Hellobee Boards

I think the fatigue and hunger might be too soon to be symptoms, but combined with the breast tenderness sounds promising! I my breasts were sore about a week before I got my bfp, so just check again in a few days. Good luck!!

Welcome and The two week wait is agonizing. I'm pretty sure I'd go crazy without everyone on HB. We'd love to have you join us on the September POAS:

Welcome and best of luck to you! If you don't get pregnant this cycle, charting and OPK's might be very helpful for you. I get ewcm starting at day 9 or 10 but don't ovulate until cd 13 usually. This time not until cd17!! So you may not be ovulating as early as you think... But then again you might be!

Welcome! You will find great advice in both current and past threads. Good luck!

@travellingbee: Totally agree, I sometimes get EWCM waaaaay before O.

My advice is to assume you're going to test negative, but treat your body like you're pregnant just in case.

With my first TWW, I was certain that I'd get a BFP. I had sore breasts, fatigue, and slight nausea, and my husband and I are both in our late twenties and fairly healthy (and we did a LOT of BDing!). When I tested negative, I was very upset. For the second TWW, I didn't expect it to be positive, so the BFN wasn't nearly as disappointing.

Good luck!

@MrsBananaGrabber: Agreed! My strategy was to treat my body well, just in case I was pregnant, but otherwise to just assume I wasn't. I made a pact with myself early on that I wouldn't POAS unless I was actually late. On our 3rd month of trying, I did not "feel pregnant" at all, but I ended up a couple of days late. I tested, and sure enough, there were two super dark lines.

Welcome!!! What an exciting time! My best advice is to to try and relax and have fun with it. I know it's hard and annoying advice. But it can take a long time although of course I hope it happens quickly for you!!!

@Lolarelli: First off, welcome to HB!

Ugh, it sounds like it could be spotting before AF, if you usually spot and sometimes have cycles around 25 days long?? It's impossible to know for sure though. There's a chance it could be implantation bleeding...I've heard it can be read. Sounds like you will know for sure in a couple of days (if the suspense doesn't kill you first)!

The crappy thing about the first 2ww is that you probably never paid as close attention to your body during that time period before, so it's impossible to know what's normal PMS and what's not. It would probably be a good idea for anyone TTC months down the road to track their symptoms for a couple months first to know what is normal! I wish I had done that! I am struggling with the same thing currently in my tww. This is technically my 3rd tww, but I got pregnant both times before (mc the first time, my now 21 mo old the second time), so I don't know what is normal for me and what is not. I've been having a lot of cramping/bloating that feels reminiscent of my first 2 pregnancies, but maybe it happens that way every month and I just never paid attention?! The not knowing is so hard, I feel your pain!

@Lolarelli: what does your pre-cycle spotting usually look like? red? brown?

I personally feel Wondfo type test strips are often more sensitive than FRERs (First Response Early Result)... I would say FRERs are the most sensitive of the regular tests. Digitals are usually less sensitive.

@Lolarelli: Strange! I wish I had answers for you... sounds like it could be implantation, CP, or AF (behaving strangely). I hope things become more clear in the next few days.

@Lolarelli: Good luck!
