The two week wait

[Anniewayte91]

Hello, going slightly mad so just want to hear some of your stories… currently in the two week wait and due on today, been feeling like I’m coming on for 3 days now, cramping for 3 days straight. Did anyone else feel like they were coming on their period and then get a bfp? I did a test yesterday and was negative :( I was about 9dpo and hear people get their positive all the time on 9/10dpo. Feeling a bit rubbish getting a negative yesterday but guess I’m not out until AF shows her ugly head

I had period type cramps leading up to my bfp. Loads of ladies don’t get their bfp until 12/13DPO. Personally I wouldn’t do any more tests if you can, wait for your missed period & then rest. It really does save a lot of heartache with negative tests. Be strong 🤞🏼🍀

Did you ever just get one sided pain? Most of my pain has been in the left side some times migrating to the right and my back. Sorry for tmi but did you have any watery cm? I feel like I’m just symptom spotting but it’s so hard not to x

@Anniewayte91 yes one sides pain is likely the corpus luteum (cyst) that the egg came from. With regards to CM it wasn’t reliable to track for me as it changed every month in the tww when I wasn’t pregnant. These were my early signs.

Early Symptoms
5DPO:
Weird tummy muscle spasms I could see my tummy moving below my belly button & to the right. Sharp shooting pain in same place woke me up in the night.

6DPO:
11am had lots of stabbing shooting pains in lower abdomen.

9DPO:
Bit constipated. Very vivid dream.

10DPO:
Very bloated. Very vivid dream.

11DPO:
Boobs feel a tiny bit tender if I push them. Got that low down AF ache feeling. Got that same twitch feeling in the same place & had shooting pains on knicker line.

12DPO:
Achey tummy down low. Ovary twinges. Lots of cramps down low. Some muscle spasms in upper abdomen. Tender nipples but not at bad as ovulation time. Lots of gassy bubbles in tummy & wind. Diarrhea.

13DPO:
Boobs hurt in the middle when I push them. Muscle spasms just below ribs & loads of twinges & cramps down low. Bit of diarrhoea.

14DPO:
Tummy muscles feel pulled when I stretch up. Feel like I have stitch.

15DPO:
Tested positive after missed period.

Notes:
*I didn’t notice any difference in my CM to any of the 3 previous months I was tracking it.
*I didn’t get any implantation bleeding

Hope this helps x

Thank you!! I have literally just had sides cramps and sore boobs so not convinced this month but I guess everyone is different x

Yes I felt like I was coming on my period, I decided to test at 11 DPO and got a faint line from then. Good luck!

What symptoms did you have? Just the normal cramps etc?

I am due AF today.

I had really weird cramps on Thursday eve (11DPO), not so much like period cramps but more gassy and bloating cramps which I get around ovulation. So much so, I convinced myself that I was ovulating! Took a ov test and the line was pretty dark. Strange. I went to sleep feeling v uncomfortable and woke up with the same.

Friday morning sat at work it twigged that ov tests can get confused with pregnancy hormones so went to get a test and got a blazing positive at 12DPO.

Your hormones really ramp up once you have implanted and cause a myriad of strange things to happen, but then again PMS symptoms are also very similar.

@Anniewayte91 I had cramping every day, nausea started at 9dpo (I have HG though) and my boobs started hurting from 10dpo

I did the same as the above poster, I kept taking ovulation tests and from 10dpo the line started to get darker, 11dpo was even darker so that's why i took a pregnancy test

Congratulations!! I just hate the waiting part. I’ve had period like cramps now for three days on and off along with sore boobs and tmi but water discharge. I know I’m just symptom spotting but it’s hard not too. I’ve been following the app flow and my last few cycles have been 28 days so should be due today. My cramps started on Friday which was 9dpo but then it’s close to my period date so who knows. Just hate the waiting x

Also took a test yesterday which was negative but if I started with implantation on the Friday (9dpo) would it not show up on the test? I used one of clearblues blue tests x

Ahh, have you tested since 9DPO?

I have sore boobs, I'd say that's the only other symptom I have, I'm still very bloated and crampy today.

Good luck! 🤞

No haven’t tested anymore I’m too scared. Think I’m going to try and wait a few more days. Feel quite hot which is a usual sign of my period :( x

I just had like period cramps, in my belly and back.
Didng think anything of it.
Had a bottle of wine to myself after my first day at my new job... yep the bottle..

Woke up next day realised i was currently 2 days late. Ended up testing got my bfp!

You dont always have to have strange symptoms! Good luck x

Was your cramps after your period was late? I just seem to be getting left sided cramps at the moment with sore boobs. Can’t remember cramping for 3 days on and off near my period though so fingers crossed x

No it was before my period was late too, so the build up to coming on i had cramps

For me it was a lack of cramps which i usually get before my period. tested 12 dpo and faint positive. it's really unlikely to get bfp at 9 dpo. 🤞 for you. and keep your patience. the waiting up to 12/13 weeks is a hellava lot worse than the two week wait

I’ve got cramps and going on and off for four days now with sore boobs, literally feel like I’m going to come on. Oh I know! I felt like that with my son, didn’t have any symptoms with him but I guess every pregnancy is different x
