3rd TWW..

[MrsPod]

I'm nearing the end of the TWW, theoretically I should be due in 4 days' time. We had an interesting month, with a load of spotting right through my really fertile phase (managed to DTD once the day before the phase started and once during but that was it) probably all due to stress because we moved house. Finding it hard not to symptom spot now. I have endometriosis so usually have cramps by now, and I've not had any yet. With my son I had cramping pains at about 6 weeks pregnant which were horrible to go through because we'd had so many MCs before that, I knicker checked like it was going out of fashion.

I have just changed my mind about dinner tonight because I can't face the thought of what we were going to have and feeling nauseous but that could be nothing. Argh stop symptom spotting! Xxx

Ooo good luck MrsPod though, I hope you are right and they're all good signs.

I'm the same - I'm only 3dpo (I think) but I'm noticing loads of different things, which I know can't be symptoms as it's way too early - but it doesn't stop me noticing them. This two weeks can't end soon enough

I find symptom posts really interesting as I really like to know what other people are feeling around ovulation time. I'm currently 7 dpo and have been feeling pinching and tugging in my lower abdomen for about 4-5 days now. Trying not to get my hopes up and could just be the ovulation process but haven't noticed these feelings before.
I haven't felt any breast soreness tho so will just have to wait now... The worst part for sure!!
Fingers crossed for you

Ooh seeing a lot of good signs on this thread. Tugging at 7dpo is especially promising! As for me I'm exhausted today but I had to get up at 4am so that'll explain it! Honestly I don't feel any different but wouldn't really expect to at 4dpo... Symptom spotting gets more fun for me at about 7dpo when there's actually a chance I'm not crazy hahah

Sorry ladies, I have been travelling for the past 24 hours with a +16 timezone change...

I am around 9 dpo, I feel quite nauseous throughout the day.. I had some cramping for the past 2ish days and I've been really bloated for the past 5 days or so (like my mom is asking if "I am already pregnant" bloated).. been super thirsty and have had this nasty metallic taste in my mouth for a couple days, gums sometimes bleed but not a lot.

Wishing loads of baby dust to all you ladies!

 

[Donna88]

Ooo wheeldon that sounds really promising. When are you testing?


5dpo here; still having the odd cramps, creamy cm and my boobs are starting to feel tender. It's all still too early so it must just be symptoms I usually have around this time but don't notice as much as I'm not looking out for them

 

[WheelDon2]

AF isn't due till the 8th but I think I am going to test on the 5th.. kinda a big day for me and would love some good news...

I've noticed that our minds can make up symptoms because we want it so bad.. it's so hard not to symptom spot!

 

[WinterWolf]

Good luck testing today! I've been feeling super tired all week but I think that's just because I've been busy.

I'm 6dpo (ish). Have been having really bizarre pains today. Its like someone has punched me in the uterus and its all swollen and achey. I have a pulled muscle feeling when I walk too. I've had AF cramps at this time before but this pain is definitely different. Good sign? Who knows...

 

[Donna88]

Fingers crossed that is a good sign winterwolf.

 

[WheelDon2]

Got this beauty this morning!!

 

[Donna88]

Congratulations

 

[WinterWolf]

Yayy congratulations!!!

Lovely! Congratulations! x

 

[WheelDon2]

Thank you lovelies!

10dpo today - yesterday I had some quite heavy spotting which I think has stopped now. It was bright red and not heavy enough to need more than a panty liner (but I went through 3 of them with it) ice now got cramps like AF.

Do you think it could be implantation or do you think AF is arriving early? If it is implantation when should I be able to test?

 

[Donna88]

Update on that; there was more blood after I've just had a No2 (sorry TMI) so I think AF is just on her way. I'll see how it progresses but I'm positive that's me out this month

 

[WinterWolf]

I was going to say it could go either way. Some women have implantation spotting for a couple of days. Fingers crossed for you x

Im 9dpo now. Have strong AF cramps now so I'm probs out too.

 

[Donna88]

Thanks winter wolf; we'll see. I think I'm going to expect AF and if she doesn't come in full flow then that's a good sign. Feeling very disappointed though, it would be great if she did hold off and it was implantation

 

[Donna88]

Hope it's not you out either; I thought the first week of the wait was awful with the pretend symptom spotting; this second week is worse as AF is so imminent and the symptoms are stronger and pointing that way

 

[WinterWolf]

Yes! The first week is way easier for me. I always know that I'm out by 8dpo because that's when the cramps start, but I try and convince myself there's some hope.

Honestly I think the unspoken 2WW between AF and ovulation is much worse though.
