I came off the pill 6 years ago come december. Passively TTC for 3 years, then got some testing and found that I have endo and blocked tubes. Had some surgery and a couple of HSG's - got a BFP following my second HSG which unfortunately resulted in a miscarriage. Had an IUI in Feb this year - BFN but my Dr feels that my tubes had blocked up again so we did IVF in July this year and got a BFP.
I got every single side effect under the sun from the progesterone and it made a very good job of making me feel pregnant - but then it turned out that I was anyway, so I'm not sure if it was the pregnancy or the progesterone or both - probably both really.
As for feeling different, I had no idea how this was going to go. As I was getting what I thought were progesterone side effects anyway, I really didn't want to get my hopes up.
Good luck sweets, I really hope you get your BFP.

we started trying Oct 2006 and started IVF October 2008. Went straight to IVF due to PCOS, and DH's motility and mobility issues. I also had a large dermoid tumor removed in that ttc naturally time. I was also on metformin (horrid stuff).
Our first IVF cycle included BFN for both the fresh transfer; and the FET in Feb 09. WIth the first cycel i was pretty sure it was going to work... just felt lucky. So was devastated when it didn't.
Did another full stim cycle in March 09 and got our first and only BFP that month (now nearly 26weeks). We have 2 frosties as well. with our BFP I was already planning our next full stim cycle as I felt so much like it hadn't worked and was not confident in the frosties.
I think that was a protection mechanism. But i even made DH ring the clinic cos I couldn't handle hearing the bad news at work again..... so i was floored and didn't believe him when he said it's a BFP! (it's still sinking in lol).
So for me, I was really hopeless at 'telling'. And i tried really hard not to read all that much into the 'symptoms' of the TWW (although that was very difficult).
We started trying naturally in Jan 06 and went to ICSI in about the September of that year we told our GP a little white lie and said we had been trying for a year cause I just knew something was wrong it turned out my Dh has a very low sperm count and motility issues. We did 3 full ICSI cycles but only did 2 transfers as one cycle was cancelled as I ovulated on my own and on our first natural FET we got our first BFP (our gorgeous son!!) and that was also the first time we transfer 2 embryos.
This time we did 3 FET all up the first 2 BFN and the last one was a BFP and we also transfered 2 embryos on that cycle aswell.
As you can see from my sig I had 2 stimulated cycles, with 2 fresh transfer and 2 frozen transfer. Got BFN for the first fresh transfer and the first frozen transfer in that batch of embryos. Got both BFP for the second lot but on the 2nd frozen transfer made it to the end. I now have a beautiful girl who is quitely sleeping by my bed at the moment. I have 4 frosties and hope to achieve another BFP in about 1.5 years time. I didn't feel anything different in the TWW and was in fact dissappointed because I POAS on day 11 post ovulation and got a BFN. I was peeing a lot and because I was measuring my temperature I had another surge in temperature on day 13 post O I did another POAS and got a BFP.
Jessie, can I ask you something. Your second child resulted from the same batch as your first child?? I have 4 frosties and am dreading the idea of pinning my hopes on them for our second child.
kahlan yes they are from the same batch! We put our last 2 back and I was so scared it wasnt going to work again and now I'm pregnant with Aiden's twin he he he (just born a couple of years apart!)
