Hi all, I'm 11dp3dt and wondering if what I've experienced during my 2 ww is normal. (If there is a norm!) I had tugging sensations around my ovaries on the 4th and 5th day past my ET. I had a lot of thirstiness/hunger and a feeling of fullness. I also have had bloating that goes up and down. On 7dpt I had some really bad cramping---not exactly like AF pains. Instead sometimes the pains were quite intense and sharp and seemed to be more on the left side. Then on 8dpt, there was nothing aside from some twinges. I have had very few sensations (cramping, twinges) since and not feeling anything at all makes me wonder what's going on. Is it normal to not feel much of anything? I have had no bleeding so far. Any thoughts on this?
Hi, I know how the dreaded 2ww goes, I am in the 2ww til my u/s and it is just as stressful. I had all the symptoms you are talking about with my bfp. With my bfn I had headaches for 4 days (10dpt - 14dpt) and spotting on day 11 and 14 with AF on 15dpt. I never had any twinges or cramps or pulling. I think poas stressed me out thus the headaches so this time I waited to poas the day before my beta, to be prepared. I think everyone has a little different symptoms but we all know exactly what the waiting and not knowing feels like, the pending doom or the pending joy. Good luck.
Hi there, thanks for your response Bettygary and congrats on your pregnancy. I agree that the 2ww is a hugely stressful time. I've had so many sensations it's hard to know what they mean, if anything!
Hi Melissa, how are you doing? My experience is that everything is normal (sorry not much help!) My first BFP I felt pregnant (mainly it was the fullness feeling which was very different from all my BFN's), my second as well, my third I felt nothing (and was convinced it was a bust). There's just no way of knowing, and you're just PUPO! I know the second week of the 2WW is the absolute worst. I drove my DH crazy every single time. All the best to you.
Hi Natasha, thanks, I am hanging in there. I bought a HPT two days ago but so far it's still in the box. I think that I will probably do it in the next day or so before I go in for my beta so I am somewhat prepared for what the outcome might be. I had a whole host of weird sensations going on last week but this week, not so much. I don't think that I feel quite as "full" as I did last week although it's hard to say for sure since I think there may be part of me that has adjusted to feeling a little larger and now I'm not noticing it as much! On the weekend I had a little bit of AF feeling crampiness but then it went away. Right now, I feel quite normal. I have been extraordinarily tired though--- 7:30 is my bedtime! But I also think that this could be the Progesterone! It is a bit of a guessing game! Maybe tonight will be the night when I actually "cave" and take the HPT. We'll see....It's sort of like checking a lottery ticket--you want to but don't want to.
