October 11th Transfer - waiting - pregnancy symp?

[dnbbruce]

I had my first embryo transfer on Oct 11th and will have my lab work done this Thursday. I am having a hard time feeling pregnant. I have a heightened sense of smell, no nausea, sore breasts, but all of that could be a result of the estrogen patches and progestrone shots. Is it normal to be feeling this way? I am just trying not cry and think about what we will do if it is a negative. I am sorry I just having a down day.

Thats why the 2ww sucks I had BFP last year and had no symptoms this time the only symptoms I had was being queasy. To be honest there is no real way to tell. Just keep up the PMA (I know easier said and done). I hope it works out for you.

I agree . . . progesterone mimics pregnancy symptoms to a tee . . . the only thing you can do is hurry up and wait for your beta =) Good luck =)

Could be the progesterone, however, I am thinking the heightened sense of smell is not a side effect of progesterone, but is of pregnancy. But, I could be wrong. I knew I was pregnant when everything smelled horrible to me. LOL Hang in there! Good Luck!

So hard to say! I remember my legs feeling so heavy, and feeling REALLY dizzy on a few occasions. I know and understand the maddening need to look to the message board for *the* perfect answer. Lots and lots of luck.

Here's something that may help: during my 2ww, I spent a few minutes a few times a day sort of 'meditating'/slow breathing, while visualizing my embryos breathing and glowing with life, attaching cozily to my uterine lining. Not sure how that sounds to you, but 9 months after that, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy .

Lots of hugs and PMA to you!
