Hello:
My hubby and i tried IVF back in April of this year and didn't get pregnant. So we immediately tried again about two weeks ago using a FET. Over the past two weeks I've felt little or no "symptoms". Am I supposed to? We took two HPTs and regret doing so, becasue they both were negative. I have 8 Frozen Embies left, but am not ready to face another heartbreak tomorrow. My hubby is convinced that we are pregnant inspite of the test, but I'm not so sure.
Has anyone out there felt any signs or symptoms during their 2ww?
There really are no "sure signs" during the 2ww...especially since many of the medications you are taking can fool you one way or the other. I really didn't have any symptoms and clearly I was pregnant! Things like morning sickness don't kick in that early for most women--I think I was about 6 weeks along before it hit me!
With the HPT's it really depends on the sensitivity of the test, the amount of hcg in your system, and the concentration in your urine. There have been many women on here who can attest to getting negative HPT's and then positive betas!!
Hang in there. This is indeed a very difficult journey.
I hope tomorrow brings you wonderful news!! Keep us posted.

Good Luck tomorrow.. I know as many of us do how crazy your mind can get with multiple failures. Just take everything day by day. HPT aren't always great indicators. I did an HPT on day 12 after a positive beta on day 11 and my HPT was negative. Everyone is different. Hoping your test tomorrow is a BFP.

Just wishing you good luck today! I never had any symptoms to speak of during the 2ww. Of course there were things that I could convince myself were symptoms, but they were just side effects of the hormones. Hope to hear a great beta result!

I am so sorry Marie. I know how horrible those BFN's feel. Really. (((HUGS)))
Take good care of yourself this weekend, give yourself time to be sad. And then get back in the saddle when you are ready. This process can be draining. Some of us feel better jumping right back in, others feel better after a break. Do what feels right to you.
You have 8 beautiful frosties waiting for you when you are ready. And this board of wonderfully supportive women who really know what it is all about.

Sorry to hear the news. Know exaclty how you feel; we went through 2 negative IVF's and 3 miscarriages before finally having our little guy. It is so painful along the way, but in the end it is all worth it. Don't give up....keep trying! If you would like to read about our story, you can visit my blog. (link is in my signature)
