Ok so yesterday and all day today I have had very mild cramps in my abdomen, I have also been exhausted more so today than yesterday. Are these still clomid effects or would these have worn off by now x

 

[jen_bretby]

So I got a BFP this morning having pretty much convinced myself it would be negative because of my symptoms!!  I had a day 5transfer.
Day 1-3 not much really, maybe a bit more emotional but pretty sure that was all the hormones from the IVF leaving my system.
Day 4 severe period pains (I don't generally get much pain except for first day of period) and my period was due on day 5.
Day 5-6 some mild cramps and back ache and occasional fleeting pulling pains up around belly button
Day 7 BFP!!!!

Hope this helps you ladies in waiting get through the 2WW without loosing hope! Xxxx

I had DIUI on 7th August and got my  on 21st August (14dpo)!!

These were my symptoms (we're all different, and every pregnancy is different - my symptoms this time were not the same as my last pregnancy, but my list may help some of you to stay positive  ):

0-5dpo - tender BBs.

6dpo - Indigestion. AF-type stretching/cramping sensations. Cold and shivery. Shattered.

7dpo - Yawning. Cold and shivery from mid-mroning until after lunch.  Odd sensations lower left side of uterus.  Creamy/yellow CM.

8dpo - woke early desp. to pee. Couldn't get back to sleep for a while and when I did I had very vivid dreams.  Woke up exhausted and remained that way for a few hours.  Queasy.  Drained feeling.  Acidic burps.  Felt like I had a virus.  Twinges in uterus and lots of gurgling (like pre-AF but this is too early).  Still no pre-AF giant spot on chin. Slight CM stain in pants.

9dpo - Woke feeling refreshed!  Felt a little cold, shivery and queasy mid-morning.  Lots of AF dull aches and lower back ache - this is too early for AF pains but feels just like AF.  Convinced AF is imminent.  Then change my mind due to odd tugging sensation in uterus and tops of thighs.  Cold and shivery again followed by hot flashes.  Just can't seem able to control my own temp.  Yawning.  Rubbing face lots.  Feel like I'm on the brink of a bad cold.  Slight CM staining in pants.

10dpo - Woke convinced AF is imminent again.  Gurgly uterus, hot and restless all night.  Really aware of my uterus on and off today.  Stretching, twinges, bubbles, gurgles, dull ache.  Yawning a bit but not as shattered as last few days.  Did I have a virus?  BBs still heavy and tender and now they are lumpy.  Couple of extremely irritable moments followed by feeling very teary (poor DH and DD).  Mucousy throat like a cold is coming.  Still no sign of the AF spot!

11dpo - Woke at 6am laughing hysterically (another vivid dream - I've had them every night since 6dpo).  Woke again at 7am desperately needing the loo - sides, lower back and abdomen are aching, constantly.  Tiniest pink/brown watery cm on tp after wiping.  Convinced AF will be here by Weds.  Cold and shivery followed by hot flashes in afternoon.  Flu-like symptoms again.  Brown watery cm on tp at 7pm.  BBs still lumpy and now very tender down sides - this is different.

12dpo - Pee stop in night.  Vivid dreams.  Felt like AF was coming in the morning but just more brown watery and now mucousy staining when wiping after a pee.  No AF aches today.  Strong sense of smell - especially cigarettes.  Yawning.  Little bit of brown staining on pad and watery CF.  Convinced BBs are deflating.  Still no AF giant spot on chin.  Evening - orangey staining on tp when wiping after a pee.  Shattered all evening.  BBs have inflated and the sides are really painful again.  Feeling cautiously optimistic.

13dpo - Slept well.  No pee stop.  Slightly orange watery stain on tp after peeing.  Some AF aching in the afternoon.  Keep thinking AF has arrived but just watery CF.  Bloated and tummy ache all evening.  BBs still large and tender.  Bubbles in uterus.  Excess saliva all day. Went to bed hungry in spite of eating well.  Drove past car with number plate IUI 2182 (DH joked it meant we'd get 2 lines on 21/.

14dpo - (21/ Still no AF at 7am so POAS (FRER) and 2 lines appeared in less than a minute - first line was faint but got darker by 3 minutes.  Not as dark as control line.  Cannot believe my eyes!!  (Number plate was spot on!  Spooky!) Feel normal all morning, then cold, shivery, nauseous, exhausted, excess, saliva, hungry all day (at a wedding so unable to eat
when I want and it's too cold for a sleeveless dress).

15dpo - pee stop in night.  Unable to return to sleep as so hungry.  Queasy and drained all day.  Excess saliva and awful taste in mouth (metallic?).

16dpo - woke feeling refreshed. Pee stop as 4ish.  BBs full but not tender.  Definitely more veiny.  Increased CF.  Hungry.  Increased sense of smell.  Nausea and metallic taste have gone.  Absolutely exhausted by 3pm - had to go to bed.  I never sleep in the day. 

17dpo - pee stop in night.  Woke refreshed.  Some increased hunger and yawning.  Needed an afternoon nap again.  BBs tender down the side again this evening.

18dpo (today) - Pee stop in night.  Woke feeling refreshed.  Hungry.  Wanted a nap at 3pm again but wasn't able to.  Yawning and tired.  Some BB tenderness.  Watery CF.  POAS again - instant BFP - line much darker than control line today.  Tested mid-afternoon.

Distinctive symptoms pre BFP: AF pains; tenderness down sides of BBs; chills; frequent urination; no AF spot; pink/brown/orange spotting (implantation?); flu-like feelings.

Really hope this helps someone.  xx

Morning,

So on day 8 of the awful 2ww! Had 2 embryos replaced on day 2 on the 29th oct.
Symptoms: painful cramping since day after transfer,
Lower back ache,
Pain in ovaries especially right side,
Feeling of heaviness like period due any day!

This topic has been a godsend! Thank you to all who posted. Here's hoping for that BFP!

Olivia

I wanted to post as I had literally no different symptoms from a BFN in my last cycle to a BFP cycle. At most, a feeling of 'zipping up' inside. I also had some pain in ovaries like another lady but wondered whether that was a post EC thing. Things like wanting to pee more often, larger/sore boobs etc I had last time on the BFN and I think now were due to the drugs I was taking. I know it isn't conclusive but I hope this helps in some way to say you just don't know until POAS time! Lots of luck and baby dust to all xx

 

[RooRoo79]

Just got my BFP today, 12DPO. For the last 12 days, all I have had is gas and bloating and I've been eating like a monster but that is not so unusual for me ...... Absolutely no cramps, no IB, no dizziness, etc. I have had a lot more "symptoms" when I got BFNs!!

So - don't lose hope if you're having no symptoms!

For me, it's early days but I am hoping this one sticks

 

[flappy_godmother]

Evening ladies.
This time round I'm finding I have really bad tummy cramps, but when I was in 2ww with my son I had no symptoms at all. Needless to say that's been playing on my mind now. I know every cycle is different but I'm so apprehensive. Mind you since giving birth I have started to get period pains much more frequently and stronger so maybe my muscles just work a little harder?!?!

I also swear I felt a bit nauseous today (and to make matters worse we had a cake sale at work and I was nominated to sit with the cakes and sell them) but I think
I'm just making things up in my head now. X

 

[scaery]

hi all . I hope you don't mind me coming in on your convo. im day 11 after a 3day transfer 2embryos.
I tested sat it was a faint positive line ,yesterday it was a bit darker but today was a proper line . im in limbo cause I want it to be real but also don't wanna get too excited. anyone else test positive this early??

 

[MariMar]

Hello All,

Still early days for me, so a bit scared to be posting anything on this thread, but I remembered how much it helped me during the 2ww...

I was taking Cyclogest, and quite a lot, so that may have messed with my symptoms a bit, but to be honest, my symptoms weren't really any different before the BFP as before the failed cycles... Maybe even a bit more like PMT! I had some cramps, slightly achy breasts, which went away a few days before OTD, and even had spotting the day before my OTD, just like I would before AF, and bled on my OTD day... And still got a BFP!

Just shows that everyone is different, and you can symptom-spot all you want... The only way to know for sure is testing on your OTD or after it!

Babydust to everyone reading

I got a BFP this evening having thought it will be negative because of my symptoms. I had 2 blastocysts .(FET)
Day 2-3, mild cramp
Day 4 and day 5 - constipation
Day 6-7 severe cramps, back ache and AF pain.
Day 8  belly button - navel pain.  Tested BFP this evening - so happy

 

[Shyeshye]

I'll be where you all are in 4 weeks. Scared xxx
Congrats to all the pregnancies and good luck to those starting and don't give up ever to those that sadly didn't get a BFP xxxxxx

I just thought I would give a little more detail about my IVF ICSI
Hi I am a newbie.
Me 40 DH 40
TTC 2.5 yrs
Low Amh 1.02 FSH 10.91 told low antral count 2-3 each ovary
DH all fine except quantity

Started ivf icsi on 10/12, short protocol antagonistic and stimming from 10/12 up to 21/12. Last injection for final maturation on 21/12. Scans showed 4 follicles with only 2 good ones. EC took place on 23/12 and 2 good eggs retrieved. ICSI procedure and informed both the eggs fertilised. ET took place on 26/12 a 3 day transfer. At transfer was informed both embryos were good quality and given an A grade with a 4 cell & a 3 cell division.

Now I am more than half way through the 2ww. Spent a lot of time researching etc and feel a little nervous and upset that by day 3 the cell division should be 8 or more so am worried about what that means that my embryos had not divided as much as they should by day 3. What are the chances that they will have developed further post ET and divided as they should and therefore implantation chances

Anyone out there had a similar situation resulting in BFP?

Sorry for a bit of repetition but have copied this from another area I posted in.

 

[goldbunny]

embryos don't wear wrist watches.
on our second cycle, we were told we had two freezable embies, one slow one, and two that would be put back. In the time it took them to put those back, and me have a half hour lie down afterwards, the slow one had caught up! hour and a half? Your embie that was four cell could have been 8 cell an hour later... no way of knowing but not worth losing sleep over. x

Hi ladies, I hope this is the right thread to post on. I'm 8dp5dt with 2 blasts, my beta is tomorrow. I started my usual pre period spotting on Sunday (6dp5dt) and was gutted but did a test to put myself out of my misery. Anyway it was a faint positive, tested again last night and positive again. Still faint but clearer than the day before.
What I wanted to ask was whether anyone had any spotting/ cm with a bfp? I've had brown cm on & off since Sunday and because it is at the same time as when I would get it with a period I'm worried my period might come. Any experiences or info would be really helpful xx

 

[jeannieb]

I had some spotting with both BFP sadly both ended in MC at 6 and 7 wks respectively but try not to worry about the spotting(easier said than done as we all know) Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

 

[Lolem]

Anyone had headache as a symptom? I get migraines with af and have a hovering headache now. It's not a migraine yet. I'm 2dp5dt and terrified its not working!
I am also hungry, slightly sore boobs (which normally goes away b4 af), cramps, backache, emotional (tears - not normal af symptom). All of which could be oh or af symptoms - aargh!

 

[yoga31]

Lolem

I had headaches which turned into migraine it was awful especially as I couldn't take my normal tablets... do it could be a good sign! Good luck xx

 

[Lolem]

Yoga31 - thank you so much. That really helps. i will try and stop panicking so much now!

[Jeco83]

Hi everyone I'm so happy to be able to contribute to this thread!
We transferred 2 blasts on 9th February.

1-2 days after- a bit constipated! This was due to progesterone.
3-4 days after -woke up sweating in the night, waves of mild pain in left ovary continued throughout the day.
4-5 days after - very mild pinchy pains in uterus, cried at a comedy!
6 days after- diarreah and very emotional
7 days after- noticed small amount of blood, think its all over!
8 days after- tested positive!

I haven't had many symptoms since testing positive but the line has got darker and I am now 10dp 5dt.
Most mornings I've needed to get up and pee at about 4am, I'm very hungry and get a tiny bit nauseous and burpy sometimes!
