Hi there,
This is my 4th ICSI cycle (have beautiful 14mo dd from 3rd) and had ET on 2/14. The 2ww is maddening, trying to grab onto any positive symptom I can. I read a list of symptoms that proj causes but didn't see hunger or the kind of shaky feeling I have, that one might go under light headedness. I do seem to be hungry all the time but realistically can this symptom really develop so early??
Thanks for listening
Patsy
in the 2ww, starving and kind of shaky is this side ofproj?
Patsy,
I had my ET on the 13th and I have been feeling that way too. I haven't really heard many people mentioning it in here. I have had quite a bit of cramping too but along with it, yes, I feel like I could eat all day long. I was just telling my husband last night after the cramps were gone for a while, "I think I am actually having hunger pains"! I wasn' sure if it was all in my head or not, because it sure seems too early for any of that!

Hi Nickster,
Thanks for your response, it feels good to have someone feel the same way, my DH thinks I'm a wacko and should just wait for the beta but I just feel strange and eating all the time. I told him I sure hope I'm preggo otherwise I have some serious dieting ahead, I'm kind of a lean person but boy do I have a gut right now, just hope it's for a good cause.
Please let me know how your test comes out, your a day ahead of me, though your clinic may not do a day 8 and 10 beta or does it?

Hey Patsy!
I know I haven't even told anyone about that hungry feeling yet (except my husband) because of course I think I'm reading too much in to it! I guess we will soon find out!
I test on Monday, the 26th. Hoping for real good news! Last night I was cramping REAL bad and started spotting some. So far today I haven't had much cramping and haven't had any spotting. I was really worried last night though. Have you had much cramping or any spotting?
OH...this tww is driving me crazy!!!

Hey there, well, I haven't been spotting, which is bothersome b/c I know a lot of girls do but I have been cramping but we can really chalk that up to the proj, are you doing shots and supps? that's what they have me on. I wonder though about a couple of pulse like twinges I've felt, guess it could be gas ha-ha. This is sooo hard!!
So the question to pose is are you going to POAS? I actually did already last nite, wayyy too early 5dpt but will try again tomorrow, I'm an addict, I picked them up at the dollar store and it says it will register HCG as low as 25 hope that's true, though with my dd now, her betas were 8 & 24 so it wouldn't even register.

Well I actually thought it would be a good sign to spot, but yesterday when I did, it was accompanied with some of the worst cramps I've ever had. So it was not such a good thing. I was sure I was going to start. I went to work right afterwards and I really don't know what I was thinking! The worst part about it is I'm a nurse on a labor and delivery floor. And I actually expected to be able to function for 12 hours last night. Luckily my boss, and my friend, would not let me stay and told me to go home and put my feet up. After that, so far, I haven't had any more spotting and really not much cramping. I've kind of been cramping on and off for a week or so but yesterday was definitely the worst!
I am on Progesterone suppositories ~ 600mg a day. I am actually pretty glad I don't have to injections every day. Are you on suppos or injections?
I swore I would not do a hpt. And my husband has been saying all along NO WAY! But now he and I are both like well maybe we'll do one this weekend just to see what it says. By then it will be close to Monday and close enough to our "real" results so what can it hurt?
So you took your hpt last night?

Hi, yeah I took it at 2:30am b/c I always seem to have to go in the middle of the nite and that was a 5hr wait so figured it was like my morning pee. It actually kind of had a teeny tiny tiny bit of pink tinge but I think you have to be a wacko like me to see it but the problem is, it more than likely is still the hcg shot b/c it was only 5 1/2 days since the 1cc shot. I figure I can use it as a baseline so if I take one tomorrow and it's more pink or not that will tell me a lot. Also I'm taking 1cc of prog. in oil shot in my but everymorning and only 50mg of prog. at bedtime. Your taking 600mg of supps?? Is that several times a day? don't you have to lay down for a while so it does its job? just wondering.
Well, I think it's a good sign that your not bleeding, that may have just been implantation spotting and maybe even that can be attributed to the bad cramping don't know, lots of girls say it's the proj. side effects.
Good luck with your weekend POAS decision, wouldn't it be great to see a nice dark pink line? Keep me in the loop!

I don't know what to tell you about the hpt. I really don't know that much about them. All I know for sure is that everyone tells you not to do them. But how can you not???? It's so hard. This is the LONGEST two weeks of our lives!! Well I hope the next couple you take will give you some good news. I'm still not sure if we'll do one this weekend or not. We probably will though.
Yeah, I do 600mg suppositories twice a day. And yes I have to lay down for a half hour each time. Sometimes that is a little bit of a pain in the butt because it's supposed to be the same time each day too. So if you have something to do, it just has to wait. So in some respects it would be nice just to do a shot and get it over with.
Well, keep me updated on how things are going with ya. Don't try to stress yourself out taking too many hpt's!!

Hello Ladies
I pretty much new here but I feel the pain too. The 2ww sucks the 1st time I took hpt 7 days after fet it was neg but i took another two days before the fet and it was positive. Sadly I got a low beta and was told that it was chemical preg. This time I have had some cramping no spotting but I have been hungry more than usual. I have been trying my best not to test this time but it is hard

Hi Mrs Lopesz,
Sorry to hear about your chemical, I had one too, really hard. I hope you have a big fat positive this time. I've been really hungry lately too, hmm.
2ww's are soooo tough and I just can't resist the dollar store hpt's, I have no willpower, ugh! Your better off not messin' with them, they just make you crazy. When are you being tested? I get two tests, one on Sun and one on Tues, which are day 8 and 10 for me. Hang in there!

Hi Patsy,
My beta is on 3/1/07. I can't wait the not knowing is the hardest part. I brought a hpt I haven't used it. I guess Iam a little nervous to take it because it might knock the wind out of me if it says bfn. Good Luck to you too Patsy.

How are the HPT's going? I took one this morning and it was a BFN. No sign of positive at all. And this is 11dpt for me. So, I'm pretty sure I know what the answer will be from my beta on Monday. We are just devastated. Now were just trying to figure out what our next step is!
When is your beta, is it Tuesday?
Welcome mrslopez! I hope your beta brings a BFP on 3/1!!!

Nickster,
So sorry you got a neg on your hpt, they are awful! I don't know what to tell you, I guess I'd feel the same way too but still you never know, there are some awfully low betas out there early on so remember, it's not over till it's over.
I've been feeling awful today, very teary just feel like it didn't work, of course it's not helping that I take a hpt every morning with neg.'s every time, I think I just want to prepare myself get used to the dissapointment b/c it was always so devastating in the past when the clinic would call with the bad news.
Mrs. Lopez, if you take the test pls wait as long as you can, these bfn's just suck, spare yourself that heartache. Good luck to you too!

Hi girls,
Well, I have been taking numerous hpts, I know bad girl, but can't help myself... on two of them out of 4 or 5 can't remember had like a shadow of a shadow of a line, it's so hard to say it was a line b/c maybe my mind is putting it there, some of the tests showed no line at all but just wondering about the two that I thought may have had something....really hate to get my hopes up, wish I wouldn't do this...I'm going to try again in 30 min to use my 4hr urine and see if that brings positive results.
Hope your all hanging in there ok.

HI Ladies,
I am also in my 2ww and am testing on March 1st. I am so happy to have found this thread! I thought it was just me feeling this way! I too am eating all the time and I feel tired and shaky. Today I am feeling nauseous and a little crampy. I am also feeling cold. Some of these symptoms are the same symptoms that I get when AF is approaching. So now I am starting to freak out. I was calm before today. Now my nerves are a mess. I keep wondering what if? What if it didn’t work? I know that’s not going to help my cause by I can’t help it. With last cycle AF reared her ugly head about 7 days after ET. That day is slowly approaching and now I’m starting to worry. Especially with these slight cramps that I am feeling. The queasiness is also a pain in the butt. But it helps when I eat, hence another reason why I am eating every 5 minutes. I too thought it may be too early for hunger pains. I often wonder if I am reading too much into it and subconsciously creating my symptoms. I tell you, this 2ww is enough to make a person go absolutely insane.
I am also on the progesterone suppositories. I have to take them 3 times a day. I try to lie down after taking them but that is difficult to do when I work everyday. I can lie down for the morning and the evening ones but it’s kind of difficult during the day. I’m very afraid to do a HPT. Last cycle I did and it was a BFN. I’m afraid to do it again. Trying to change things with this cycle.
Here are some of the sides effects of progesterone:
headache
breast tenderness or pain
upset stomach
vomiting
diarrhea
constipation
tiredness
muscle, joint, or bone pain
mood swings
irritability
excessive worrying
runny nose
sneezing
cough
vaginal discharge
problems urinating
Hopefully the eating constantly is a side effect of our pregnancies.
Good Luck to you! I wish the best for both of you. I pray that you get BFP’s.
