When did you start to feel something?

Hey guys,

ET was saturday morning, was a 5dt so I am now 5days past the 5dt.

When did those who got BFP's start to wonder and feel things? It's so hard to tell as I have really sore (.)(.) from the crinone, am feeling nauseous, tired, crampy etc.

Some moments I think that it will work, other times I feel hopeless that it won't.

And for some reason, I can't bring myself to join the 2ww group as I am scared, no idea why.

I hate this 2ww more than ANY OTHER!
Sorry for the rant.

Hi Sue, so sorry to see you are stressed, and totally understand why. For me, the Crinone always confused the issue, with bad cramps, sore BBs etc, on the cycle I got my BFP, I didn't feel any different to those of previous, and to be honest the same pre AF feelings stayed with me for a good 2 or 3 weeks following my BT. I was on 2 x Crinone a day, this was the reason I think, only now that I have dropped back the cramps have eased off.

For you there is every reason that this cycle will be a success, you have just a good a chance as anyone else, wishing you all the very best, not long to go now xx

Thank you so much for the prompt response. I am beside myself with anticipation. It has been so long for us TTC, we just want our little bundle.

I am journalling every night and trying to remind myself of the FACTS (which all do stack in my favour) and trying to stop focusing on how I'm feeling.

Thanks again for your support.

:hug: hugs Sue...I remember within a couple of hours of transfer I started getting heartburn. I've only ever had it when i was pregnant with DD, and while we know it was way too early then for me to be having symptoms, it was still a little freaky.
I remember cramping towards the end of my TWW and posting on here that I thought AF was on her way, and the other girls reminding me to be positive and that it could be the crinone playing havoc with me...it sucks that these drugs play with our bodies and minds so much...
Praying that all your symptoms are of the BFP kind and not the crinone :)

Nic

Thanks Nic!

Sue, big hugs hunni! I understand your anxiety and frasturation. I feel very blessed to have had two successful IVF cycles, both times I felt like AF was on her way right up until the BT. In the first fresh cycle, I had no sore BB, just cramping and in all honesty, I gave up on my BFP. On my recent second attempt, about 5 to 7 days after FET my BB were very sore (a lot more than AF sore, although not tingling ) and every time I went to empty my bladder I felt 'full' still. I also had niggly crampy feelings for a week after transfer and then since Thursday last week I have had the AF type cramps, so am still uneasy as it feels like AF is still coming! I gave in a week after the recent FET and did the HPT and I got the faintest of faint lines. I have not had any support/drugs in this FET cycle.
I wish you a BFP with all my heart hun, you deserve it so much. I only joined the 2WW thread this time around, as I didn't get the chance the first time and it was really lovely to get all the support there.
GL hun and I'm thinking of you :pray:

Thank you so much Beata, everyone's input is greatly appreciated.

I now have a long weekend, I decided to take tomorrow off and have some me time. So I am going shopping for a new handbag and a new bed!!

I just need to not be at work, where I am in front of my computer a lot of the time, therefore in front of Dr Google! The more I read, the more stressed I get LOL.

Thanks again for everyone's support, you guys are amazing.

The last two times when I had BFP's the cramps were much worse than the first BFN cycle, I thought was the "implantation" signals. Anyway I over analysed it to death and over worried of course. Everyone is different I suppose, that's the bottom line.

Hi Sue,
Thinking of you the 2ww is so difficult. During my 2ww I was convinced that it hadn't worked, had very bad cramping and was waiting for AF to appear at any minute! Had sore BB's but was sure all were signs of AF- it turned out that it was the crinone causing the cramping and I got my BFP- I was lucky enough to conceive on my first IVF cycle and am now almost 14 weeks! Miracles can happen, hang in there!

hello,

I was pregnant once a long time ago. I didnt have the IVF issues as I do with this current partner. I remember getting the cramping, very sore boobies, and wanting to go to the toilet alot not number 1's but number 2's. I thought I was getting a period only it wasn't arriving. I haven't had crinone but I wish you all the very best in getting pregnant.

:bluedust:

Thanks! The crinone side effects are pretty much pregnancy symptoms, so I am getting all of those things and it is impossible to tell why!

Thanks for the input.

i got cramping early on (way before my BFP).. i was 1000000000000% sure af was coming, well she did.... just 40 weeks later. I just felt abit off before my BFP. I got abit of heartburn. I remember my nipples being abit sore and the veins on my breasts sticking out. i found out i was pregnant when i was 4 weeks 4 days.

Guys, I just totally caved and did a test.

BFP.

I am in shock.
