So this cycle's 2ww phantom sign is...

... Increased Appetite! I have been up since 1:30am and between then and 3:30, I have had to eat 2 yogurts just to stave off the nausea and dizziness from hunger. And now I'm feeling it again. 

I'm only 5 DPO so I know it's not a pregnancy sign or even an implantation sign. This happens every cycle, nowadays-- some random sign, like hypersensitive sense of smell or nausea or now this-- but it turns out to be nothing important or relevant. Just annoying and hope-getting-upping. 

Anyone else get phantom/pointless signs during their 2ww?

Ahh, yes. Been there, done that many cycles.   It's usually around the 4th or 5th day past O and I get some sort of symptom. You know it absolutly can not be pregnancy related, yet somewhere in the back of my mind is that little bit of "what if."

The mind games in this process really are terrible.

Well, I've got a new one, too!

I thought it could be a UTI, but I'm not having any other symptoms. But:

**************************** TMI ALERT ***************************

 

I can feel my pulse in my bajingo whenever I'm vertical. Combined with the pee often scenario, I am still considering the option of UTI-- so I'm killing two birds with one stone and have now eaten THREE (yes 3!) yogurts. Go live active cultures!

Ah, yes.  I was super hungry this past 2ww and had a super sensitive sense of smell.  DH was driving me crazy with his Dr. Google searches.  He's worse than me on these phantom symptoms.  I don't even tell him what I'm feeling because he gets all excited.  I think I've had them all - nausea, sore breasts, etc.  My body just messes with me.

Well, DH says I have a bionic nose all the time so I can't really tell if it's heightened during the 2ww but I did have a little bit of random nausea last week just a fleeting feeling a couple of times a few days after O so I just brushed it off as me being ultra sensitive, but it did have me looking up on Dr. Google how soon you can experience pregnancy symptoms. Other than that my lack of symptoms is nerve wracking as well! This 2ww is excruciating!!

I called my OB/GYN's nurse to ask about meds for a possible UTI.

If I get called in to work tonight or 12 hours and this IS a UTI and it gets worse, there is no way I will be able to make it through the shift...

I get implantation cramping all the time, he he.

At 3DPO, I've had it for 5 days now :-)

Yes!  I'm 6dpo and super salt sensitive right now.  I'm also craving candy, which I almost never do, but I know its way, way too early to be having PG symptoms.  Sigh.  10 days to go on the 2ww, all of which will have me hypersensitive to any and all "symptoms" that crop up!

I hate phantom symptoms. I've had more so this cycle then most but maybe it's just wishful thinking. Hang in there and hopefully you get some meds for your UTI. There is nothing worse than a UTI!

Last cycle I had two BFP's and felt slightly nauseous if I didn't eat soon enough. Then, I went to the GYN and ended up not being pregnant. So, I think I had a chemical pregnancy. AF came the evening after my GYN appt. Everything has been messed up since I got off of BC in January.
