The Amazing 2ww!!!!

[jennyfer976]

Ok ALL of us wonder what the 2ww symptoms of pregnancy would be! But its been established that AF symptoms often mimic BFP and also sometimes the symptoms are all in our heads! So lets hear it!!!

A list of running symptoms experienced during 2ww

A list of pregnancy symptoms!!

A list of symptoms that trick us!!

My 2ww typical BFN symptoms include: 1-3dpo twinges/slight cramps 3-5dpo gas, swollen bb's, bloat, 5-12dpo on and off cramps, twinges, swollen bb's, sore bbs, moodiness, tiredness, anxiety (will I get a BFP?). 12-13dpo hunger, 5 pounds of excess water weight/bloat, boobs sore, tired, sometimes a headache, moody, cramps. 14dpo cramps, agitation, usually hungry, gas, AF.

Ok ladies lets hear yours! Whether you want to give BFN or BFP symptoms its up to you! But this will be a helpful reference to all ladies during their 2ww to reflect back on:)

if your gonna test early wait till day 14, if not just wait for af. you will drive yourself nuts if you start testing at 11dpo

So what day is the best day to test??? 14dpo or just wait till day AF is due to arrive today is 11dpo..

I'm on day 7 after my IUI and today felt weird period cramps. My husband isn't helping. He says I look different (glowing) and won't let me go ice skating tonight worrying I'll fall (um...dude, used to play hockey with men for 3 years; falling isn't really happening). Between him and my weird symptoms, part of me thinks I am but I also get weird period-like symptoms when we weren't trying.

Gaaaaaggghh! One more week to go!

[jennyfer976]

Ok getting towards the end of the wait hopefully the next few days will be good. I am feeling like AF could show. Its so predictable so so very predictable lately. I hate that, kind of ruins it. Wish my body didn't do the exact same thing every month lol. Good luck ladies!!!

haha, Yall crack me up!   Its been several months since I've been in the TWW (with the surgery and all!) but I remember swollen sore BB's bloating, of course craving foods and nauseated! but thats every month! So don't know what to expect if i got a BFP! I'll be on progesterone so i've told myself that i just cant' read into every symptom this  month! ha! i'm sure that wont' happen!  I'm 1dpo now!! Its gonna be a loooong TWW!!!   GOOD LUCK to all of you and keep us updated! : )

No symptoms here either except feeling fat and bloated, one of those unpleasant symptoms i usually get EVERY month before AF. I swear I weigh 110 all month, then I am 1 week away from AF and I GAIN like 10 pounds. Then on my 1st day of AF it all just disappears. I have no idea why. Its annoying. Ok listen to me complain. Geeze.

New symptom!!!~MOODY lol.

Ok everyone I wish you all GOOOD LUUUUCCCCKKK and BBBBFFFFFPPPPP's!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for all
xoxxoox

ps. if anyone else knows what this bloat is about or how to not have to deal with it like this every month, fill me in!!

Good luck to you!!!!
I have no symptoms but I am still hoping...

I'm 8DPO.  Starting on 4DPO I had a "hung over" feeling, like I had too much to drink the night before (but I haven't had any alcohol!)  6-7DPO I was dizzy/lightheaded & the whole time I've been exhausted, with sore bbs. I am taking progesterone suppositories.  So, if AF shows up this weekend, I'll know whether the progesterone is causing these symptoms or maybe I'm just fighting off a cold !!!  :)  We'll see...

[Anya1984]

You are reading my mind! I feel the same way! You want to hope you are pregnant and then you think that it will be a long road......That sux..Today is my 7dp IUI and I haven't had real symptoms, but most of the girls say it is in our head and we always want to relate it to preg. symptoms...SO Iam trying to take it easy and just do my regular job but of course, everyday I think whether I am pregnant......
Its like I don't believe in my luck if it comes or not.....I am more pissimistic about it....:(

[maybebaby29]

I'm on day 5 after IUI and yesterday I felt the crampiness and my emotions were all over the place. I was really crabby then anxiety then almost crying. But that's what my normal hormones do. It's so hard for us who go through it because we always want to think "it's because I"m pregnant?!" This 2ww (first time doing it) is just horrible. Part of me wants to feel it worked since 50 million sperm went up there (to me that seems like a really, really good chance) but I never have the greatest luck so deep down inside I have a feeling this is going to be a long road.

When I got the BFP last month (we M/C 2 weeks ago), the only symptom I had was a nervous breakdown on 7dpo. I MEAN BAD!!!! I just bawled and bawled at my birthday party at my in laws (wait - it gets better) when my niece made me bang my head on a cabinet - it didn't even HURT! I just kept crying and crying and begging my DH to take me home. I just wanted to go home! 2 days later I got a beta test (3.99 HCG) - doc didn't even consider me pregnant yet! But DH and I got into a fight that same night as the party and I ripped into him! Told him to pack his &^%$ and get out. Was pretty sure I was preggo at that point because (we hadn't done the beta yet) because the EXACT same thing happened with my ex. We were ready to file - baddddd fight - and the next day - BAM! Pregnant! So my body does not do well when it comes to hormones. That month was the only month I didn't have any symptoms at all (besides the nutsoness around 7-8 dpo). Every other month I had all this cramping and tiredness and backaches - classic symptoms. But nope - the no symptom month was our BFP.

On a side note - if anyone uses anything other than first response tests - SWITCH! I got a faint + with 3.99 HCG (I SWEAR! I POAS before I had my beta done an hour later!) and I will not use anything else :) My $ store tests didn't pop up + until around 35 -40 HCG. I am using them now to monitor my HCG dropping from the miscarriage and I had a level of 38 the other day and a faint line on $ store tests.

So, just my two cents :) Hope this helps anyone!!

Yeah!  I hear ya!  I would say 1-3 dpo twinges and pains in ovaries and then 1 week later sore bbs, hunger, very tired and usually a headache.  This ALL comes before AF.  I know last month (my first month on clomid and timed intercourse) I had cramping and pain 8-9 dpo which made me think I had implantation pain...and of course, like I said, bbs!  But I have to say that the sore bbs is a HUGE symptom because with it being a pregnancy symptom your nipples are extremely sore!!!  And I mean you have to wear a bra when you go to bed so they don't rub!  With PMS and sore bbs it is your whole breast that hurts.  It is a big difference!  Good luck and I can't wait to hear everyone elses!  I am getting ready to do my first IUI this Sunday or Monday and just finished taking 100 mg of clomid a day for five days yesterday.  Everyone cross their fingers for me!
