TTC #1 first IVF. Blood test Jan. 16th.

[kasoucy]

Can anyone give me words of encouragement??!! I am driving myself nuts! I still have 6 days before the blood test and I don't have any major symptoms. At times I feel like AF is coming at any moment and then at other times I think I might be PG.

Hi hun,

I'm going through my first IVF as well. I should have my ET either tomorrow or Sunday. HANG IN THERE!!! I will probably be like you in a few days, but now I am VERY optimistic and hopeful, so I'm sending some of that your way.

About symptoms, don't look for them because it's way too early. I was pregnant once (natural) and at the time I could have sworn I was getting AF. I was shocked when the test came out positive because, as I said, I had all of the symptoms I get a few days before AF comes. Some women don't feel a thing. So hang in there, your time is coming

I wouldn't pay much attention to symptoms. Most of us don't get symptoms for a few weeks, some of us earlier...everyone and every pregnancy is individual. Also, if you're taking progesterone that imitates some of the pregnancy symptoms. With me, my breasts were tender, enlarged and veiny and they stayed that way after my MC and stayed that way until I stopped the progesterone. So, you just never know. There's a good chance you could be pregnant right now. The best advice I was given was to just sit back and relax and be good to yourself (easier siad than done, right?) Yep, the 2ww is a tough one. Best of luck to you!
