Hi ladies,

Thanks so much for positing! My goodness I had the same yesterday at 6dp5dt and I've worried myself to the point of cold sore.
I've had the same bleeding pink, dark pink. Nothing on the pad just when I wipe internally ( like a tamponish)
I'm hanging onto your story because I'm don't have any real symptoms either.....,so difficult this journey.

I feel like my period is coming and I'm dreading the worst!

This thread helped me so much so I wanted to post my experience as well:

Symptoms started 4dp5dt.

-Sore boobs with lots of noticeable veins
-Pulling/slight cramping/stretching feeling in lower abdomen
-intermittent cramps behind belly button
-some lower back cramps
-dying of thirst
-weird discharge
-more than normal wind at night (!)
-heightened sense of smell, once almost leading to spontaneous vomiting
-slight nausea here and there
-dizzy when I stand up sometimes
-forgetting things/generally spacey
-change in appetite- NOT hungry
-things taste a little off

BFP!!! hooray!!

And for those who want to symptom spot, our symptoms included period pains throughout some days more than others, hunger, including middle of the night hunger and thirst, frequent peeing, gas, tiredness, sore boobs especially when taking bra off. dry mouth.

The last couple of days before OTD there was stabbing/shooting/sharp pain in uterus too, for a few seconds at a time, 4/5 bouts over two days. We were worried by this as it seemed a bit late for implantation pains, but todays beta was 99 so don't worry if you get funny symptoms at funny times.


GOOD LUCK LADIES

With my daughter I had larger veiny boobs and lots of spotting.

This time I had absolutely no symptoms at all (until horrendous morning sickness kicked in at 6 weeks!)

 

[amber-ruby]

Things I noticed in 2ww:

I had a lot of twitching, pulling, popping feelings in uterus area along with heavy feeling and was tireder than normal having to go to bed earlier

spotting at 8dp5dt

Round ligament pain when stand up quick or moving around in bed too quick

toothpaste making be gag

 

[Verbena-tea]

I've had period/ovary pains, weariness, being irritable and a slightly ridiculous amount of watery cervical fluid. I was also worried my boobs seemed to have actually shrunk, but hCG test today (9dp5dt) was 174.

 

[tiredmum3]

I have just had a early BFP on a FET yesterday so thought I would share my 'symptoms'.
I had the regular crampy pains but they felt different this time, more achy than AF
I felt ok for the first couple of days after but felt a little off from day 3
Got a really sore throat for the first week with the odd episode of sneezing and runny nose thrown in. only got better now at 8 days past transfer. it almost felt like after it feels after you are sick . Had a few icky moments but cant say for definite it was sickness. Weeing a little more than normal and drinkng more than normal.
Had a funny tummy for the last 3-4 days and now feel a little bloated and quite sleepy. slept for most of the day today and feel like I have been hit by a bus.

Finally managed to bring myself to post here been terrified to jinx myself. Currently 15weeks pregnant following my second round of IVF fresh cycles. First failed round I had nausea sore boobs etc was convinced it had worked but it hadn't. This round I had period pains from the second week and still get them, really strong smelling urine and absolute exhaustion and nothing else convinced it hadn't worked again. Good luck on your journeys X

 

[Waitingformymiracle]

Hi all. Long time reader and didn't really expect to be posting on this page! We had donor egg ivf in Cyprus in Jan. Most of my symptoms I've put down to the high doses of oestrogen and progesterone I'm currently on! So much so I was convinced it was negative but poas this am and got a convincing bfp!!
Looking back I had the following but could have been my drugs!

Massive, painful breasts that seemed to fluctuate in pain and size! Assumed was progesterone.

A weird pulling sensation in my lower groin when standing up fast.

Incredibly bad period type pains that woke me up 4dp5dt.

Occasional nausea but put that down to anxiety. And occasionally felt sick when drinking coffee. Thought was wishful thinking!

Very emotional and crying but again put that down to anxiety and the drugs.

Last few days I've been incredibly thirsty. And despite drinking lots my urine has remained fairly darkish yellow. This was really the only thing that made me think it could be a possibility!

When inserting my pessaries  (sorry tmi) I noticed the angle had changed and rather than going straight upwards,  my applicator now veers towards my back! I assumed this was due to my drugs making my womb lining thicker.

And finally about a week ago I suddenly started wanting to eat lots of tomatoes! Don't know if it's relevant or not!

Not sure how relevant any of these signs are but I think the thirst was the most telling. I remember being very thirsty with my only previous pregnancy that ended at 12 weeks.

Fingers crossed we make it to the end this time! Good luck for all the ladies ttc!  I hope this helps someone! Xx

Got the news of BFP yesterday! 

As for any symptoms, I was convinced it didn't work.  Jus like my previous round which was BFN, I did not had a single symptom.  No implantation bleeding, no soreness, nothing.

The only thing different with my BFP this round is feeling extremely tired which I chalked up to increased progestersone, daily gestone injections plus twice daily cyclogest.

In reading everyone's responses, it just goes to show that you never know what could lead to a BFP.  Best of luck to everyone!

 

[Alex1979]

cramps from the day of transfer

what I did differently

PICSI
90day egg diet
Sperm diet for 2 months
Viagra Cream

good luck everyone xx

Hi all. I've been a long time on and off reader and the I hide away when things go wrong. I am 33 my dh is 33 I have pcos, nk cells, low vit d. And he has a low sperm count. We have been trying for 10 years and having treatment for 4 years.

This is my 5th round of ICSI. It's been a long road with my first (charlie michael) being still born at 37 weeks back in 2014. And then we went on to have 2 failed cycles and a miscarriage on our last round. This time I was pushed to my limits fresh cycle, 450 gonal f, metformin, inofolic, pregnacare, vit d and steriods for nk cells. 11 eggs 7 fertilised BIGGEST WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! A scary day 3 phonecall asking if we would like transfer because we only had a 6, 7, and 8 cell left, we decided to push on to day 5. Started the evil progesterone injections 2 days after et. Day of transfer and Omg we had a grade a blast and a grade b! We have never had that good quality before. I was crying with joy and felt really embarrassed afterwards as to what the staff must have thought of me lol. We tested on day 10 because on all failed cycles that's when i have started bleeding. I'd had awful af pains and ovary pain and back pain. Peeing all the time, heartburn, bloated, hungry and thirsty, moody, tired. Which all could have been the lovely concoction of drugs. And if im honest id had some of these symptoms before transfer. My body felt so worn out with the process this time.
I got a strong line bfp on day 10, 11, 12 and 13!!! 5 different types of test! Gp did a hcg blood test for us on day 13 because of a miscarriage on our last round. We got the results on day 14 and my hcg is 1343!!!! (Twins maybe?) Im now 5 weeks today with a lumpy and sore **** from the progesterone and all the same symptoms. Im still doing a hpt everyday to see those lines lol.
Im really hoping this is our happy ending now. Our 6/7 week scan is 9th may.
Hang in the ladies I know how hard this whole process can get. But I am proof that persistence pays off xxx good luck and I hope this can bring you hope xxx Becky

Not sure why this board had been inactive for a while as I found it soooo useful during the horrid 2WW. After 5 IVFs, I’m so happy to be able to contribute to this board by posting my BFP symptoms:
- slight pulling, twinging in the pelvic area but zero cramps
- unquenchable thirst
- periodic headaches (I rarely have any)
- little bit of blood when I blew my nose which was more runny than usual
Those were the key symptoms I didn’t have with my BFNs, the other common symptoms which I guess are progesterone induced are hot flushes, breast pain and back pain....

I know the road is still very long but I am hopeful. Good luck to everyone xxxxx

 

[Am3ie]

I had no implantation bleeding. But my symptoms of the first week of IUI was shooting, tingling pains. The second week it all went away. The third week frequent peeing at night, very thirsty, lots of cervical mucus, strong sense of smell which just randomly hit me. Nausea on and off and very hungry all the time. Good luck ladies <3

 

[Hopeful2013]

Hi all,
I found this board really helpful on my 2ww...
This bfp I got no implantation bleeding which I have had with every single other pregnancy. The only real symptom was burping! And I tested early at 6dp5dt as I was on a two hour journey with my dh in the car and wanted to kill him...
Just had my 12 week scan so good luck ladies!

 

[AquaMarina]

So pleased I can add to this post again! This got me through my 2ww.

My symptoms the past 2 weeks were very similar to when I had my BFN’s earlier this year so I was convinced it hadn’t worked:

Dizzy spells
Cramping
Very thirsty
Tiredness
Bloating
Increased appetite
Nauseous

I didn’t have any spotting this time (I had loads last BFP) so this also made me think it hadn’t worked.
Good luck to everyone else xxx

 

[AquaMarina]

I forgot to add the below to my last post....

It really helped me on this topic when people put what they had done differently to the last time they cycled and had gotten got a BFN. This was our last fresh round so we wanted it to work so badly. I was eager to try anything that may assist getting a BFP so I went all guns blazing and did the below:

Got my BMI below 25
Ate a healthy balanced diet
No caffeine and alcohol in the month before ET
Had weekly acupuncture from a fertility specialist (still going)
Laughed a lot immediately after transfer (YouTube vids)
Ate 3-4 brazil nuts a day
Took pregnancy vitamins
Ate a daily salad with spinach and avocado
Drank 3 litres of water (room temperature after ET)
Didn’t eat cold food during 2ww
Had a gentle walk every day during 2ww
Didn’t lift anything heavy (difficult with a clingy toddler)

Good luck everyone xxx

 

[Montymoomoo]

Hi ladies,

This 2ww thread was so helpful whilst I was on mine! Below I’ve listed day by day symptoms as I found these most useful. I had a fresh ivf cycle with one AA blast transferred. Not sure if all are pregnancy related but I noted EVERYTHING lol

D3pd5t- stronger cramps on and off, thirsty, hot flush after nap, slight headache, ulcers, itchy scalp. Windy.

D4pd5t - light cramps left side, itchy skin, hot flushes. Skin more oily than usual? Cm continues to be creamy - increasing. Emotional. Brief out of body experience. Small bloody bogey. Feelings of being pregnant. Late evening tummy ballooned, short of breath - OHSS coming back. Can only mean hcg is present!!

D6pd5t - BFP again on FRER. Faint positive on Tesco own brand. Some cramps, more on right side. Skin very sensitive to sunlight. Cramping.

D14pd6t - 2-3 weeks on clear blue digital, very bloody bogeys again, needing a nap each day, ovaries shrinking on scan. Mild cramping. Super sensitive smell!

I hope this is useful to someone, the bloody bogeys and out of body experience gave me the feelings of being pregnant and id read those symptoms on here so thank you! I also did mindful ivf each day and Zita west most days.

Good luck to everyone in your 2ww 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hello ladies, oh i love and gave lived this thread for years!!

I am 12dp5dt of 2 frozen embryos. HCG today was 3094!!
I refused to test early and absolutely refused to a do a urine test. Its a psychological mind **** and can destroy a person. So went straight in for bloods.

Symptoms in 2ww and now:
Early on after transfer like from day 2 i had nausea and headaches, which subsided if i ate something. Nausea if i walk a distance or sit in moving car.
Dizziness as soon as i stand up.
Shooting feelings in boobies which would last seconds.
Upper thigh mild pain, like i've walked miles.
Bubbling feeling in tummy
Absolutely fast asleep in front of tv by 9pm, not like me, im the one nudging everyone else to wake up!
Feel cold all of a sudden, sudden shivers.
Few hot flashes
Boobs seem rounder.

What was different from my other 2 ivf pregnancies:
1st healthy pregnancy-i had the big O in sleep for first pregnancy plus symptoms above
2nd chemical pregnancy- same as above plus big O in sleep

No big Os in this 2ww. Im mildly dissapointed 🤣

A long journey ahead i know, but, this bit right now could help someone.
