Sorry to be such a PW, but I have one more question
If you've been pregnant before and are TTCing again, do you compare your tww symptoms from your pregnancy to the tww symptoms during your current tww? Does it even make sense to do that?
My most recent tww ended with AF, but during those two weeks, I couldn't help and compare every twinge to what I had during my tww when I got pregnant (I had some distinct symptoms back then). I remember them rather clearly and since I still use the same cycle tracking app, I can actually go and see my notes from that time. Could it be that the tww symptoms will be different each time and so it doesn't even make sense to expect the same symptoms?
I know... I should just relax, but I can't help thinking about those things.
Re: To those who have been pregnant before
I have been pregnant twice, the first ended in miscarriage. The first pregnancy I felt crampy and had sore boobs the whole TWW and even had nausea before my BFP. I still had significant symptoms at the time I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage.
My second pregnancy I had no symptoms for several weeks. I was really upset because I was sure I was about to get my period and didn't even want to waste the test. Well, it was positive and DS was born 9 months later. I actually walked around at home poking at my boobs for weeks because they were not getting sore and I was sure it was a bad sign.
Sorry that was rambly - but in answer to your question, they are all different, and you can compare, but it doesn't mean anything.
BFP#1 10 wk missed mc
BFP#2 DS born at 40+2 on 8/14/12 BFP#3 DD Born at 39+3 on 5/13/14
All of my friends that have been pregnant more than once said their pregnancies have been so different from each other, regardless of it the sex of the baby was the same or opposite.
So I am taking any symptom I get with a grain of salt. It doesn't mean anything to me until I see a positive HPT.

I did this, too! Everyone on my BMB was complaining about super sore massive boobs, and mine were a tiny bit sore and perhaps a few mm larger!
OP, I had no symptoms during the 2WW. I didn't really get any symptoms at all until about 6 weeks along. Symptoms during the 2WW could just as easily be PMS.
ETA: With DS, I did have spotting at about 4 weeks.

Well, during my 1st 10 cycles TTC, the only cycle that I didn't have any "symptoms" was my BFP cycle. My first "symptom" was a +HPT. The sore boobs etc.. came later.
ETA: After reading the thread, I see that I am not alone in my symptomless 2ww during my BFP cycle.
So, I think when we start TTC again in the next month or so, if I have early symptoms, I will assume they are related to AF and not pregnancy. I guess we'll see.
