Help GONE CRAZY in the 2ww!!

nola219

General question for all. When did you first start experiencing s/sx of pregnancy.? What was your first symptom and at what week?

Is it unheard of to have all the prego symptoms opposite of what is considered normal prego s/sx. Like Insomnia rather than sleepiness. Increased energy compared to chromic fatigue? Even medicine having an opposite effect on the body. Benadryl acting like caffeine and caffeine acting like Benadryl. Cause if it's possible, I am mucho prego!

Seriously have no idea what's going on with my body. Maybe all the clomid, follistem, trigger HCG shots and progesterone have me going a little crazy!

I didn't have any symptoms before I got my positive test at 2 weeks. I did have a lot of anxiety though which made me unable to sleep or focus on well.... anything really

Hang in there, watch lots of tv, get together with friends and try to enjoy yourself. The 2 weeks isn't forever!

best of luck to you!

I didn't really have any symptoms other than my missed period until about week 5 or 6. 

Good luck to you!

My first pregnancy, I just high temps on my chart post-O...  and a very vivid dream that made me test at 11 dpo.  Then no symptoms till 5w5d.

This time?   It has been a little different.  I was getting hot flashes a week after ovulating...   I bawled for almost no reason the day before I tested.   (My husband LOOKED AT ME FUNNY!!!!)  And I was craving pickles that week, too.  (I haven't eaten a pickle in years.)  And I had a gross dream.  Totally inappropriate.  Then I tested positive. 

None of that explains what you are going through, though!   I think the meds could be contributing...   When are you testing?

****UPDATE****

Thanks for the much needed support. Today is CD 26, 10 DPO and IUI. I woke up to something hopeful. Light SPOTTING!! However I couldn't leave well enough alone and POAS. It was a BFN! However if you held it close, into the light and squint, It had a faint blue line. So I'm bummed again. I go for my beta test on Friday 3/38/14, so *FX*. I hate that I will be working and will get results while I am there. I am a RN and work at the some hospital as my RE.

Me 35yo
DH 37yo
TTC 3years, 1 year NTNP, 1 year TTC BBT, and Ovulation monitor and test strips, TTC with ART (clomid, folistem, metformin, HCG trigger shots and progesterone) 14 months
Dx(me)  PCOS, anovulation, left ovarian dermoid, endometriosis with D&C
DX (DH) slightly slow motility
IUI x2 BFN
Last IUI 3/16/14 - FX for a BFP!
Today 3/26/14, 10 DPO and IUI
Hoping for BFP on 3/28 and being a FTM!!

The first time I POASed this time (at about 14dpo), it was negative (or likely had a very faint line that I dismissed as negative). Two days later, I had a clear positive line. You never know!

Thanks everyone, we are so excited! Over the moon and back again!

I want to shout it from the rooftop but we are going to wait and tell family after first

the first US with a heartbeat. Nonfamily members, as long as we can hold out

It just doesn't feel real. How long did you all go before telling people and when did it start to feel real?

Ylvelill

Congrats!

I told family when we got the blood test and friends who knew we were doing ivf after the first u/s. Everyone else were told after 12w

So awesome! I remember how happy I was after I got my first BFP! Especially when you put in all that work trying and it finally pays off with a sweet little baby. GL to you. H&H 9! JM

Congratulations! I didn't get a positive result until a day or two before my period normally starts, but I had a lot of the weird symptoms, including a super runny nose, crazy dreams, exhaustion, and spotting and mild cramping, several days prior. I'm at 12w3d now. I had my NT scan and got my great Panorama results yesterday and called my parents, so it's really starting to sink in finally!

Good luck to you!
