^hello^

I thought it would be good for girls like me on the 2ww who are reading into every little symptom!

Started as I'm experiencing something new, I'm sat on a chair and I feel as though I'm spinning and about to tip off! ^scared^

I didn't know I was on the 2ww at the time as by some miracle I fell naturally but I was really moody and snappy and was very convinced that af was on her way because I had really strong af pains.  It was just like my usualy PMT symptoms only much much worse.  Best wishes to all of you on the  ^2ww^

I think this just goes to show, there is no definitive answer on symptoms eh!! I was so sure mine had failed with the backache, spotting etc that i spent the day before my +ve in tears!!!!!!

Thanks girls.  I keep coming back to this poll  :-*

Good luck everyone  ^reiki^  ^reiki^  ^reiki^

Hiya,

I had nausea very early but that's because there were twins to start, other than that no other systems.

Okay,

I've had two 2WW so far and am now on my third.

On my first, positive one I had lots of twinges/af pains all through but ALSO had giddiness, extra hunger and extra sharp sense of smell which gave me clues I was pg, but these signs only appeared in the 2nd week.  I got a faint positive from day 12.

On my second, negative one I was sure it hadn't worked from the start.  I got bad af pains from about day 8 and started to bleed on day 12.

I'm now on my third 2WW and am on day 6.  Have been feeling starving (which I also always do pre af) and did have some af pains earlier today. 

It is very very hard as lots of very early pg signs are the same as af signs.
If I feel dizzy/sharp smell though, I'll be getting excited.  Here's hoping.  I don't want to go through this again....

love to all,
IMogen.x.

ps if you bleed DON'T give up! I had a number of bleeds during the first 12 weeks with my ds.

I had a BFP last year [miscarried at 4 mths], and kept a diary but I now notice that I get all those symptoms almost every cycle anyway. The one thing that stood out for me in the 2WW that I got BFP was that I did NOT get any sort of headache. Most 2WWs I get maybe one day of eye ache or head ache.

Im sitting here with a headache on day 13 passed OV and feeling very very low as Ive had all the nausea, boobs, dizziness, itchy skin..... and just got a BFN. I will test again tmrw but wiht this headache not looking good.

Good luck.

Hi,

I've had 2 2ww's - 1st one bfn & second bfp. My symptons were the same both times - period type pains, spotting & bloating. I was therefore convinced 2nd cycle hadn't worked. Only difference was the cycle that worked i had nightsweats about 10 days after the transfer.
Good luck
love
Lou
