To anyone who is pregnant or has been..

Post by DandMe »

Any symptoms?

I'm not really feeling anything other than a mildly sore lower back, some mood swings, sore nipples and HUNGER.

I'm not even six weeks yet and it sure doesn't worry me - but I'm anxious to feel more pregnant than I do! LOL :?

Well this stinks...I had a whole new post wrote out and it is gone.

A friend of mine on Face Book just fixed my computer by giving me some simple instructions over FB and it worked! I also know that my power cord has a slice in it and has exposed wires...but whatever it is working right now and I can type.

Sonya...I had alot of weird pregnancy symptoms starting early on, but never did have any morning sickness with any of my pregnancies...knock on wood. Hope you never have to deal with it. Although, I fully understand wanting to feel more pregnant.

Rio...14 is AWESOME!!! WTG girlie! Cant wait to hear the fertilization report. Rest up and feel better soon. Woohoo!!!

Jennie...So sorry about the patches...how awful. Yayy for FET almost being here though and everything looking good!

Lauren...Yep, you should poas on Friday. =) Yeah it was really weird the day the nurse called me with my FET beta numbers last April...they were the leftover embies from Zach's cycle too which makes it even weirder...and when she said 524...I was like that was my exact number from Zach's cycle too...and I asked her...."Are you sure you arent looking at my results from 2 yrs ago?"...and she looked in my file and was like "OMG, that is sooo weird!" That cycle ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks...even with beta numbers being so great. It's just one of those things. I think I am in crazytown...googling everthing again. lol I have found lots of women who felt the round ligament pains and leg cramps at 7dpo. Even if it is not actually round ligament pains...that is what it feels like and I get it very early with every pregnancy now since Zach. My leg cramps continue tonight too...and pregnancy is the only time I get them.

Amanda...Sooo glad you are out celebrating and having a terrific time...so very happy for you! Cant wait to hear your numbers on Monday...and yes cramping is normal.

Nancy...I agree with Amanda...I basically did a natural FET...lots of docs are doing this now. It's great...do inquire and ask for it to save you a ton of money.

eyes and Nancy - ****. There is nothing else to say. I'm so sorry and I'm thinking of you. There is nothing worse than a BFN cycle. It just crushes you.

AFM - make that "STILL FUCKING WAITING" for AF.... 10 days now since my beta hCG dropped to zero. I went in for SnS today, to see if AF is imminent or I need to take Provera or something. Still waiting for the clinic call, but my bet is Provera. Either way - I'm getting my damned period this week so we can start our FET!

(sorry for people who are sensitive about cussing - but sometime the F-word is the only one to use!)

Hey Sonya,

Most of my really strong symptoms have gone away. My RE said that while I was taking the Estrace for the 10 days or so my symptoms would be stronger....(and they were). My boobs aren't nearly as sore as they were when I was taking that. The only symptom I'm having is that my boobs are sensitive and I'm depressed. I don't feel happy right now (as I should be) but I read that my hormones are going crazy and that's normal. I also don't want anything to do with my husband! LOL! Certain smells also get me sometimes and I've been dreaming a lot more lately. A week or so ago I was having vivid dreams but now I'm just dreaming a lot more.

Other than that, I don't feel "pregnant" either. From what my RE said, we are on so much medication that makes us stimulate that when our bodies finally relax, we won't feel the symptoms as much. :?

Hope you enjoy your day!!! :D :D :D

Kaylie sorry you are feeling down. I've had some confrontational mood swings but no depression. I have been constipated (tmi) and do have the round ligament pain in my abdomen throughout the day which frankly kind of freaks me out. As for the dreams I have been having super vivid dreams all night long as well!
You've seen the fetal pole on ultrasound so a huge hurdle has passed for you - the last two times all we got were empty sacs - I would give anything to know what was going on inside me!! My SIL is a vet tech and I am considering getting her to take me to the clinic after hours and give me an ultrasound! LOL

All this waiting is what drives us up the wall, isn't it? I have just over a week until my ultrasound. It's all this huge hurry up and wait for some big freaking event, each having huge implications on how it turns out... so there's a huge anticipation and gut wrenching worry about it until the hurdle is cleared... then all of a sudden there is another huge hurdle in front of you and it's all you can focus on. It makes our successes hard to appreciate and enjoy when there is constantly another challenge directly in front of you, but that you have to wait and obsess over for days or weeks at a time. You enjoy your Sunday and enjoy the movie day!!

Ugh, Osi...I am praying real hard that your beta says differently. I've seen it happen. Big Hugs. Please keep us posted.

Lauren...Charlie horses. I did read though that upper thigh cramps/pain is associated with BFP's...so that is very exciting to hear you say.

Kaylie...Good points. I'm so sorry that you are depressed....I'm sure it is the hormones.

Ester...Let us know how your u/s goes when you are all done.

Sonya...When did your round ligament pains start? Yes, you should definitely go to the vet after hours! lol That is hysterical! Love it.

Leorira...Glad that you are getting checked and getting help. You'll be getting started very soon now! Come on AF! Swear away...it calls for it. lol :wink:

AFM: The damn cat jumped on my freakin uterus this morning!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: It hurts, but not sure there was any damage done.

This coming from the sweetest most loving cat and best friend of Zach...he really is just the most lovable thing who plays too much and not really evil. lol He even lets Zach use him as a pillow, carry him around upside down, and plays ball with him. Otherwise this cat would be GONE! lol He is only 7 months old and still a kitten...but is huge and weighs at least 10 lbs already...he is a very big boned tom cat.

quick update on today's u/s.

on my right, i have a total of 3 (2 at 11 & 1 at 10). on my left, i have a total of 6 (1 at 9, 2 at 11, 2 at 13, & 1 at 13)

grow follies grow!

waiting for a call about my b/w to tell me if i should continue w/ 5 units of lupron & 175 of follistim or if they'll lower my follistim to 150.

i need all the eggs i can get. the more eggs the higher probability of fertilization. since our sperm are the issue here.
