Early Pregnancy Symptoms Post - Please Update when you get a +HPT or Beta....

[LSGMSU1]

I don't know if I have the right to post yet because I don't know for sure if I had a true +. I had an HCG trigger of 10,000 miu a little over two weeks ago and I'm not sure if it's residual effects.

For what it's worth, here's my symptoms:
1. Sore bbs, but not any sorer than they are when I'm getting AF.
2. Twinges in my uterus.
3. From about 8 DPO on, mild heartburn.

Got faint + 12 DPO, afraid to hope.

I wanted to add something, I don't think I ever saw posted on this link.

The only symptom that I had this time, that I never had before when I had PMS was that the little bumps around my areaola got more pronounced (at around 9dpiui). I sort of discoved this by accident and I thought it was odd. I had no bra on and a big over sized GAP sweatshirt (I would be consider small chested - A/B cup). Anyway I was sort of stretching and taking off my sweatshirt to take a shower. I stuck my hands under my sweatshirt and sort of brushed against my nipples. I felt the bumps. I remember thinking to myself, I don't ever remember feeling all these little bumps around my nipples.

After reading the what to expect books, I learned it was a symptom of early pregnancy. So I figured I would add this to this great post..

I have had crampy feelings for the past month or so, which I now know is a symptom of early pregnancy. I feel like I have been peeing a lot lately and finding it weird that I will have this NEED to go but not really go all that much. (It's not a UTI, it doesn't hurt when I go or anything...) And about 3 days ago my nipples started hurting.

I have no idea how far along I am... I last had a period January 13 and have been back on BCPs since the end of February. I just tested yesterday. Whether I got preg before or after going back on the pill, I can't say.

All I can say is I am astounded at my lack of symptoms... I always thought that if I ever got pregnant, I would know!

First doc appt. is tomorrow...

I tested positive with a urine home test on 11 dpo last week. Prior to that I had been feeling tired, had bad headaches and my boobs were tender. Not to the touch, but it felt like pin pricks. This does happen prior to my period, but usually only one day, this was like day 5 of it. I also was having night sweats. No major symptoms though. I just got my second beta back and it's 187 and my due date is nov. 29th, yay.

Also, I had been taking glucophage XR since sept '02. First I was taking 1000mg 2x a day but due to a pharmacy mix up I dropped back down to 500mg 2x a day which I plan on remaining on for my first trimester. Wow did I actually use that phrase with regard to myself! Amazing!

Good luck to all if you in the 2ww! I didn't chart this month, I only used the fertility monitor.

my first few signs were,

-- really sore bb"s on outer side

-- alot of pressure in lower belly, and peeing alot.

-- very very tired

-- tons of yellowist CM and , CP very high and soft from about 3dpo.

-- and the feeling that i was pg. that little voice telling me that, yes you are pg. i didn't believe it at first, but now it all makes sense.


the doctor called today with my beta results and +++++
she said the numbers were a little low, 70. so tomorrow i go back for more blood work, but everything else is real good.

I am only 12dpo, but I have had four BFPs, so here goes:

- really foul mood for no apparent reason (DH noticed this one right away)
- sore nipples (not the whole breast)
- dizziness and nausea off and on - sort of like car sickness
- getting up to pee at night, I never do that
- cramping which I can only describe as 'stretchy' - like my uterus is stretching (not the same as AF, but similar)
- creamy CM
- heartburn
- headaches almost every day, but not like my normal sinus/migraine/stress headaches that I'm used to. they go away on their own, it's so weird

I hope this helps some of you. I know before I had my BFP I was checking out this thread DAILY to see if what I was experiencing was early pg symptoms.

Also, I should point out that I have *not* had the fatigue that so many talk about. I'm sure it's coming, but at 12dpo it's just not here yet.

Babydust to all!

I am 4weeks and 5days, I got a faint BFP at 8dpo that kept getting darker and darker...

I had my IUI on Sunday March 30th.

- cramping for a week after IUI
- extremely tired since 10dpo
- MOODY since 10dpo
- nausea at night since yesterday (18dpo)
- full breasts since 10dpo
- peeing all the time since 12dpo
- diareah since 12dpo
- lots of BM's since 10dpo
- tons of creamy and EW CM since 7dpo
- bloated feeling since 10dpo
- spotting from 11dpo - 17dpo

By the way, I had three temp dips during my LP, so it is possibe with screwey temps and all! Never give up hope on your dream!

As many times as I've obsessed over the information in these posts, I can't believe I'm finally posting here!

I got a BFP on an HPT and my beta was 114 at 11 DP 2-day transfer (IVF/ICSI), the rough equivalent of 13 DPO.

Here are the symptoms I've had:

1) uterine cramping, especially when using the bathroom
2) funny thigh ache on and off that I usually get before AF
3) sore and full breasts (thought it was just from the PIO shots)
4) new blue vein in my breast (areola) in addition to the blue veins normally seen during the 2ww
5) greasy face and more cystic acne and whiteheads than usual
6) maybe a little hungrier than usual
7) stuffy/runny nose

The cramping seems to be increasing each day. Overall, though, my symptoms have been very subtle. There were plenty of other cycles when I was more convinced that I was pregnant.

Hope that helps someone!

I got three +++ HPT's @ 11dpo, but my beta was only 13 12dpo. My symptoms during the wait were;

5-6dpo- DH irritated me beyond anything ever before. I just wanted to get mad, and then I would cry my eyes out.
7dpo- twinges in my lower belly yucky taste in my mouth
8dpo- am I peeing more? Really thirsty, craved water.
9dpo- cramps, nightmares about weird stuff, moody
10dpo- lots of yellow cm. (this wasn't normal for me to have so long after I ovulated) cramping felt just overall yucky. I didn't even want ice cream!!!
11dpo- brown spotting +++ Hpt's
12dpo- heart burn central, and overall crappy feeling (beta only 13)
13dpo- heartburn and feeling sick to my stomach

BUG

*edit: ended in miscarriage*

I got a positive HPT (FRER) at 12dpo.

I didn't have a lot of symptoms, in fact I was so certain that I was not preg that I met with a new doctor to discuss his infertility treatment philosophy the day before I got my +hpt.


--sore bb's around 11dpo on....not REALLY sore though...just normal pms sore bb's....but the tenderness started much later in my cycle than usual

--sharp pains in uterus at 9dpo

-other abdominal twinges and cramps but I attributed those to the UTI that I had at the same time.

--DH mentioned that my breasts felt more firm than usual.

--I was (still am) pretty weepy. I cried for no reason at all when I walked into Walmart at 9dpo

--minor heartburn, mostly at night

I got a + beta on Friday but we'll find out tomorrow if it's a "real" +. It was 12 so the nurse doesn't know for sure if it's a chem. pg. or what b/c it's in that "unidentifiable" range of 5 - 25....

My symptoms so far have been:

~ Very sore bbs
~ Tired constantly
~ Hungry but don't know what I want b/c nothing sounds good
~ AF like cramps off and on but like a weird stretching pulling feeling
~ Heartburn when I eat anything
~ Very, very emotional (crying at anything and everything)
~ Going to the bathroom alot (TMI but both...:o)

I think that's about it for now. I guess we'll find out tomorrow if it's going to stick or not.

Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker on the TTC board for quite awhile but rarely post since I've been ovulating regularly on 1500mg of Gluc. I just got my first BFP this morning after 6 months of TTC and wanted to share my 2WW observances.

I had some strange, stringy spotting around 8 DPO and light uterine cramping from CD 10 to the present. While my BBs are/were a little sore, the pain is no worse than normal pre-AF tenderness. I've been a little nauseous at times - particularly when I'm hungry. Additionally, I've seen occasional bits of yellow cm since 8 or 9 dpo but it hasn't been consistent. Like JessicaE said, there have been other months where I felt more pregnant.

HTH!
Missy

I mostly lurk here - I am hypothyorid, not PCOS (long story - but it was dr's initial dx, and found this site and couldn't leave!)


But I thought, what the......I know what I am like for reading about symptoms, so a few more wont hurt!


I have logn-protocol IVF, so for people au-natural it might not be helpful, but I was scouring anything for specific IVF-2WW symptoms!

1-2dpt - sore ovaries/af pain from retrieval/transfer, especally in the bathroom (oooocuh!)

3-4dpt - tummy pains gone

5dpt - two episodes of stabby pains in womb/ovary/whatever area....and.......ahem........in my.....you know! One set of pains around 11am, the next lot 9pm.......implantation?

5-7dpt weepy, extremely so
5-7dpt no physical symptoms at all, no boobs, nothing

8dpt-now (11dpt) nauseaous in the morning and evening

tested very faint +++ on cheapie dipstick tests from 8dpt,
tested nice bright ++++ on FRER on 10dpt .

Not counting my chickens yet as first beta not will 14th.
