In the TWW? Are you having any symptoms?

I'm 8 dpo and noticing all kinds of crazy things that could be a combination of pms, pregnancy, or just in my head! Anyhow I'd love to hear from other women who are also waiting it out and tracking every little symptom.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm at the end of my TWW and was feeling some symptoms late last week. However, I don't know if they are side effects from the progesterone (prometrium) suppositories, pms or what??? I've had sore bb's, twinges (very mild pains) in my abdomen area, bloating, and thirst. I take a blood test on Wednesday to find out. What have you been experiencing? Have you ever taken progesterone suppositories? If so, have you have similar side effects?

[Meech7]

Ok, so I just went to the bathroom right now and when I wiped there was a very, very, very light pink on the paper. I wiped again and again there was a very light pale pink on the paper. Then it was gone. I'm supposed to start my period on December 7 (I'm very accurate...a;ways start on CD29); however, I'm wondering if my cycle is getting screwed up due to the progesterone suppositories. However, my nurse said that the suppositories is supposed to suppress your period until you stop taking them. What do you think?

[NicMom]

Yeah I heard the same thing about the progesterone. I have a script, but my ob doesn't want me to take it until I have a confirmed bfp. For some reason I have a hard time keeping a pregnancy past 5 weeks.

Do you usually have spotting before af? If not maybe it's a good sign! I started having cramping on the right side about 4dpo, sore bb's and hot flashes as of last night. I also had a little mild cramping more in the middle only for about 10 minutes 6dpo. All could be signs of an impending af. I can go to the dr for a test on friday, but they said not before that. It seems like time is frozen right now. I just want it to be friday already!

Keep me posted!

congratulations on finally getting to the tww! I did experience symptoms but like you I didn't know if it was all in my head, from pregnancy or what.  My appetite got HUGE I swear I had a bottomless pit as a stomach. I also feel tired alot faster, I get wiped out quick, even from standing in the shower to shave.  The good news is I got another bfp today and I am waiting for my first blood test results!  What are you experiencing?  There is more going on but I didn't want to write too much :-)  I hope your tww goes by fast

[NicMom]

Oh wow congratulations on your BFP! I know what you mean about wondering if it's all in your head. It's amazing how aware I have become of every little twinge and change that goes on with my body on a day to day basis now. I wish I could just slip into a two week time machine and just fast forward to testing day!

How many dpo did you wait before testing? I'm going to wait until 12, this friday.

[Meech7]

I don't usually spot before my AF. However, my AF starts off slow with spotting and then bright red. We will see what happens. I feel like all these hormones play total tricks with your mind. Ugh! I guess I can take a HPT, but I'm just going to hold out for a blood test on Wednesday.

Wow...all those symptoms so early...seems like a good sign...hopefully it's not AF, but a BFP! :)

I'm ok with the first part of the TWW...but I always get crazy at the last part. I just hate the disappointment. Hopefully, this month will be good for both of us. Keep me posted as well.

Ha ha   I syd i wsnt gonna obsess over every twing an then i see this post lol,   I am on 6dpo since thurs i wld have mild cramps like AF on both sides.  Yesterday I had some pretty strong cramps on the right side  plus i was a lil emotional.  Today i had very mild ones on my left and in the middle but other then tht not much expt my CM (i know TMI) is egg white today an tht is a first for me.

Hi. I'm 5 dpiui today and experiencing cramps around my ovaries and also in the middle of my belly. Right now I have cramps on my left ovary area. My other "symptoms" are I get very warm, have headaches, and sore bbs, especially the right one up by my armpits. Some little pimples on my face and upper back. I only had the ones on my face for one day. Oh, and a lot of dizziness, but I think it may be due to my sinuses. The headaches might be sinus related, too. I think I need to see my doc about my sinuses :0)

I wishing and hoping for all us girls to get BFPs!!!

[SueGre]

Ooh wicked cramps now. Owchie. And I just got sooooo sleepy. Please mean something good.........................

[NicMom]

That's so funny we all try not to get obsessed over the TWW, but you just can't help it!!

Please do keep me updated! I'm excited to see what other symptoms everyone else is having and how you are dealing with your own wait. I'm crossing my fingers for everyone!

[luvkayln]

This is my laid back cycle! But I saw this thread and thought I would throw my symptoms out there for the heck of it! :) We're going all natural this month, and if/when af shows, we're starting our first round of follistim!  I'm 5 dpo, and my bbs are very sore    ( especially my nipples and they feel extremely heavy! They're also sore on top and near my armpit area.) That started around 3 dpo, and usually doesn't start until 8 dpo. Also, my lower back is killing me! That just started today, but ouch!!! I've even turned the heated seat on in the car when i'm driving just to make it feel better! :) I've also been very tired today, not sure if it's the weather or what! Anyway, that's it for now! :)

[jjsh44]

I tested for the first time on day 9 past transfer.  And every day up until yesterday!! I know, I'm so bad, I just couldn't help myslef!

[NicMom]

Does your husband have any idea how much you spend on hpt's?? I know mine doesn't. I know I have no chance of bfp, but that didn't stop me from testing twice already also. If my husband had any idea he would be so mad. Between opk's, dr co pays, and hpt's I spend a couple hundred a month. I know it's nothing compared to what some have to fork out, but considering I don't tell my dh about the cost it makes me feel bad. Not bad enough to stop buying tests though ;-)

[ShySana]

So i have a question if I am 6dpo whn shld i test ?

[jjsh44]

ShySana: I think 6 might be too early and could give you a false reading.  I know it's sooo hard.   Maybe test around close to day 14 like day 10 or 12?  I hope you get a bfp!

luvkayln: I am crossing my fingers af stays put and doesn't show her ugly face.  But, that is sooo exciting you'll get to move another step forward if she does show.  Good luck to you-hang in there!

Nicmom: Yeah, he does know, but he was totally supportive of forkin out the cash for them!  Keep on testing............it will happen!

Sue:  I so so so hope this is it for you! The tiniest little things our bodies do differently can make us crazy. Come on bfp.........How is Traveler??

Meech:  Don't get too discouraged about the light pink, from what I understand it is normal. However, if it persists you should put in a call to your re.  Your cycle could possibly be getting messed up from progesterone and just everything you've gone through.  I hope this is the only IUI you'll have to do-sending you a ton of baby dust and love!!

[Meech7]

I know...I try not to get obsessed but I realy can't help it either! I really hope my symptoms are good ones...I'm hoping and praying for us all.

Thanks jjsh44 for the encouragement!

[SueGre]

Traveler is good! Thanks for asking! You can check out his new picture. He's on a walk with his dad right now. I'd really like to make him a REAL dad, you know!!!!

[Meech7]

Hi everyone,

Just an update...

It looks like AF surfaced through the progesterone suppositories. :( Not sure if I will contniue this month or take a break. I'm going to try one more time with IUI and injections (instead of three times) and then I'm moving on to IVF. Hope you all get BFPs this month! Take care. :)

[NicMom]

I'm sorry to hear that af showed afterall. Keep your head up and don't get discouraged! I hope to see a bfp post from you in the comming months.

[NicMom]

Oh yeah did AF come early? Didn't you think you shouldn't be expecting it until the 7th?

[ShySana]

Meech7~   Sorry to hear AF came early.


As for me I am home sick with a cold.  I hate being sick plus i feel nasuesus whnever i eat.  Can i just say how much i hate being sick?!  

[jjsh44]

I am sorry af showed. I hope you only have to do one more IUI.  You deserve a little bundle ( we all do!) Hang in there

[Meech7]

Thanks NicMom, ShySana and jjsh44! I will be ok...i hope th ebest for all of you! :)

NicMom - yes, my af arrived very early. I usually start on CD29 every month. However, I spoke with my Nurse Prationer and she said that she expected my af to arrive two weeks after my IUI +/- 2 days (I'm at CD24). So I guess it arrived promptly. :( On to the next cycle...keep me posted, k?

[NicMom]

I haven't had any real changes. Still getting hot flashes, stuffed up nose, sore bb's, oh but the cramping did stop. I don't know if thats a good sign or not. Last night my husband told me he thinks I'm pregnant. I asked him why he thought that and he said it's like all the color has drained from my face in the last few days. Just like the last time I was pregnant. I'm trying not to think about it and staying focused on christmas errands. In two more days I'll be testing so keep your fingers crossed!

[SueGre]

How exciting that you get to test in just 2 days! I get to test in 5 days. Your symptoms sound promising, too. I love that your DH thinks you are pregnant. I think that's an excellent sign. I look forward to checking in on Friday to see your results.

My hcg should be out by tomorrow. My bbs are so sore right now. They feel like they're on fire. Owchie! And I've had cramps all week.

Looking forward to next Monday but really nervous, too.

Fingers Crossed For You!

[ShySana]

Well 8dpo and still sick but took some meds so at least I feel a lil better.
I am still having cramps on my right side an wow do they somtimes hurt but am not sure if tht is a good thing or bad thing.  Any ideas ladies?

I am going to try an test on sunday which will be 12dpo keeping fingers crossed for BFP.

[NicMom]

Good luck to you as well! I had cramps for almost a week also, but they went away just as the bb pain and hot flashes started. I guess we'll find out in a couple of days if that was a good sign or bad.

ShySana, sounds like you and I had the same thing with the cramps on the side. I'll let you know how that worked out for me on friday. Hang in there and good luck!

[BabyMamma0]

[NicMom]

That's funny none of us can resist the urge to pee on a stick as long as it's in the house! I bought tests while I was at wallmart yesterday just so I would have them for this weekend and then I went ahead and used one last night anyways. It was bfn, but that was what I expected. It's still too early. Those all sound like good signs. I've got my figers crossed for you! Be sure to post again on Saturday after you test. Good luck!

[SueGre]

I tested this morning just to make sure the hcg is out. I've been having headaches every day for about 3-4 days and I thought it might be the hcg. But now that I know it's out I am wondering if it's a possible symptom.

NicMom: You're so funny. Testing like a true POASaholic!

BabyMamma0: Your symptoms sound very very promising! The bleeding may have implantation.

Hey, here's an idea, let's ALL get BFPs!

[ShySana]

Well day 9dpo and i am still sick YUCK!

I dnt knw if its cause i am sick or wht but i feel pretty bloated an sometimes nauseous after i eat.  Also my sense of smell is a bit stronger thn usual lol ( i sound like a dog or something) and i knw this is gonna be a lil TMI but has anyones CM changed?  Yesterday was creamy white and today its like light brown.  I am hoping its not AF since i dnt hv tht many cramps today.  anyone have an idea whts going on?
