Who doubted they were PG?

June24Bride · May 2010

I ask this, because when I had my IUI 3 yrs ago ( my 1st iui, which got me PG ) I KNEW I was pregnant, I just knew. I dont know if it was the cramping or just because it was the first aggressive move we'd done with IF stuff.

This time around ( IUI yesterday ) I'm crampy, which is fine, but I'm doubting, I dont feel 100% like THIS IS IT.

Did anyone feel this way but still come out w/a bfp?

Me!!! I had typical AF cramps and told DH 3 days before beta that my period was coming and the cycle was a bust. He got mad at me for being negative. I ate my words 3 days later when I tested before my beta and saw the word "pregnant"

I knew with both pregnancies (first was a chemical). I thought I knew with my first IVF (we did 4) but it was just optimism because it was a real shot. The two times I was actually pregnant I knew without a doubt but not until a week after. In fact at 6dp3dt I was sure my successful pregnancy did not work and at 7dp3dt I was certain it did and took an HPT with no doubt that it would be positive and it was SUPER faint!

Well...... at 1 day past IUI or the day OF ovulation I never felt pregnant!

I'm not really one for a gut feeling that something just HAS to work. I guess it's too many experiences when it didn't?

However... if you're referring to not having symptoms?

I ignored them with Jace but could see them in retrospect. I thought I'd felt implantation but was trying hard not to get back on the crazy roller coaster of "am I" when I didn't really think we could do it without meds. DH made me test when I felt hung over for 2 days after just 2 glasses of wine.

With pregnancy #4 (would have been DC #3 - first attempt) I had ZERO clue. I mean NADA. No symptoms. Nothing.

My period was late. I wanted it over with before Dylan's birthday party and before my Mom came into town and experience had shown that the fastest way to get AF was to POAS so I did. You could have knocked me over with a feather when those 2 lines came up.

I didn't have any symptoms except that I started to show signs of OHSS that got increasingly worse from 2dp5dt to 5dp5dt. My nurse told me that even though I was miserable, it was a good sign that I wasn't getting better because HCG aggravates OHSS.

That said, I really didn't feel pregnant, just bloated and sick.

Good luck!

I was 100% sure I was pregnant after my first IUI. Like 90% sure after my second, 75% after my 3rd and like 25% sure after my 4th.

I was 100% sure I was pregnant after my 1st IVF and like 10% sure I was pregnant after my 2nd IVF. But that was the one that worked.

I was doubtful because other than bloating and feeling sleepy all the time, I didn't notice any other symptoms. No m/s as of yet.

Yeah i'm more referring to just the gut feeling

me!! i was bleeding and cramping and I hadn't even ovulated that month according to my CBEFM....when full on heavy bleeding didn't happen...i decided, wtf, might as well use up this ridiculous joke test my sister had given me (she's a gerentologist and one of her patients won it at bingo...it was one of hte weird ones that you needed a dropper for). So when a super super super faint line came up, i didn't believe it...and then looked up the test batch and it was a batch known for false positives...

but since it was the first line i had ever seen....i decided to pee on another stick i had around later that night just so that I could kill that tiny glimmer of hope I had...and got another super faint line!!

I felt exactly the same way after my 4th IUI as I had felt after the other three, which were BFNs. Well, I poas in order to mentally "move on" and prepare for the next cycle. To my surprise I got a BFP.

With this preg I was convinced it was ectopic, so I guess I knew something was up, I just did not think the serious cramps I had could be a good thing. They were!

I seriously thought that my third round of Clomid was a bust. I really felt no different during my 2ww then I had with my previous failed cycles. The night between 8 and 9 dpo I had this weird dream that I was pregnant, so even though I was sure it would be negative, I poas and it was positive.

Ditto!

I completely KNEW with DD.

This time my symptoms started later, plus with DOR I expected that I'd have a much better shot any following cycle; I had a polyp removed what became my BFP cycle and thus I couldn't be on any O-inducing meds, just trigger and booster only. Not to mention that I had had 2 c/ps in the previous 3 months, so despite some pg vibes, I didn't want to count my chickens. It's my little Christmas miracle.

It's been 5+ weeks since my beta and I'm still more stunned than I was when I got my beta with DD! If it weren't for somewhat severe m/s I'd all but be in denial since it doesn't feel completely real...and I just had an u/s today.

FINGERS CROSSED big time for you!!!

well after my 2 iui's failed and ivf #1 failed I really thought #2 wouldn't work either but it didn't I was shocked even after I saw the PG test! GL!

nicolita14w · May 2010

For my first pregnancy, I was 100% sure I was not pregnant after my third IUI. I didn't do a home test. Just wanted to get the beta out of the way so we could move to IVF. When the nurse called me and said it was positive, my response was "WHAT?"
