I wrote this same post August of 08. ?I had less symptoms in my IVF BFP cycle than I did in any other cycle. ?Even on full force PIO - I had none!! I think that is a good sign : ) ?GL sweetie!!
I didn't really have any symptoms with this pregnancy. I had no inkling whatsoever that i was pregnant. I did have a few "symptoms" with my other BFPs, all of which were on treatment cycles--but I was probably imagining those. This BFP was a complete surprise and I cannot recall any symptoms at all.
ME!! I felt EXACTLY the same as I did every other medicated cycle. In retrospect I can pick out a few symptoms (more constipated and thirsty-- nothing "real") but honestly at the time I was sure I was out of the game. I had a complete "PMSesque" meltdown at about 9dp3dt b/c I was sure it was a bust. And then I contacted my EAP about adoption. Seriously, I couldn't fathom that I had a chance.
My boobs didn't hurt, no metallic taste, no extra veins, no heartburn, nothing. And voila!
I'm not going to tell you to keep positive-- do what feels right, but I am going to stay positive for you and I know everyone else on here will too.
XOXO

Me! I'm a little weird in that this was supposed to be a cancelled cycle, so they had put me back on BCP and when the pack ran out and I didn't get my period, I tested. But I had no symptoms at the time I tested (right around 5 weeks), and really if I didn't know I was pg now, I still probably wouldn't have guessed it. No m/s, my nips are a little sore and itchy, but that's it.
After a loss at 13wks and years dealing with IF and failed treatments (3 failed IUI and 1 failed IVF), we have been blessed with DS (surprise BFP) and now his little sister (2nd round of clomid and TI) on her way.
Yep - nothing, until the day before I tested. I had 2 Cornonas (shame shame, I know!) and felt like I had 12. I got so drunk! The next day with a splitting headache/hangover I tested. It was a BFP. A few waves of nausea in the car - but I was moving from the front seat to the backseat while DH was doing 80 on the interstate. Good luck to ya!
I had nothing. I had all my usual PMS cramping and even the usual zit I get before my period. I was crying when I took the home test because I knew the negative from IVF #1 was going to be the worst one yet. When the second line popped up, I could not believe what I was seeing. That's how sure I was that it hadn't worked.
After 7 failed IUIs, IVF w/ ICSI worked!!
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
No symptoms here. I really think the whole early pregnancy symptoms are a bunch of BS (honestly). esp if you are being monitored so you know when to test, etc. the symptoms didn't really kick in until about 6 weeks....and then, there was really no doubt for me. before that, I had nothing..... I was shocked when we saw the BFP.....
Re: Reassurance: Anyone with NO symptoms before a BFP?

I had no pg symptoms at all, just my normal PMS symptoms. Headache, cramps, bloating. I totally thought my IVF didn't work. Good luck!

And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
Zip, zero, not a one.
I was floored that I was actually pregnant.
I wrote this post too - I had nada, not a single symptom and still had a pretty high first beta.
I know you want to look for answers in your body - but no symptoms don't mean anything at all. Hang in there, I'm really pulling for you.
