I can't help but compare this TWW to the one where we ended up pregnant with Sprout. The thing is, every time I feel a symptom, I write it off as something else. I have had some tender bbs for the last couple of days, but when I think back to the previous pregnancy, I automatically say, "well last time was much worse, so this must not be anything" or "last time the sore bbs started at 7dpo."
I know, I know, every pregnancy is different. I know that little embryos decide to implant at different times. I know all this...BUT!
I just looked back at the ff chart and my blog post at 9DPO (where I am today) and the only symptoms I talked about were fatigue and sore bbs. I checked the "bloated" box on ff too.
I think I am comparing my pregnancy feelings to this tww, not the actual tww feelings, so that too, is dangerous. You feel a lot different in week 9 than at 9DPO.
I have done an excellent job of not obsessing...and if you call what I just typed above obsessing, then you haven't been reading our blog that long, nor (I dare to guess) have been in the IF community too long.
It's 9DPO and I haven't thought about testing...well I did, but I didn't do it. Score one for me.

I didn't feel pregnant or have any symptoms for weeks after my BFP. In fact I felt like my AF was coming and I even had bleeding (must have been implantation looking back) so try not to look for or worry about symptoms.
I think it's natural to compare. Moms compare pregnancies all the time... I often hear, "with my first I didn't have any morning sickness, so I don't understand why...", and things like that. But you're right - each pregnancy is different. I'm impressed that you're CD9 and haven't tested yet! Not sure I'd be that strong! :)
Kudos to you for not obsessing! Seriously, I give you a lot of credit 'cause that ain't easy. You're more than half way through the TWW, so hopefully that at least provides some relief :-)
Score one for you, indeed! Gah, I'm hoping so hard.
I'm hoping for you... <3, dana
