2WWers - Anyone tracking "symptoms"?

in TTC after 35
I know some boards think any mention of possible pregnancy "symptoms" if called fishing, so I haven't posted much about mine. That said, I do believe in women's intuition and I also think we know our bodies well enough to know if what we're experiencing is "typical for us" or not. I never really have pre-AF symptoms more than 3-4 a days before AF arrives and they are generally the same from month to month. There are definitely some things I am experiencing that are not normal for me.
Anyway, I found a great site called Countdown to Pregnancy and it's a symptom tracker for the 2ww. What's awesome is even if you're not pg on a cycle you're tracking you can save up all of our 2ww "symptoms" and have something to compare in future cycles. I find they have more specific options than the ones on Fertility Friend. Like prominent blue veins (which I definitely have)!
Anyway, I know a bunch of us are in the 2ww...so I thought I'd share.

Re: 2WWers - Anyone tracking "symptoms"?
I think anything is acceptable on this board.
I will tell you my symptoms: After I ate I would usually feel overly full so I started eating smaller meals and snacks throughout the day. I don't have regular cramps but like a burning or twinging feeling. I also have extremely painful breasts from 5dpo until 9dpo. They are still tender but they were painful to touch. I also had some gag relex type nausea and felt like burping a lot.
Hope this helps and GL to everyone!
Congrats! I just noticed your ticker and my stomach did a happy flip for you! Wishing you a H&H9!

Thanks, MrsWright! Your chart looks great this month!
great link!
And for anyone who is curious, here are my symptoms when I got pg with ds: major breast pain (verging on tingling, for days), plus I 'outgrew' my bra cups - was on vacation and thought I had gained major weight. I hadn't, just went up almost a cup within a week of O. Plus I was a serious witch - had a HUGE fight with dh the day of the +HPT, over nothing at all. In fact, I tested while he had stormed off to cool down over coffee, thinking 'I better not be pg with that jerk' and sure enough... Once we figured it out, it all became clear. And then I was crazy hormonal pregnant lady for nine flipping months... poor dh!
Thanks! I sure hope my temps stay up. My LP is 14 days so I hope that I might have a chance of getting a BFP on DPO12. DH and I head to Cali on Thursday ( which would be one day after AF) so if I am KU I hope to know by then!
By the way, it's killing me that the "Early Pregnancy Signs" calculator on FF is giving me 95/100 points today. AaaAHAHAHGGGG! I sure hope it's right but I have read that it's pretty arbitrary and girls with 16 pt.s get a BFP while those with 87 pt. get BFN. WTF?

I don't think you can trust that early pregnancy thing on FF, but I do think you can trust your body. So, if you are feeling some unusual symptoms, I wouldn't discount them. Good luck and keep us posted!
Thanks for saying this. I needed to read it today. I was hoping to see a faint line on my Dollar Tree test this morning so I could relax and know that all that I am feeling is actually something.
I have a lot of usual stuff that never happens all at once, which therefore is making it unusual to me. And then I have some things that NEVER happen and are very definitely unusual! So now...I wait. And try to practice patience, which has never been my strength.
