Hi and welcome. You're in good company on your 2ww (2 week wait), if you let me have your test date I'll add you to the test date thread and we can keep an eye on you :wink:

Re. symptoms....this is a FAQ and the answer varies from person to person. Some people spot lightly, have sore boobs, feel 'different' etc. others feel nothing at all. It seems to make no difference to the result. If you have a look at one of the monthly buddy threads (some from January are on the 2ww now too) you'll see there's little consistency. Some people react more strongly to the medications which can, quite often, produce pregnancy-like symptoms, which can be cruel if resulting in a -ve result. I had no symptoms at all during either of my +ve treatments.

Good luck and let me have your test date if you want.
Debra.
