Pregnyl, pregnancy symptoms.

[Ant]

Hi there, today is my 9th day post et. All this waiting is absolutely driving me nuts especially the symptoms I am feeling. I cannot seem to stop eating, my sense of smell seems to be more acute, I am nauseous, I look pregnant already, by breats are not as sore as a few days ago but I have this annoying dragging period like cramping feeling which is dull and achy. Is any of this normal? I just want to pee on a stick!!! But I know I can't because of the false reading. I am so tired, I want to close my eyes and sleep even as I type this...I think the worse part for me is the waiting and the abdominal pains. My blood test is on the 7th Sept - another 5 very very long days to go. I have been reading lots of sites etc but no one has said anything about increase in appetite. When I feel nauseous I have to eat something and I feel better, I am peeing so much and I am so thirsty all the time. What is going on with me?
Can anyone help please?

Ant good luck with the test in a couple of days, I send you strength to hold out untill then, last month I was 13dpiui and got a false positive,7 days after 1500iu pregnyl. I also was thirsty, peed a lot and was crampy.
I'm now on 2nd try at IUI, my 4th night of puregon 50iu.
I wish you all the best with your journey. I know the wait is agonising.
I that we both get a BFP this month.

Thanks for your email and words of encouragement. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold on any longer, so this morning (12 dpet) I peed on a stick and the results were negative. I am hoping that the blood test on Monday morning will show me a positive...but I'm not expecting the news I hope for. My period is due today but so far nothing...so possible that is good news?!?
All the best to you and I'm blowing buckets of Sticky Baby Fairy Dust your way. x Ant.

Hi Ant and murray cod,

You might like to jump over to the general support threads for long-term-ttc as you might find more members there in the same situation as yourselves.

Thanks Lenny. I will flip over to the other forum, thanks for the info.
I had my blood results back yesterday and it was a negative. Very bummed out!

I am sorry to hear that Ant. If you need support and help, I know you will find lots of it here on Bellybelly.
Good luck with your TTC journey.

I was looking for an answer to the Pregnyl question and found this on another question site:

Q: Can I use an HPT if I had an hCG injection (such as
Profasi, Pregnyl or Novarel)?

A: You can, but you should wait 7-14 days after your
last injection before the shot is out of your system.
If you test too soon, you might get a false positive.
Wait 14 days after a 10,000 IU injection, 10 days
after a 5,000 IU injection, or 7 days after a 2,500 IU
injection.

I went through the false positive cycle previously and it was pretty devastating.
Then I was using pregnyl every 3 days, but this time I haven't had one for over a week.

Ant, I get similar symptoms to you. I am sooooo tired, really sore (.)(.)'s and all of a sudden hunger. Must just be from the extra hormones flowing through our bodies. Unfortunately it can be from a real pregnancy (I was 2ce before but m/c'd) or from what the clinics give us to take. Frustrating to not be able to count on any particular signs!

Still have the dilemma - should I go try a HPT?!?
