Hi all! Anyone else in the TWW? It is such a stressful time with so many questions. I wanted to share this great resource that has brought some reassurance: www.mamasconnected.com/post/two-week-wait-trying-to-conceive-pregnancy-symptoms-ttc
I am curious to hear about your symptoms prior to BFP. Best of luck to all! x

Hi @jennyc40

I'm in my first tww. 4dpo today and over analysing everything wondering. I know I shouldn't and I know I'm overthinking so I need to calm down but it takes over my day and the days are passing sooooo slowly!
I'll have a read of the article after work.

Hi!!
currently 6(ish) dpo, after taking a ttc break of almost a year! I’m doing a terrible job of tracking this month, I ran out of opk’s, had X2 lots of ewcm and my estimated tracker has a completely different date so who knows!
currently have mild cramps (lower back, lhs) but I’ve had kidney stones before so it could be that 😭. That would be a double blow, BFN and kidney stones 😂 Also interested in hearing all of your symptoms and FX for BFP’s!

Hello! This is my second month of TTC and currently waiting to see if AF will make an appearance this weekend. I’ve been feeling nauseous all day, my boobs are sore and I have mild cramping but these could all be PMS symptoms…. We shall see. Sending baby dust you way!

Bex7290 · 11/09/2022 17:25

How’s everything going with you all? Currently 11dpo, tested yesterday and got a bfn (way too early, I know).
Boobs more sore than usual today, abdo stabbing pains and very emotional today! Might retest in a few days!

😂😂 @Bex7290 I had terrible kidney stones before and I know exactly what you mean. Any time I get cramps in my lower back which I will some months around ovulation time and some months I wont- I immediately dread they've returned 😵 such a hideous time!! Hope you're keeping well!

From my static smiley OPK I reckon I'm 9dpo but one of my apps says 8 so I'm 9 because I want the tww over but when I'm negative no doubt I'll reassure myself I'm only 8 😊
I'm good, works busy which is a helpful distraction but I just want to know now so I don't wonder everyday. AF due this weekend. I don't really get PMS symptoms so I'm mostly none the wiser until the weekend.

Bex7290 · 11/09/2022 21:08

@Anna531 The fear is real right?! Not just me 😂
Strangely, I never used to think I got pms symptoms until ttc. I assumed I had pregnancy symptoms on my first cycle, now realising it was pms I didn’t pay attention to! Are you going to wait out to test?

Anna531 · 11/09/2022 21:39

The fear is very real. I called the Dr once concerned it was back... all came back clear. In hindsight I'm pretty sure it was ovulation for me and I hadn't put 2 and 2 together 🙈

I've had a few symptoms this cycle I don't normally get and that what I'm worried about. I'm paying so much more attention I think maybe they always happen and I'm just going about my day oblivious. I notice next to nothing in work and then in the evenings I'm noticing little things that really make me think I must be pregnant but it's probably because I'm actively sitting there checking in with myself.
No I definitely won't last until the weekend, I'm going to test tomorrow although very early and if I'm honest probably every day this week. Wondering kills me as much as seeing the negative. The negative settles me for the oddly.
What about you? Have you noticed anything different you don't normally?

Anna531 · 11/09/2022 21:40

*for the day oddly

blueberry23 · 11/09/2022 22:03

I got a BFP today 8dpo and I have zero symptoms which is a bit unnerving.

Except crazy nightmares actually - and I had this with #1 too!

Bex7290 · 14/09/2022 13:24

sorry for the late reply! Oh my goodness, been testing every day this week with BFN’s. Yesterday, my mood was all over the place but today had a faint BFP!! Cautiously pregnant as its an online cheapie so going to test again tomorrow morning!
Congrats @blueberry23! I had crazy dreams too!
@Anna531 I hope you bet the bfp 😊

Anna531 · 14/09/2022 17:30

Amazing @Bex7290 how many DPO are you? That's fantastic news!!! Well if its on the wee cheapie even better, it's a good strong line. Congratulations!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Bex7290 · 14/09/2022 19:37

@Anna531 thank you! Currently 14dpo, I did a clear blue digital this eve and it came back not pregnant- it was one of those how many weeks ones. I think I drank too much water and took it too soon in the evening. Will try again first thing in the morning!
took another 3 cheapies beforehand tho and they were all positive! We shall see 😊

Anna531 · 14/09/2022 20:46

Always nice to hear of a BFP @Bex7290 💗 congratulations.
@blueberry23 sorry I didn't read far enough back at first, Congratulations!!!
