Questions

[monkeefan73]

Hi. Is there anyone out there with answers to these questions (which may be considered tmi)? 1. Is it normal for my boobs to be super tender 4dp3d ET? They are large and heavy. 2. Is nausea and dizziness normal at this stage? I am feeling a bit green when I move around. I am also having mild cramps at times and I periodically have hot flashes. I am not set to take a HPT until Sunday. Could these be early pregnancy symptons or is this just the effects from the progesterone supplement? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks. ----Tracee

Sounds a little early to be symptomatic. I felt very much the same way. Crampy, sore boobs, etc. after my ivf. It was really frustrating because you're hoping for some sign, but the hcg and progesterone can really throw you off. The good news is that after my frozen cycle I had the same crampy feeling as the first ivf and it turned out to be a bfp! Our bodies go through so much with all the drugs. . . Wishing you the best of luck for a bfp!!!

Thanks Katie

I will try to calm down and be patient. My mind is racing, but I am trying to keep positive thoughts and to practice faith. This is so hard; The waiting is agony.

Typical signs of Progesterone and Estrogen

Especially if you are on PIO, the boobs are always sore and you may even have a poochy tummy from it. I am 3 days post 5 day transfer and would swear that I am going to start my period soon because of the cramps. I have had this on every IVF and frozen transfer (8 so far), whether it was a BFP or BFN. You will have to wait unless you are an HPT junkie like me.
Good Luck!

Thanks Melissa

I am on Endometrin. I have been feeling like AF was coming for a week now. My boobs have been sore and swollen and I do have a poochy tummy. I am feeling hot on and off as well. This waiting is agony. I am nervous to take another HPT because against many warnings that it was too soon I did it and it was was neg. I now believe it was too soon because I was just 5dp3dt. I will try again this weekend. I have meditated on God's word from Deut. 28:11 since another forum buddy reminded me of it and I am keeping my favorite verse from Hebrews in mind too. Thanks again.

Your are quite welcome...

Thats the verse that I've been standing on and believing and I just thought I'd share. When is your 2 weeks up? I'm sure you've told us but I don't remember.

Thanks fso much for that verse Tina.

I will be 10dp3dt Sunday so I can do a HPT then. I am scheduled for a beta Wednesday afternoon regardless of the HPT result. Of course I pray for a BFP!! I should have the results some time the next day or so after that. I'll keep everyone posted.

[katie9924]

Any update? I know it must have been a long weekend for you. I have a hard time just waiting between betas and that's only 2 days. There's so much apprehension involved with all of this... I'm hoping that you had positive news yesterday and that you'll be sharing it with everyone today!!

[monkeefan73]

Hi Katie.

The hpt was positive yesterday (I took 2 of them to be sure). However, I had some light spotting and an awful headache all day. The nurse told me to go ahead and get my blood drawn today for the first beta instead of waiting until Wednesday as planned. I should know the results tomorrow afternoon. I pray everything is okay.

[TinaT]

All is well...

Tracee,

Any results yet? We'll believe that all is well and what you are experiencing is just normal pregnancy related issues. How are you feeling today?

That's fantastic news!! Here's hoping that you have great numbers tomorrow!! I know it's hard to wait even 5 minutes, so I hope that the time passes quickly.
