sore throat in the 2WW?

Hi all...me again, the girl who seems to fall apart in the 2WW! :)  I posted a few days ago about a UTI and now here I am again, this time over analyzing early symptoms.  I went to bed last night feeling perfectly fine and healthy, and woke up today with a terrible sore throat...not scratchy or coughing/producing mucus, but it hurts so much to swallow and feels like my glands are swollen.  I googled this (of course) and people seem to be 50/50 about this being an early symptom or just a coincidence.  Anyone else experience this?  If it helps, I *believe* I am about 8-9 dpo...I know you all don't know if I'm pregnant, and I'll be testing this week, I just was wondering if anyone else had a sore throat right before their bfp.  Thanks so much!

Re: sore throat in the 2WW?

  • I did not. 

    I hope you aren't getting sick. It seems something is going around - a lot of people at my work are sick.

  • The only symptom I had before my BFP was fatigue. I was taking naps, which was abnormal for me, but I chalked it up to stress. Turns out I was pregnant. :)

    I think the sore throat and UTI are just a coincidence, but that doesn't mean that you're out this cycle. Update us when you test. FX for you! :)

  • I did but I was recovering from a tonsillectomy so probably not the same. You probably just slept with your mouth open last night.

    Congrats to my GP Sister from another mister Bruinsbabe!!
  • *butting in from GP*

    I've never had a sore throat before a BFP. Hopefully you aren't getting sick, but I would chalk it up to a cold or allergies. That doesn't mean you're out, but it's probably not a pregnancy symptom.

  • I had a sore throat and a cold sore. I am not sure if it was pregnancy related but I haven't experienced either since then and it had been a long time since I was sick before that.

  • Thank you, everyone, for your replies!  It lasted for a few hours this morning, along with 2 very short bouts of nausea, but then it was gone this afternoon and I've been feeling great.  I'll just have to wait and see what happens!  I'm going to wait until Thursday to test...hope the week goes by quickly!!  Thanks again ladies :)
  • I get a cold/sore throat right when I get my period...  just sayin'

    but good luck when you test on Thurs!
