2ww symptoms? « Back to Group Discussions

[XanaduMama]

The last few months, I've been obsessing over every little potential symptom during the 2ww...always turned out to be nothing, and this month, I actually stopped obsessing and was really surprised when I got the BFP yesterday! Just wondering whether anyone else was keeping track and wants to share.

Here were mine, in retrospect:

- loads of creamy, clumpy CM starting around 3dpo

- I got sick last week (very unusual for me): first a weird 1/2 day tummy bug, then a cold

- crazy insomnia and vivid dreams

- slight reduction in appetite and especially in my desire for alcohol (again, very unusual )

- I've also been quite clumsy lately, dropping lots of things

Not much else, though--even now, I feel a bit dizzy/nauseous, but no real symptoms as of yet. What about you?

I wasn't keeping track, but I sure was exhausted for a while. And forgetting everything! I was almost to the point of tears that I couldn't remember the simplest things.

I had creamy CM most days, too.

CRAZY sexual appetite for a few days. Like "helping myself out" while DD was napping, kind of crazy!

During the 2ww, that was pretty much it. But almost as soon as I got the BFP, my appetite and cravings for healthy food kicked in.  That and exhaustion.

Now I'm feeling nauseous most of the day, and SO forgetful. And my nipples are really really sensitive.

I think the main symptom for me was that after my peak day (I was charting) my CF never dried up, it just went down to creamy.  Now it's back to EWCF.  I was also mildly hungrier, but the real symptoms started after my positive test.

I just got my positive today, wasn't trying, but have kept track:

Nausea for about a week now (assuming I'm 15dpo today based on symptoms, so that puts me at 7dpo when it started, same with all of my pregnancies so far)
 

Bloody noses starting at a guessed 10dpo, same for DD2, only 9dpo

Frequent urination from about 7dpo (thought I was getting a kidney infection... which explained the nausea, frequent peeing and mid-back pain)

Cramping from about 13dpo (again, same with DD2, worst on 15dpo which is today and same... so yeah I seem to be regular with that)

LOL, I have had lots of 2ww symptoms on months when I wasn't pregnant, though!  This time, though, when I was, I had bb soreness starting at 3dpo!  Frequent and heavy urination started in that wait, too.  And one morning I woke up in my clothes after accidentally passing out at bedtime w my 2 yo, and sleeping like a baby without waking up once until morning.  That morning was 9dpo and that reason prompted me to test.

Hubby reminded me also: pregnancy brain is ALREADY in full swing (I keep forgetting what I'm saying midsentence) and I'm already starting to have the clumsiness (this being pregnancy brain clumsiness, I'm sure. I've burned myself twice already... and any day i'm going to fall. I do every pregnancy)

The only symptom I had was that it felt like I had the flu.  I was extremely weak and tired!  I was also into the 32nd day of my cycle.  It usually last 25-29 days.

My biggest symptom was very sore, growing and hard (ouch) breasts. Now I am waking up very achy all over my body. Other than that, not much else.

Two massive zits (I normally have pretty clear skin) at 5dpo. Horrible nausea starting at 7dpo. Sore boobs. Tested positive at 9dpo but it was pretty anticlimactic since the zit were a clue and the nausea was a dead giveaway.

Not familiar with the shorthand 2ww. However, creamy CF has been normal for me after my last pregnancy and still nursing so that has never been a sign for me. On the day my period was supposed to start I was feeling bloated, moody and just like my period was supposed to start (all my pregnancies start out that way). I did noticed I needed to wake in the middle of the night to eat and I needed to eat every 2 hours during the day. I also noticed my pregnancy/ mommy tea helped to make my stomach feel better. On the 4th afternoon with no flow, I tested almost instantly positive! I had a feeling for days I was pregnancy, but was still completely shocked with the BFP.

2ww = two week wait, the time between (possible) conception and being able to test!
