Symptoms

Please humour me with this request as I need more things to fixate on....

For all the BFP ladies what were you symptoms? When did they start? Did you have no symptoms? The more info the better.

Now 5dp2t. Still nada. I remember JPS (I think) saying about a vein in her boob becoming more noticable so b/c of that I am staring at my boobs continuously willing a vein to pop out. I think I see one however I have never looked at my boobs so closely before so it may have always been there.

CM all seems to be exactly the same as it is on any other failed cycle....

Argggghhhh. It is crazy town here.

  1. I'm wondering the same thing. I'm 6dp3dt and I think I'll POAS tomorrow but my optimism is waning. I had some cramping in my lower abdomen today which worries me. Boobs hurt yesterday after a nap but not anymore.

  2. I am still on my HCG shots (last one Sun night) so def not going to do a HPT just yet. Also had minor abdo twinges but hey that could be from the nerves playing games with my stomach not the uterus action. Its good to have sore boobs though.

    When is your beta?

    This wait is a killer.

  3. My symptoms didn't start until 6dp5dt. I had 2 days of abdominal pains and strange sensations. Not just a twinge here and there, but pretty much all day each day with the tiniest of breaks in between. At the end of the 2nd day of abdominal pains, I had blood. It was bright pinkish red, thin, and watery. That continued off and on that evening and night and by the following morning, it was gone. Then the next day, in the afternoon, I had a little bit more of the same. None since then. I would say my boobs are *less* sore than they were with my negative cycle and the blue veins for me haven't really happened much with either, but may have been also more prominent with my negative cycle. Seems like everyone is a little different.

    I was just telling my husband tonight, when I'm having pains or cramps...I worry that they're a sign of something bad. When I stop having pains or cramps, I worry that's a sign of something bad. There's no escaping the worry for an IF girl. =(

  4. Let's see....now any of these "symptoms" could have been due to endometrin, but I was really tired (still am), breathless (even from just walking up stairs or talking) cramping in lower abdomen especially right before AF would have arrived, lower back pain, weird sleep patterns (insomnia in the middle of the night), sore boobs just kicked in (3 weeks from transfer) but they were fine during the 2ww. At this point I'm officially 5 weeks along and the only thing I feel is tired and sore boobs. Oh...,and I was/am peeing all the time, but drinking a shit load of gatorade...so who the hell knows?!

    I can't tell you how many times I googled 2ww symptoms....that time is so nerve
    wracking! Hang in there!!! Can't wait for the updates...

  5. I really didn't have any symptoms, and still don't have very much. The morning of my beta I thought I was getting AF; I had cramping, but not in the belly, more like in the vagina. It was weird. Haven't had much cramping since. No spotting. Boobs are not very sore. I'm doing PIO this time, and did Endometrin the first two IVFs, and felt much more sore during the first two IVFs. No nausea. Sometimes feel a little "off," but that could be nerves/stress. I am EXTREMELY tired all the time. I take catnaps at work, usually at lunch and in the mid-afternoon. On days off I sleep a ton. And I think I'm more irritable than normal (hard to imagine, I know).

  6. Now I am willing cramps to happen!!!

    Also tired but then I am feeling like a lazy slug seen as have done nothing other than chill out at home this week and not allowed to go to gym which allows makes me feel like I have no energy.

    Tiredness could also be because I am on this computer all the time so my eyes are squinting.

  7. My sister says she feels her pants are tighter (but she's had 2 kids before) and tired and gets up to pee earlier in the a.m. than usual. Boobs not particularly sore.

    I wouldn't worry about cramps being something bad. Very common in my patients it seems.

    Can you even remember back to when you were first trying and you didn't even think about a 2ww? You didn't know what "2ww" meant? You were just giddy to be off the pill and married? And when your period was not present at that day 28, you actually thought you could be pregnant (not just a lame-o non-ovulator)?

  8. So cramps are good?? Damn that takes a load off my chest. This is the second day I've been feeling them, way down in my lower belly, like my uterus area. I thought I saw a blue vein on my left boob yesterday but when I turned it into the light to get a better view I couldn't see it anymore. I almost asked my husband to take a look for a second opinion but I didn't want him to think I was crazy! But I POAS'd this morning, it was negative. I got the digital kind though. Should I have just gotten the regular so I can inspect the two lines myself?

  9. hmmm..i got my first VERY faint positive at 7dp3dt. It was barely there and i had to wait about 10 minutes for it to show up. I am not really having any symptoms either. My boobs were a little sore at first, but not now. I had crazy dreams and woke up with stranger intense uterus cramping/pain at 5dpt. Started spotting at 9dpt..brownish/pink to bright pink and very watery. Spotted from saturday to about thursday. I am tired and grouchy, my lower back hurts..but that is all normal. The one new thing is that im HUNGRY. My stomach wont quit growling and I am craving meatloaf(which i hate).

  10. OH yeah...add me to the CRAZY/horrible/graphic/gritty dream list...I think that happened the night I had bleeding.

    Christa, if you have a Dollar Tree store near you...hit 'em up! They've got dollar tests and that's what I used....+ at 11dp5dt (that's the earliest I've ever tested...yeah, I'm chicken.)

  11. yep yep...dollar tree tests here too!!! and positive at 7dpt. They even have ovulation tests at the dollar tree now!

  12. I had a crazy dream last night that my husband got stationed in Bahrain. He's less than 4 months away from leaving his command to go to another duty station and we have NO idea where we're going to be living yet! Hopefully we'll find out Monday. It's bad timing to go through that during the 2WW. It's like I'm waiting on two pieces of news and I hope both are good.

    I think I'll switch to regular HPT's instead of the digital ones. I'm 7dp3dt today

  13. i got a BFP at 8dp5dt in my last frozen cycle and i could not have felt LESS pregnant. I had more symptoms during my BFN cycles during the 2WW - swollen bbs, cramping etc. during the bfp cycle, i felt absolutely nothing and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the line. i ended up w/a chemical pregnancy eventually by the 3rd beta, but it's weird that i felt less during the BFP than i did during the BFNs. it's so hard to tell w/ symptoms...

  14. Oh ya...dreams! I was getting down like a porn star in my dreams. With my husband, ex's, faceless strangers. I was a dream whore! Still dreaming a lot but not so sexual these days. Funny thing is I haven't had any real action in days!! Hmmmm, maybe that explains it!

  15. Did anyone have changes to their CM or did it continue as normal?

    Mine is now at the body lotion type consistency (I know TMI). So I am thinking my body is behaving how it normally would in a normal BFN cycle.

    I just need something to cling to at this stage seen as I am thinking the worst.

  16. I don't have anything to say about my CM because I'm taking Endometrin so its all white discharge for me. Hopefully it's a good sign for you!

  17. Speaking of dreams...I actually dreamed that I got it on with my RE...how sick is that...LOL!

    Christa i hear you about endometrin, I am on it 3 times a day and TMI have to take extra underwear to work with me, but it's still better than PIO...I think

  18. I just go to the bathroom alot to wipe away the discharge. I'll wake up in the middle of the night to change my liner and wipe. God I wish I could take a bath and scrub the shit out of it but I have to make do with showers. I miss my baths so much :(

  19. I am not on any progesterone. Apparently my levels were good last cycle. Had b/w on Sat ie 5dp2dt and prog was 50 which according to them is good.

    I am just stressing that I have no symptoms.

    Mind you last month I had spotting exactly as others have discribed and that was a BFN. So I guess even the symptoms you think are a definite turn out to be far from a definite.....

  20. What do you guys think about symptoms and testing with a 6dt? Last night I woke up with a terrible pain in my pelvic area.. wasn't like period crampy, but more like sharp cramps mostly on the left side. Could've been gas and my huge, traumatized ovaries I guess LOL. But I didn't really feel gassy. When should I test since we didn't transfer until day 6? This wait is terrible..

    My CM is clear and really thin. Worries me that our little embryo is swimming around in it somewhere on the toilet paper haha!

    Summer - how are things? When are you testing?

  21. Oh, and our transfer date was Monday 2/8. Does that make me 2dpt or 3dpt?
