First BFP EVER!!!!!

McsweetsMcsweets member
in Success after IF

DH and I have been through 1 round of IVF and 1 round of FET.  This last FET was successful!!!!  12dp5dt was at HCG 1046 and 14dp5dt hit 2754!!! 

I'm over-analyzing every feeling now because I'm SO worried that I will have a miscarriage or we are going to go to the first U/S and there won't be a heartbeat. 

I've been exhausted, but I feel better today.  Is it normal to not feel exhausted EVERY day???

 *YAY!*

    Congratulations!!! I had no symptoms at all, so almost every feeling or lack of, is normal. Try to enjoy it and not worry. Believe me, I know that is easier said than done. Remember that right now, you are pregnant!

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! 

    And welcome.  I think it is normal to worry after IF. I've heard the advice many times - Just enjoy everyday and think: "Today I am pregnant."

    FYI, for the first 2 months I worried because I didn't feel anything. I swear I had more pregnancy symptoms in non-BFP cycles.  Then, all of a sudden, I got so sick...and stayed sick. Then I was kicking myself for worrying about not having symptoms.

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
    BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014

    Those are fantastic betas!! I didn't have any symptoms either and never really calmed down about the whole thing, but I did feel a little better when I felt movement. Try not to stress, although it's hard!

    Congratulations!!! It is common for early symptoms to come and go. Try not to read too much into them. I definitely know the worry you are describing. For me the feeling of impending doom got a little better with each pregnancy milestone I met. Honestly though you will never stop worrying about your LO. H & H 9 months!

    Congrats! What an awesome beta. I didn't have any symptoms except AF type cramping until 9 weeks, then I got sick and stayed sick til 20 weeks.
    You are certainly welcome to post here, but PAIF has more pregnant girls [we have mostly all already delivered our LOs] and their board is a little more active. Congrats again!
