It almost felt like a muscle twitch you might get in your arm/eyebrow/wherever but different -- internal and more prolonged. The fluttering happened uncontrollably throughout the day and a half; it wasn't something I could think into being like nerves.</p> <p>It seems very odd that this new sensation didn't turn up until we pulled the goalie, but in the bright light of day I think I just need to write it off as a fluke. Once upon a time one BFN was enough to convince me I wasn't pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluttering-during-tww#post-2051576 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:17:19 +0000 smith 2051576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also felt fluttering during my TWW, but it turned out to be nervous/excited butterflies thinking there was a chance I'm growing a human inside me! Did you notice the fluttering in similar instances, or was it totally random? Not sure what it might mean, but I wanted to commiserate in the symptom-spotting obsession :happy: Good luck regardless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluttering-during-tww#post-2051548 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:53:32 +0000 Torchwood 2051548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nanilani: That feeling I definitely know! I've always over analyzed every little thing during the TWW. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluttering-during-tww#post-2051539 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:33:38 +0000 nanilani 2051539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@torchwood: My logical side knows this, but I think my emotional side still needed to hear it from someone else so thank you :) I'm new to ttc and am often surprised by some of the symptoms other posters have described -- this one was so out there for me that I figured it was worth asking just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluttering-during-tww#post-2051530 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:18:23 +0000 Torchwood 2051530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be honest, I don't know what connection there could be between a weird feeling in your ribcabe and anything to do with TTC. Most of the pertinent organs are much lower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluttering-during-tww#post-2051526 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:12:35 +0000 nanilani 2051526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"TWW" in quotes b/c I have no evidence of ovulation. My cycles have always been irregular and I don't chart or temp yet to preserve my sanity. If only . . . I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot, yet here we are.</p> <p>Has anyone felt a fluttering or bubbling sensation before getting a BFP? I was feeling a very distinct fluttering inside my right rib cage on and off for a day and a half eight days post BD, about 5 to 30 seconds at a time. I've never felt anything like it before, and it felt too high to be gas. It didn't hurt, just felt strange. Light cramping same day felt like AF coming on, but the past several days I've had extremely light spotting only. If I get spotting it's usually no more than one day before AF really appears, but no other sign of her yet this time. I broke down and tested today and got a BFN. The rational side of me says "not pregnant", but the flutters and very light flow are very unusual and have me second guessing reason. Is there any chance it could still be too early to test? It's been ten days since BD, so it could be still be within the TWW if I happened to O around that time. It's all a long shot -- please talk some reason into me! </p>
