IVF girls, did you have any "symptoms" before BFP?

hooliface · December 2009

I am trying to decipher if the cramps and sore bb's are from all the med's and pio shot or something more. This waiting game is so not fun and if you read my post from yesterday, I broke down and poas......BFN. I was 7dp3dt when I did it (also in the afternoon) so I have literally made myself sick. It seems like AF might be coming due to the cramps which started about 3 days after ET and have continued.

Did you have any symptoms prior to your BFP?

Thanks

I had to get up and pee in the night which is not normal at all for me!

7 days is super early!!! GL!!!!!!

When I started stims, my BBs hurt and continued to hurt through my first trimester. I had cramping on and off throughout the 2ww and my entire pregnancy. Other than that...nothing at all.

I didn't POAS until 10dp3dt because I wanted to know for sure what the answer was. I would wait another couple of days and then try again. Good luck!

All the symptoms I had prior to my BFP was the same I had for all my other BFN cycles while I was on progesterone. Once I stopped taking the progesterone at 8 weeks pregnant, all symptoms vanished and I didn't have any symt[oms at all until exhaustion set in at about 10 weeks.

My "symptoms" were that I was 100% convinced that AF was about to start. Imagine my surprise when I got a BFP instead.

all the meds and hormones can definitely play tricks on you!

for me this time it was being excessively weepy (cried way too much at a movie) and feeling really crampy. In all my BFP cycles I also had this vague feeling of "peace" and "just knowing" I was pregnant come over me. I don't know how to explain it b/c there weren't any particular symptoms associated with that feeling. It was more like a psychic guess. Stick out tongue

The only symptom I had were night sweats. They were the only symptom I ever had- no ms, no sore bbs, not tired etc. I also got a BFN at 7dp3dt but a very, very, very faint BFP at 8dp3dt and my beta was 54 at 10dp3dt. Good luck and stay hopefully. I remember not feeling very optomistic at 7dp3dt but as you can see from my siggy things turned out very well!

brideinOC · December 2009

I had no symptoms whatsoever.

BelleBaby · December 2009

Nope, I felt nothing. No cramps, extra peeing, nothing. I got a BFP on a FRER test at 10dp3dt.

chillinkate · December 2009

I had/have all of your symptoms and I recd BFP just over a week ago from blood test...today is first u/s. Wait for the doctor's blood test...don't test yourself!!! It will drive you crazy!

My bb's didn't hurt until approx 12dpt so I was concerned that I wasn't pregnant then they started to hurt. Cramps were a few days after transfer and they continue. I'm not sure if that's good or not but could be due to all the medication I'm still putting in my body.

GL!!!

I had AF type cramps along with sore breasts. The sore breasts were normal before AF, but I rarely have cramps so it was a little different for me. The cramps started soon after ET and never really stopped until a couple months ago. I was also exhausted starting a few days before my beta (which was at 12dp6dt) and had to take a nap as soon as I got home everyday. Unfortunately all of the "symptoms" I had were also listed as side effects to the Endometrin and can be signs of AF, so I didn't know what to expect going into my beta. I hope this is it for you, Good Luck!

ladychicago · December 2009

just saw this... i'll c&p what i wrote in the post above. Good luck!!!!

i said i had symptoms... and i did. but because it was my first time on PIO, i didn't know at the time (and perhaps still don't really know since i was on PIO for 8 more weeks) what the source of my symptoms really was.

but basically i had very faint cramps starting about 5 days after the transfer. in the 3 or so days leading up to us testing and the beta, i started to have a sharper, more focused pain in my VERY lower abdomen (just above my pubic bone).

other than that, i felt normal. but the cramps were noticeable and the sharper pains went from faint to VERY intense. who knows!

CandT · December 2009

It's still early for POAS so stay positive. I had no symptoms at all, bb's got sore about a week after positive beta. Hang in there and good luck!

efhoping2010 · December 2009

Cramps from ET on, had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, nausea, fatigue, some of it could have been from the PIO and vivelle though. Best of luck, think positive

itsmevkb · December 2009

I was more crampy than normal but I attributed that to the progesterone. Same with the heartburn.

The one thing that I thought perhaps wasn't medicine related and that I've had each time I got pregnant was that a food I normally really like would taste different to me. Once it was Starbucks ice-cream and the other two times it was sour cream and I NEVER don't like sour cream so I started thinking something was up.

I'm hoping you get a positive test very soon.

I had the sore bb's, & the bloating, but that is PIO. I did have 2 symptoms, I started to dream vivid dreams every night was my first indication. Second day before beta I had a food adversion to broccoli & cheese soup, I literally couldn't look at it after ordering it at Paradise Cafe, I took one bite & felt sick. Only symptoms.

I'm on my second IVF cycle. The first one was in Sept 09 and bfn. Now, I'm in my dreaded 2WW, beta scheduled on Dec. 25th (postpone to 26th since lab is closed for Xmas -adding another day to my misery)

Both times I started off with symptoms of bloatedness, AF like cramps, sore bbs, lower back pains and leg cramps. Both times these symptoms started to diminish (except the sore bbs) 4dpt. I'm scare that I'm going to get a BPN again this time. I'm wondering how much of these symptoms comes from the residual medication in our bodies vs actual pregnancy symptoms. I had bloatedness, lower back pains and leg cramps during cycle as well. Could these symptoms have lessened because the ovary stimulation meds have finally left my system? I hope that's the reason. Did anyone else experience the same diminishing symptoms?

Good luck to everyone
