With my positive cycle, I had light dizziness and heartburn.
I'm in 2ww now and I have a headache, but I still don't know the outcome.
Did anyone have a headache?

So it was my OTD today, and I've got a BFP! I'd been reading this post a lot and worried that I wasn't getting many symptoms - well none really!
All I've had is a bit tired, but think that's because I keep getting up to pee in the night because I'm drinking loads as I was bloated and constipated! I had no spotting. I've never really suffered with PMS. The injections didn't really seem to make much difference to my moods. Looking back the Chlomid might've - but think that it was just having a bad time at work.
So although it's really early days for me, don't worry if you have no symptoms at all!

finally a BFP!! ;-)
here are my signs and symptoms, which i don't think are hugely helpful - the steroids i am on mask preg symptoms:
lower back ache - main one
aware of uterus (some mild cramping/pulling sensations)
tired a lot of the time/napping in afternoons
some dizzyness/sight not quite right
mini palpitations (think these are steroid related)
shortness of breath
no sore boobs at all
no chnage of smell etc - none of that kind of thing
on my last cycle i was convinced it was going to work - i had 'all' the symptoms possible and it turned out to just be drugs side effects, so you really never know!!
What i did differently this cycle:
switched to a fertility expert acupuncture (from a generalist) and went weekly.
had a relaxing massage 2 days before ET
watched comedy youtube videos minutes after ET (read that laughing can help!?)
had a scratch
kept my feet warm since ET (I mean 24hrs a day in thick socks!)
ate some (not masses) of brazil nuts
worked from home after ET and then went into xmas holidays - so literally have done nothing for 2 weeks/took it super easy
really stayed positive and chilled and visualised my embie snuggling in
decided not to test super early and just tried to forget about it (which was hard!)

Period style twinges
1 week after transfer had upset tum for 3 mornings running at 4am, then fine all day
Had heartburn at night
Watery taste in mouth during day and felt a bit burpy
All could have been period or medication I was sure nothing was there and surprised when The BFP showed

During the 2ww I had the following symptoms:
Stomach cramps like period pains
Spotting for 5 days (brown and pink)
Dizzy spells

Dizzy spells
Dehydration (especially during the night)
Sensitive to smells
Nausea in the evenings (no actual sickness)
Itchy feet in bed (I had this last BFP too)
Sore lower back
Wind (sorry tmi)
Extreme tiredness during the day
Good luck to everyone xx

Hello from Australia, this is my first post. Im currently in my TWW. I h ave had period like pains that even woke me up one night and vivid dreams on 4-6 dpo. They have settled now. Lotion like CM and now its more watery. Im hoping for a BFP later next week.

Hi,
This is the first time I've posted. Have been following lots of threads however!
I did a few things differently in my 2ww this time. Last year, I got pregnant from a FET, but sadly had a missed miscarriage. This will be my 4th round of IVF.
Today I tested (OTD) and saw a faint line. I'll re-test in a couple of days. I'm cautious with excitement because I know what happened before.
During my 2ww I had these symptoms from a FET (2 embryos were put back):
headaches 2dpt 3dpt
dizziness 2dpt 3dpt
night sweats 3dpt 4dpt
feeling unusually cold in the evenings 3dpt to 5dpt or thereabouts. wore socks in bed too.
increase in appetite 2dpt 3dpt (and on and off now) I like eating
nausea (not a huge amount) but every day from 9dpt
heightened sense of smell 9dpt (this was very prominent - I could smell everything with an intensity of ++
women with perfume, men with aftershave on the tube trains made me feel nauseous, car fumes, restaurant cooking smells, times that by 4, everything was right under my nose)
drinking more fluids from 2dpt (not drinking as much as then but still drinking more than I usually do)
little sharp twinges in the abdomen - yesterday and today - I really thought my period was coming. (plus slight brown discharge, really thought I was about to come on, also saw some brown specks, not sure what they were).
a few stomach aches but now sure if/how they're related.
**** pains (due to other half injecting progesterone into the biggest muscle of my body gluteus maximus - he now knows to inject a little higher and outwards lol) not exactly a symptom of FET but thought you might like a little laugh..
tiredness 2dpt 3dpt 4dpt and anything in between now.
Things I ate during my 2ww
Ate bacon and avocado sandwiches. I had a real thing for this.
Drank lots of warm orange squash (think I have got through almost 3 bottles of Robinson's orange squash!)
I have made sure that all my fluids are warm and not cold. This is something I did differently this time.
Drank soya Alpro milk, Innocent Acai, and Coconut and Pineapple juice - again making sure they have warmed up to room temperature a bit.
Drastically reduced my caffeine intake to half a cup of tea every day, then de caff tea for the rest of the day. Yorkshire decaf tea is the best by the way. At least they leave some of the flavour in and not a teabag taste.
Brazil nuts every day.
Blueberries with natural yoghurt.
Lots of greens and vegetables and homemade food.
Remember making homemade vegetable and bacon soup 2dpt - perfect for keeping the tummy warm.
The only processed food I've had is I admit Waitrose roast chicken pie but I check the ingredients to make sure they're sound.
Some milk in my cereal.
Took Pregnacare tablets every day (still am).
Ate some chocolate digestive biscuits ( I know.. they have caffeine)
And a few Walkers salt and vinegar crisps - I had a craving for these about 4dpt.
I hope this helps others. As I say, I'll be testing again in a couple of days to see if the line gets any darker. But for now I'll count this as a small fat positive.

I forgot to add that I ate a lot of protein during my 2ww. Things like mackeral, chicken and beef, obviously making sure that beef mince was thoroughly cooked, and chicken too. Made sure my mackeral intake was no more than two portions per week because of the pollutant issue, but oily fish is great with its omega 3.

Very happy to be able to post here. Just wanted to let you all know that most of the symptoms I had were exactly the same I had in every cycle so far! That includes extreme grumpiness, very sore boobs and constipation. My boobs even became less sore towards the end of my cycle and I always thought that's a sign that it hasn't worked. Well, don't be fooled!
On the day that I tested (15dpo) I also had pain in my lower back and my pee started to smell weird. Also, now I feel like liquid is coming out all the time and then I get spooked that it may be blood, but so far it was only clear discharge with white bits in it. Good luck to everyone and don't make yourselves crazy about symptoms. I only started having unusual symptoms at 15dpo!

Hi first ever bfp Jan 2016 from a natural fet (no meds at all) During my 2ww I developed a cold/flu the day after transfer, which people kept telling me was a good sign? I d never heard that before. The only other symptom in 2ww was one day I had extreme hunger then the next a loss of appetite. My 'full on' symptoms did nt start until 5 weeks. sending lots of love and luck to everyone 🍀 Xxx

Hi Ladies,
I'm just posting this because I would have loved to have read something along these lines during my dreaded 2ww.
I had 1 x day 5 hatching Blasto transferred...and the 2ww began. No signs or symptoms at all at first, but then on 5dp5dt I was horrified when I got up in the morning went to the loo and saw blood! Convinced it was all over I got really upset...then once I'd calmed down I realised it was much lighter in colour to AF. 2 or 3 dark pink droplets in the toilet itself...strangely stayed as droplets rather than turning all of the water pink...and then quite a lot on the tissue when I wiped.
This carried on for the rest of the day, then on 6dp5dt also. It stopped on 7dp and for most of 8dp and I was so relieved...but then just before I went to bed on 8dp it was there again and seemed heavier.
This continued varying between light pink discharge, dark pink spotting, and pink looking water when I wiped. On 12dp5dt this became a more browny colour but seemed quite a lot all day.
It doesn't matter how many people say it sounds like implantation bleeding....in your head any sight of blood means BFN.
I was absolutely convinced for the whole second week that it was all over...it seemed far too late for implantation bleeding. BUT on 13dp5dt, day before OTD I tested and got a strong BFP!!! ClearBlue 2-3 Weeks and 2 really strong lines on FR.
Beta blood test on 14dp5dt came back at 1520!!
Still very early days for me..now 5weeks 2 days & 1 week until my first early scan...
But I just hoped that posting this might reassure any other ladies who are panicking at early spotting!!
Don't lose hope at all!!

Congratulation on your BFP. I have to admit that I would have given up hope after all of that so well done for staying positive. That's such a great number.

Congratulations! This post was exactly what I needed. I am only 6 days past 5 day blastocyst transfer and I have been seeing very light, brownish discharge yesterday and today which really worries me. I have had a faint positive on FR today as well so I was so conflicted as to whether to be optimistic or not. I hope you have a smooth pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby...

I had absolutely no symptoms. Not one! I was so convinced I wasn't pregnant that I was going to have a few beers one afternoon when it was sunny, thankfully I didn't! The only thing I could mention was that after my ovitrelle booster I was incredibly bloated for 2 days but I'm assuming that was the hcg hormone in the ovitrelle rather than anything else
Hi all
I am thrilled to be able to post here after reading everyone's stories.
My main symptoms were: cramps, nausea, room spin, tiredness, reduced appetite, sore boobs. My hubby reckons he knew from a week after transfer that Im pregnant as my boobs are much bigger!
Good luck everyone xx

Hello Ladies,
I have just completed my 2WW and my HCG's and wanted to post on here as it gave me such hope during my 2WW. I would read through the posts again and again again.
My symptoms were AF like pain, pulls in the uterus area, but I had had all of these before in previous failed cycles. Teh symptoms just seemed stronger this time but I was pretty convinced it was the medication.
Anyways, good luck to all of us on our journey. The 2WW is so difficult but this was one of the threads that gave me hope so I wanted to spread that!

My time to contribute to this post !
I would like to put in "other" = Higher body tempreture . yes, I have sore boobies and small cramps, bloating tummy, but all those I am sure was from the progestrone I was having since those symptoms showed up right after I started the progestrone five days before the embryo transfer. But one thing I was quite sure and helped me to calm down and gave me some peace of mind was, my body tempreture was always higher than usual. I normally have 36,6 C, but during this 2ww it has been steadily over 37C, and sometimes as high as 37,6C though I did not feel fevery or sick.
I had one chemical before, I also had high tempreture when I was carrying, but after one night I had severe cramps for hours, the morning after my body tempreture dropped right back to 36,6C -- and I knew I had lost my precious during that night.
so checking the body tempreture could be one way to assess if everything is going on all right in there?
my two cents
