Early pregnancy symptoms
Had my second IUI on July 3 and thought I would share my early pregnancy symptoms so far and hope others will as well. I checked other blogs out there and found the responses to be incredibly helpful, here goes:
1dpiui Started vacation today! Hopefully relaxation will help. Had lots of cramps and bloating. At end of day was very bloated, went for a walk and it was uncomfortable very bloated. Felt like I had to pee all the time. Went to bed, laid down for a while and felt a little better.
2dpiui Had a really severe cramp when I laid down to go to bed at night.
3 – 8 dpiui Minor cramping, thought is was gas. Gassy! Woke up 3 nights in a row at 2-3 a.m. to go pee. Had some weird dreams too.
9dpiui My temp was 98.0 in a.m., took an e.p.t. test, BFN. Had trouble getting to sleep when I went to bed at night. Was up until 1:30 a.m. and was upset/crying.
10dpiui My temp was 98.0 in a.m. Back to work today. Took a cvs cheapy test in a.m. and saw a very, very faint blue line. Looked at the stick at the end of the day and the faint blue line was still there. Could it be a BFP?? Still a little gassy and had diarrhea at end of day, weird.
11dpiui My temp dipped to 97.7. Took a First Response test and saw a very faint pink line but was slightly darker than that faint blue line yesterday. Husband looked at it and saw it too. Haven’t had my normal menstrual problems like cramps and migraine yet. Hoping all this is a good sign!
12dpiui My temp dipped again to 97.3. Took another First Response test and saw a pink line that was darker than yesterday! Still somewhat faint but getting darker! Husband looked at it and said there is now no doubt that I am pregnant. Felt a few little cramps today in lower abdomen, some of that was gas. Still gassy. Getting hungrier between meals. Just ordered a pizza, don’t want to get growling stomach. Also, yesterday and today I have increased heartburn that has aggravated my acid-reflux. However, might be related to carbonated juice I have been drinking in last few days.
Also, at 7pm took another HPT on a pharmacy cheapie and got a faint blue line but it is more pronounced and darker than the one I took on a cheapie at 10dpiui. My temp at 7pm was a 99. I sneezed a few times today and my head feels a little almost headachy or sinus stuffy. It just feels weird in my head, not a migraine though. Really excited! ))
13dpiui My temp of 97.9 this morning. Took another First Response test and saw the pink line same color but band was wider! I’m looking pretty BFP right now! Told my sister and she is screeching with happiness. Still pretty gassy and crampy. Been feeling tired all day and a little grouchy. Also, hungry and trying to eat more and more often. Took a HPT cheapie around 8:30pm and got a solid blue line, no question in my mind now. Really excited! My blood test won't be until 17dpiui (in four days). Can't wait!
I'll continue to post as the days pass. Good luck to everyone! sending sticky baby dust!

Thanks so much. I tested my fmu again this morning on two different hpt's.
BFP!!!!!
Both had lines that were darker and wider than yesterday. So happy and relieved.
I just feel great and love sharing the news, I want to give people hope.

So, I broke down and tested this morning. Saw a faint pink line on FRER. Tested again right away on a cheapie and got a more clear blue line. I am 10dp3dt and I am really excited!!!! I will continue to test for the next few days to make sure the line gets stronger. My blood test is in a week on 2/26. I am really relieved that I have made it over this hurdle. Hopefully this one will stick!!!!
I know I haven't posted in a while but here's the scoop:
I started IVF treatment in Jan 2010 and had the egg transfer of Feb 9. I had 5 good size follicles and they retrieved 5 eggs. 4 of the eggs fertilized and resulted in an 8 cell, 7cell and two 4 cells, all were grade 2 (1 is best, 5 is worst). They placed all 4 back in on Feb 12 and I am now 7dp egg retrieval. I am feeling good, had a lot of crampiness for the last few days but I rested a lot and am feeling much better today. So I am still in the tww and just trying to stay positive. wish me luck!!! *******baby dust********

Best of luck!!! I'm happy you finally got the green light for IVF and I hope the first time's a charm!
Finally met with doc on Dec. 14th and we are on GO for IVF in early January!!!! YAY!
I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I have been waiting to do this since May bu ... [More] t because of insurance I had to have 3 failed IUI's. 2 failed, one I got prg but miscarried at 9 weeks. Just want the miracle of science to help me have my first baby!! I pray everything goes well but am prepared for the worst. I am so thankful to all my medhelp friends who saw me through this last year - let's hope 2010 is our year of motherhood!
Insurance requires a bunch of updated tests so I had like 8 blood tests today and an AF scan. I will have to take clomid from day 5-9 for the ovarian reserve test. Do another blood test on 12/23 for fsh. Once the results are back, its submitted for insurance and then when I get AF around Jan. 10th, I start the process of IVF, transfer won't probably take place until late February. I'm very excited and I will keep you all posted as to the progress. I just feel so good knowing that there is a real plan in place for the new year - its all very exciting!!!! Wish me luck!!!
