ivf signs of pregnancy question

[emriprel]

Hi, this is my first cycle with IVf. my transfer was done on day five. my embryos were both graded 4-B. today is day 12. im questioning some pregnancy symptoms. i have swollen breast with very tender nipples, im very moody and tierd. shockingly i am already bloated. this will be my 7th pregnancy but first time with ivf. im not sure if these symptoms could be related to the progestrone and i do not want to get myself excited to be let down. i am in very good shape before i started this procedure i ran  15 miles a week. therefor my bloating isnt due to over eating;) are these symptoms that can be related to the progestrone or true pregnancy symptoms.

any news?

Hi!
The symptoms are due to progesterone.  However, that doesn't rule out the possibility that you are pregnant.  Its just too soon to tell.  Because you have had so many pregnancies (any term?) you should be a prime candidate for another one.  Being in good shape and keeping the blood flowing to the reproductive organs is also very important.
Hope all goes well!
