Hey ladybug09,

I did acupuncture the morning after my 3dt and have done it a second time since then. It's really helped me a lot. For the most part, I'm much more relaxed than I thought I'd be. Totally recommend.

Hi Cindy & Gi, thanks for the positive reinforcement!

Gi: Your reply to my note about the cramps and backpain helped me stay optimistic. I thought my AF was just moments away but the following day all my symptoms were gone. Last night, in the middle of the night, I woke up w/ terrible heartburn ...

Hi Cindy,

I took a HPT test this morning also and I too have a faint positive line! I really hope this is a good sign. I also have terrible heartburn which I have heard is a good thing too.

Hi ladybug09,

I understand that when one has their retrieval (or when an egg is released naturally), the body automatically begins to release progesterone to support the lining of the uterus. The additional progesterone (injection or inserts) IVF patients takes is intended to support that natural ...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I just noticed that when I eat it appears the flavors are much stronger than normal. For instance, I had apple pie, which I normally love, but this one tasted like a bowl of sugar in my mouth. I couldn't finish it. My prenatal V tasted like fish (they have omega 3 ...

Hi Cressicraw,

I noticed I would get bad headaches while on the 2ww, but mostly when I wanst drinking enough water.

Hello all,

I'm at the tail end of my second IVF cycle (9 days past embryo retrieval) and unlike my first cycle; I really haven’t had such symptoms during this 2WW. Occasionally I’d feel a very small cramp here and there but that was it. This afternoon I noticed my lower abdomen felt very heavy and ...

Hello all,

Has anyone else experience any changes to their taste buds during the 2WW? I'm not sure if this is another side effect from the progesterone or not.

Hello anyone,

I'm at the end stage of my second round of IVF and I'm currently taking the progesterone inserts. The first time around, my side effects included bloating, breast tenderness and cramps. This time around I hardly have any symptons at all. I have a bit of bloating but I think that is ...
