I am a total crab... (popping in from IF)

in Pregnant after IF

Hi ladies! Congrats on your pregnancies! I am looking for a little hope today.

I am on my last cycle before moving to IVF and I can not help feeling like it's a total bust. I have zero symptoms. Except, I am REALLY crabby. Usually, two days before I get my period, I have irritability and no patience...Well, I am 9dpiui and I have been a complete witch for two days. (Poor DH) And it's that crabby where I know I am being crabby and I really want to stop it, but I just can not. Everything annoys me!

So, I am grasping for hope that my crabbiness is because I am pregnant and not because I am becoming a miserable human being! Did anyone experience this crabbiness and not have any other symptoms before their positive beta? My beta is 8/2.

    I don't recall if I was more of a crab than I usually can be, but I can tell you I had ZERO symptoms before my BFP. I felt like normal, and just bloated but I get bloat when AF is on her way. Good luck!

    I was crabby!  I didn't have any symptoms really, but I was definitely irritable. 

    Good luck!

    I got pregnant on my last IUI. We would have moved on to IVF had it not worked. I didn't feel particularly crabby before the BFP. I just felt regular AF symptoms and I was positive the cycle was a bust. So don't give up hope!

    I didn't feel pregnant with my first pregnancy until I was exactly 4 weeks and my only sign was a metallic taste in my mouth (like I had sucked on dirty pennies). 

    With this pregnancy, which was actually viable, I didn't feel pregnant until after 7 weeks.

    Signs IMO are typically more psychosomatic than actual when you are pre-beta.

    As for moodiness, the longer I cycled the crabbier I got. It had nothing to do with BFP or not. And FWIW, IVF was the best decision I ever made. It's the only thing that ever got me pregnant and I wish I would have turned to it sooner. GL.

    I had zero symptoms before any of my BFPs. This cycle I was spotting and was sure AF was on her way when I tested and got a BFP. I was in total shock. The 2ww is such a mind f**k hon. Hang in there, and I hope you get your BFP very soon :)
