Although this is my 5th time doing the TWW, I am STILL symptom spotting. I really am my own worst enemy. To be fair, I held off googling anything until today 😬.
Symptoms so far:
- Vivid dreams
- Frequent urination (this started last night)
- Waking in the night
AND that’s it. No cramps, no bleeding, no lower back pain.
I have also been searching this forum to see who had what symptom and who resulted in their BFP. In particular I was really caught up with the frequent urination as I read on healthline that this is a sign of early pregnancy. It is caused by yes an increase in progesterone as well as HCG. Now here is where I get a bit crazy. My theory is that day 6 is a round about the time implantation occurs, meaning HCG starts to be released. So that might explain my increased need to urinate now. I know I know, I’m probably clutching at straws. But well you know, this is what TWW does to me. And strangely, I feel better (in a delirious way).
I really hope my theory is correct!
How are my fellow current TWW going?

I’m 3dp5dt so a similar stage to you. I’ve only had a few cramps but I know it’s so early but I can’t help it. My first fet was unsuccessful and I didn’t have any symptoms then so I’m trying to compare. Wishing you all the luck. When’s your otd?
My OTD is 31/1! I keep trying to compare too. My first ICSI was successful - a double day 3 transfer. I remember pink spotting on 8dp3dt. So whenever I approach this day I always get twitchy. When is your OTD?
Mines the 3rd feb. I tried to tell myself I wouldn’t symptom spot but I can’t help it. I’ll end up testing before the day but will hold out as long as I can
I’m 4dp5dt so I’m the middle of this ttw hellhole as well. I felt absolutely fine and felt positive until today. This is also my 5th transfer and you would think I would learn by now as well!
I’m feeling quite crampy today, with some pinches. It feels like my period is coming to be honest and it’s got me down. I really don’t know what to do and I’m just trying to keep as relaxed as possible. Is it too early to get your period at 4dp?
On the plus side, I’ve had some vivid dreams, frequent urination also. No spotting at all.
I can really empathise with you on your journey. I really, really hope it all works out for you in the next few days and you get your BFP!!! ✨🙌💫
Let’s hope my crazy theory on the frequent urination works for both of us! When is your OTD? I’m not sure about the general rule for when a period would be expected to start. But I do know that for me, it has always started after OTD. My clinic does reassure that even if you do have a bleed, it still doesn’t mean it’s over yet. Stay positive ! (Pun intended!)
For me, it’s always started beforehand but my OTD isn’t until the 5th or 6th so I’ve got a good way to go. I think I’ll probably know for sure the beginning of next week if my period is due.
Ohhhh huge fingers crossed and sticky vibes, baby dust and everything to us! ✨💖✨ I hardly dare to dream!
I’m 3 days post frozen transfer and have had mild cramping everyday since, a major night sweat last night.
It’s my first transfer and I’ve never been pregnant so it’s all new to me. I feel different though and the embryologist said my frosty was hatching before transfer so fingers crossed 🤞
I have been the same, symptom spotting when it could actually be all the progesterone I’m taking. I am 4dp5dt (double fresh transfer). I’ve had dull ache/light cramping to the left side of my pelvis again this could just be my ovary post EC. This is my 6th round.
I'm 4dp3dt and trying to keep my mind busy all the time because symptom spotting is my passion 😂 I did it every single month as we were trying to conceive naturally and I learnt I get every single pregnancy symptom about a week before I get my period too, which is not ideal!
So this week so far I'm exhausted for no reason, I've got to pee every hour, slight cramping here and there, sore breasts, hot flushes and just feeling... full? I don't know how to explain it. Every one of them is caused by hormones and rationally I know I even had some of them before the transfer. But it's also my first round so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm walking that very thin line between being realistic and enjoying a bit the "pregnant until proven otherwise".OTD is 02/02, and I'm determined not to test at home because the next time I do one of them it has to be a feckin positive!
hello fellow 2WW, I am on day 8 of FET( double egg transfer, this is my 3rd attempt, I haven’t actually googled any symptoms this time, I think cos I was doing it too much on previous cycles, I been having cramping since transfer and very moody but been put that down to progesterone! Im finding this 2WW very long compared to others for some reason! When’s you OTD? X
Mine is two days after you 02/02 but I think it’s at a bit late as my period is due a few days before, is that common to have the OTD after your period is due? yea first double embryos, the previous ones were singles which were BFN x
I am not sure if it’s common to have your OTD after your period, i never paid attention to mine. But in previous rounds, AF always turned up after my OTD. But I just checked my app and apparently my AF is due tomorrow! Well if it’s going to be BFN, I’d rather know earlier than later. Hoping it is your time xxxx

15dpt faint positive line after few hours plus bleeding :(
Anyone got BFN 3 days before OTD and went on to get a BFP? 
First time FET Failed
*SENSITIVE* Positive test
Is 10dp5dt too early to test? Hanging in there
