How Soon Could You Tell You Were Pregnant??

Post by Sher8 »

I am currently 4dpt and do not feel a thing. I wanted to ask you girls who just went through this, when did you realize that the cycle worked and you are pregnant. Any of those out there not feel a thing?? As you can see, I have been through this before, but last time I had OHSS so it has been an entirely different cycle for me and I feel like "normal" this time.

Thanks for your input,
Sher8

I had sore bbs for whole 2 weeks. Because it was my 3rd 2ww I knew this one was a lil bit different. 1st two times soreness went away in 1 week before blood test.

i have had no signs or symptoms of being pregnant and i'm now 16 weeks and still no symptoms or signs. if it wasn't for my scans i would be really questioning if i was dreaming that i was pregnant!!!
everything you feel in the first few weeks is down to the progestrone that your taking (if you are taking it)
so i really wouldn't worry about symptoms or signs of pregnancy as everyone is different and believe me stressing yourself out over doesnt help matters at all.

good luck and i really do hope that you get a strong BFP.

Hi Sher8

The only symptom I had was sore bbs, but I always had that before my periods. I’m currently 5 weeks and 3 days and still no new symptoms.

Good luck!

Hi SHer8
I know how scary it can be with so many people talking about what they feel and everything, but I got my BFP last Friday and was expecting the worse because I never felt a thing!, no cramps, no ms, no hunger, etc. So I guess everybody is different. Maybe we are the lucky ones with no symptoms, don't you think?

Good luck to you and the other. Keep thinking positive!

Hi Sher

Cant believe you are on your 2ww already!!
The only different thing for me was feeling dizzy a lot of the time from 2 days after transfer, but no other symptoms and I havent really heard of this been a commonly discussed symptom. I then started with what felt like bad AF pains the day before my test day.

Good luck! Will be looking out for your news!

Thanks Kim.

Yes, this cycle has been entirely different that two years ago. Much smoother and a lot less painful. If I do get pregnant, I hope this is representative of how the pregnancy will go as well. This 2ww is so tough and I'm trying to keep as busy as possible. Luckily it is summer and that helps a lot.

Hope Jenna is doing well these days. Siena is a lot of fun and she enjoys the outdoors. She has been walking for two months now and the speed continues to pick up. Our cat is starting to fear her now. :lol:

Take Care,
Sheri

I was looking for someone to go through this with! I am 6dp5dt. I feel fullness in my pelvis and some soreness in bbs but have done a million hpt's already and all bfn. Am so depressed. Maybe there is still hope? Not sure how to feel. I will hope you get a bfp. Are you going to do hpt or are you going to hold out for bt?
Good good luck to you.

I will hold off until the blood test on 7/12. I think and HPT might drive me crazy.

Best of luck to you.
