Jen-I have been following your journey and am praying for your BFP. Hang in there and don't worry about symptoms or lack thereof. I was in the zero symptom club.

I just got the results of my b/w from this AM.

E2 - 2678 (she said they want it over 200)
Progesterone - 178 (they want it over 20)

I guess this doesn't really tell me anything, but I am glad they are good.

Jen your prog and E2 numbers look good!

I got my bw results back - BFP!! I am thrilled.

I vote you wait on the hpt's I took 2 and they were negative and then my blood test came back positive so dont put much stake in them. I also have felt nothing so like someone else said dont worry about the no symptoms thing.

I will be following your journey to your beta. Good Luck!

Ann! FANTASTIC! Hoping that things go great. Now, if you don't put up some tickers soon I'm going to have to hack into your account and do it myself. J/K. I don't know how.

Jen, yay. Good b/w is always a good thing.

Weird, my bb's are really not sore. But I feel a little crampy & very achy like I do before I start, I am even more bloated, and when I was getting a pedicure I had a strange rush of nausea. Actually, getting more crampy as I type this. Not reading into anything, but I wanted to document so I don't forget.

About to get ready for our Anniversary dinner with DH! Yum!

Ann-Congrats!

Jen-See......it doesn't matter what we are feeling you truly never know. I'm holding out for you. Just wanted to share I'm still feeling bloated too and kind of uncomfortable.....told DH if I'm not pg then I'm kicking his ass when this is over. HA HA.

Heidi - They get such the easy part of this deal. We get poked & prodded & bloated.

We just went to dinner at an AMAZING restaurant, III Forks, & I had a great meal. But now I feel even more bloated & very crampy. I just checked for AF it was so uncomfortable. She hasn't shown yet! So when should I expect AF? I have been 30-34 days on most medicated cycles, but with IVF, I am not really sure when Day 1 was (if it like other cycles of if the cycle starts when I start Lupron, etc). I have no idea when I should expect her so I know if she is late.

I am up way too early today. Yuck. The weirdest thing just happened to me.
I woke up with a stomach cramp - up high in between my ribs (where I think the stomach really is). It felt like I took a vitamin on an empty stomach. It was very uncomfortable & getting worse so I got up. I let the dogs out & then went to the bathroom. The smell of the soap made me feel worse so I went back upstairs to our bathroom. I sat on a bench & started to get really hot - my whole body was red & I just started sweating like crazy and my heart was racing. I grabbed the trash can b/c I thought I might get sick, but I didn't. Instead I decided to lay down on the cool tile. I layed there for about 10 minutes until I felt better. My stomach still hurt, but the rest went away, so I got up. The tile was damp where I had been laying. This whole thing really freaked me out.

I didn't eat or drink anything unusual last night. I'm very confused. I feel ok now, but my stomach still hurts a little. I think I am going to try to eat something shortly.

I am soooooo bloated now. It actually hurts to sit up straight. The only time I am comfortable is when I am laying down. If I am pg I will totally get through this, but if I am not, this just sucks.

Jen I remember overanalyzing every twinge and feeling too!!! However maybe these are positive symptoms that you are pregnant!!! I cant wait for you bw results and I am sure time is standing still for you. I have been thinking positive thoughts for you.



Ann Congrats on the BFP!!!!! Keep us posted. Will you be finding out the gender when the time comes???

Jen-I just posted in the IF thread. I have many of the same things going on. I finally got past feeling really bloated and uncomfortable yesterday (which I know is not AF type symptoms only because I get bloated for 1-2 days and this was almost a week and more uncomfortable). Still look bloated though. Then last night when we got home my stomach started hurting and my ribs. The only comfort I had was laying in bed stretched out on my back. My stomach feels sore as if I've been doing crunches or something. I definitely didn't feel this way during my last medicated cycle. I feel the same as you.........if I'm not pg this really suck as makes me not want to go through this again to some extent!

Heidi - I am up again with stomach cramps, worse than yesterday. Again. LIke i took a vitamin on an empty stomach, but worse. I am trying to eat some saltines, but they aren;t helping. Grrrrrr!
I took some Gax-X thin strips last night & they helped with the other issues that I was having. I guess I just had intestinal gas (according to webmd). But this stomach thing is different. I am so uncomfortable, I am kind of sweating. Not sure what to do.

__________________

My stomach cramps or any cramps have been quick, sharp pains and go away other than the sore feeling I have. I hope you find some relief. I was starting to get worried because of how uncomfortable I felt. But I think as the 2nd HCG shot gets out of my system I feel a little better. May be if by tomorrow it doesn't get better you should check in with the RE's office just to be sure.

Well, the symptoms got worse again so I woke DH up. He tried to rub my back & it made me get sick even though my stomach was practically empty. So I was officially sick in the morning. Its got to be too early for this, right?
10:30 - My stomach still hurts & I am afraid to eat or drink anything. I told DH I wanted to test today, but he wants to wait. I just feel like this stuff is happening for a reason. I called my Dr & left a vmail, so hopefully they will call me today.

10:45 - The pain has started to subside - so it lasted about 1.5 hours total.

11:30 - The nurse just called me back & told me that I should go in for an u/s tomorrow. She said it is too early for morning sickness & could be distention, hyperstimulation or something else. Now I have more stuff to worry about & that gives me alot more to google today.
