Symptom Check

[jilianporter]

Ok ladies.  I'd like to compare symptoms.  This is my 3rd pregnancy, but the last one was over 2 years ago and ended in a miscarriage at 6weeks...my first was with my DD 4 years ago, so I can hardly remember what this feels like.  I just remember being EXHAUSTED with her (that was my first cue to take a test).  This time around since we've been TTC over 2 years, of course I pay attention to every little symptom.

I just got my BFP today (12dpIUI) and my only real symptom is tender breasts.  On 7&8 dpIUI i was once again EXHAUSTED (which made me hopeful for the first time in forever that I was pregnant) but the last 3 days I've been good energy wise.  Hoping that isn't a bad sign.

Anyway, I just wanted to see how everyones symptoms have been progressing.

You ladies are having a rough time of it! It makes me feel a little guilty, to be honest. I have days of utter exhaustion (and I will sleep, sleep, sleep!), but otherwise I am good. I attribute this in part to my wierd habit of waking around 3 AM and not going back to sIeep, so it's sort of a cycle which fortunately seems to coincide with the weekends. If I let myself get hungry I will get nauseous, but otherwise I am good (except for one day I was nauseous all day and I really disliked that!). I can eat all the usual stuff. I do miss my evening glass of wine though! (Oh well, small price to pay). I had early cramping, but not so much anymore (I am 7 weeks). My breasts were wicked sore when I went through IVF, now I feel them but I wouldn't call it painful... they are just bigger and feel full  (yeah!). I have abdominal bloating, so one minute I have a sizable baby bump, the next it's virtually undetectable to anyone but me or my husband. This whole experience is a trip! I jokingly say an alien has taken over my body... which isn't untrue at all, I guess. Well, actually two have! I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! It helps to read everyone's symptoms to remind me it isn't all in my head, this stuff is normal and I am not alone!

I just found out I am pregnant with #3. I have one DD who is 6yrs old, and my last pregnancy also ended at 6 wks back in Feb. Well I found out on 4/13, I noticed that I had gained a few pounds, so I knew something was up. I had pretty much given up for this month since I tested on 4/5 and had a bfn. What I did notice different was a lot of heartburn which is by the way, very rare for me. That is why I tested. I find myself very exhausted in the afternoons, also have some breast tenderness, and a little cramping that usually goes away after a nap.

My EDD is 12/21...i'm just 4 wks 3 days along...today i'm feeling icky though.  Boobs are still sore (not horrible by any means), mild tenderness.  I see a pattern though...they are less sore when I wake up and get worse during the day.  Only painful if they get squished (like when my DD jumps on me lol).  Today is the first day I am thinking...hmmm is this morning sickness?  i'm just feeling yucky all around so we will see.

JILIANPORTER - what's your edd? Mines Dec. 2ndish!! Update on my symptoms, boobs not as sore and the morning sickness continues, yellow bile 2x this morning!!

I think I have the latest EDD of the bunch...so I guess it's not a surprise I just don't have many symptoms.  The bbs are still mildly sore, and I do have the occassional cramp.  Otherwise, really nada.  that is why it is still surreal I'm pg because I just don't feel it!  I'm sure it will kick in soon though...
