month.

Still not much in the way of symptoms, so I'm preparing myself for that BFN. Only thing I could tentatively point at is a bit of cramping earlier, which might have just been hunger. I think my chest has been a bit tender since the start of the weekend, too... But it's likely it could all be in my head. Or that it's just a regular symptom for this point in my cycle and I never paid attention before!

Good luck to everyone else testing! And bleh, Mondays aren't happy... Means it's another five days of work until the weekend!!

hi kaylo, my dh thinks the same thing and I have to confess to feeling a bit cycle when on 2 cycles I told him I was definitely pregnant as my nauseau was soooooo bad !! Felt a bit silly when the bfn's came ! . Spirael, AF is due for me on sunday as well - it's going to be a long week isn't it !

POAS today ( day 24) and got a BFN. Its probably too early but I had to pee on something ! Symptoms- afternoon headaches, really bad wind and indigestion, boobs a bit bigger and seem to be a bit more veiny on right boob, feeling peaky.
How's everyone else doing ?

snap mole I peed on day 25 and regretted it! It was DH's idea though - wasted CBD.
Got the headaches (plus congestion). Bad wind etc - but nothing new there! Problem is, for me many of the symptoms are normal, because of other conditions. A few sharp pains through my bits last night though. Could be impending period, or wind, but I'm hoping for something more!

Waiting till weekend now

hi curly, yes all these symptoms could be due to other things couldn't they. In my case probably stress of the impending house move ! When are you next testing again ?

not quite decided. Think I'll start with some cheapies on Friday and save my CBD!

hi all

haven't been on for a while, trying to stay away a little bit as went a bit doo-lallie last cycle.

CD28 is friday but last cycle i didn't get my period untill day 39 so not sure where I'll be this month.

No symptoms at the mo but then didn't get any with dd. only had that little bleed on day19.

I don't tell my dh anything, he thinks i'm mad enough as it is. I told him yesterday that my period is due in the next week and the only response I got was "oh great". He's in denial I think.

Anyway good luck ladies, hopefully some good news should start coming along soon

CBD's are so bloomin expensive aren't they. This month have decided not to get one unless there is a feint line on a cheapie.
Trying to remember when I got a BFP with the other DC- think day 26 or 27.

hellooooooo

CD22 here - I had period type pains yesterday and again this evening, have raging thrush (has been a definite system for my last two BFP's), am starving hungry despite having eaten my usual amount and am very very hormonal - not usual for mid cycle. Oh, and my boobs grew during yesterday and are now nicely filling my C cup (which they weren't before !) Usually, they grow a bit post ov but I've never known them start to grow at 8DPO

Sooo, getting quietly excited but will sit on my hands till at least Sunday. Am working away on a very very mad project that is going to require 16 hour days this week - enough to keep my mind off it

CB are expensive but so worth it at times. My bfp not showing up on cheapies yet cos AF wasn't due til Thurs, CB just v.sensitive so picked it up sooner, I have no patience

Jools sounding good for a BFP this month.

Got my fingers crossed for all of you

Jools - getting very excited for you ! My boobs look more veiny and a little bigger but seem to go up and down through the day !
Kaylo - remind me what day of your cycle you got a bfp with CBD ?

Hi Mouse I was CD 25 when I got a bfp and my usual cycle length is 29days.

Hope this helps

Ok, I might have to start obsessing a bit more now.

2 days ago I had some sharp cramps and then today I've woken up with lots of cm. kind of slippery but not the same as ov cm, iykwim. More creamy but not as creamy as at other times am i making sense?

Also, comepletely gone off alcohol which for me is just unheard of + very achey left leg. It feels very sensetive to the touch and aches all the time. I had something similar from about 28wks weeks with DD.

I've gone back through the thread to look at other info re cm and firstly I am getting excited by the other reports of cm spotting and secondly am surprised by how many BFP's there have been.

I can't test for a while as I won't put myself through the dissappointment, plus I don't have any in the house just to make sure.

Curly are you testing today?

oooh - sounds good Snowbunny What CD are you on ??

I convinced myself yesterday that I was definitely PG and feeling implantation - felt really excited and happy. Doubted myself this morning, but now have slight abdomen twinges and am starting to wonder again .

I resolved not to symptom spot this time as it just means I come crashing down when AF arrives, but I just can't help it

My name is Joolsiam and I'm a symptom addict

I think I'm the same as you, Joolsiam. I was trying not to think too much on everything, but on Monday I was having what felt a lot like period pains or like I'd been doing waaay too many stomach crunches. I was partially convinced that AF was going to jump me a week early, rather than just two days early like last cycle. But temps are still up and no trace of her.

I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated, but my temperature checking puts it at around the 30th August. DH and I made sure to cover most of the week surrounding then with the necessary antics, so there's a chance. I guess I'd have been on around 9dpo on Monday... Does anyone know if that sounds about right for possible implantation? And traces of blood isn't a necessary feature, is it?

The cramps had faded away by Tuesday and now I'm back to feeling pretty much normal again. (My shoulder hurts, but I think I just slept on it weirdly!) So I'm not entirely sure whether Monday's discomfort was all in my head, or what! No other symptoms at all, at present.

I keep jumping between optimistically hopeful to being more pessimistically pragmatic. I'll feel like a bit of a fool if I go running around all excitedly only to have AF sneak up and bite me over the weekend, after all!

Has anyone tested yet? I'm so tempted to pick up some First Response in town today, but then I convince myself it's a waste of money and I may as well wait until the weekend to see if anything comes up on the Tesco cheapies.

Good luck Spirael I'm 9DPO today

I had one BFP when all I was was brown implantation bleeding at 13DPO and one where I had red spotting at around 7DPO

Looking back on my notes of the 2WW leading to a BFP this time last year, I noticed my first real symptoms at 8DPO (fizzy, hot nipples), then nothing till 11DPO when I felt a poking sensation near my belly button. So, I think it is pretty normal for symptoms to come and go. I don't seem to be feeling much now, so am doubting myself again !

Just started TTC. Wish me luck!

snow no, not testing today. After being conned into it yesterday, I'm hanging back. Last two cycles (first off the pill) were 34 and 29 days. It's day 27 today, so I'm going to wait a bit - and stick to cheapies when I start! (I have several)

However, I am starting to experience period-like pains. across hips, round lower back and into pelvis, plus wetness, so am frantically knicker checking - more to prevent damage to nice cream trousers than anything else!

Good luck all of you - and welcome and luck to tish

Cm tinged red and cramps - pretty sure period is on its way. Bugger! I will have to step away from the 2ww thread at this rate. But will test tomorrow is AF not made a proper appearance.

All is not lost curly It could be implantation

Sorry, I'm a serial lurker and want to see how you all get on

xxxx

Aww shucks kaylo it's good to know you care. Hope you and the bean are well. Can implantation happen so close to when period is due and hurt like it too? (please, delude me a little longer!)

Well I read about it and it says can happen 1-2 days before AF due - so I guess it can

I still have AF type cramps so thats normal too

fingers crossed!!!
