New Poster- I get that round ligament pain in the 2WW whether BFP or BFN. it's from the PIO shots. Were you taking PIO shots?

No symptoms at all in the 2ww for my bfp.

TMI: We did IUI. I had really bad diarrhea around the time implantation should have occurred. Other than that, I had less "symptoms" than in the year+ before that, when I was convinced I am pregnant.

I'm not that girl even after many failed cycles, a successful birth and now 5w2d along with #2. I have regular cycles and don't experience cramps or other PMS symptoms. When I'm on PIO, I don't feel any different either--zero symptoms. I can absolutely tell when HCG is in my bloodstream, because I get symptoms very early. (Been pregnant 5 times: 9w loss, 22w birth/loss, birth of LO, c/p and now this current pregnancy.) Here are my general symptoms:
5dt--feeling fine, maybe very light cramping
1dp5dt--light cramping from time to time with the occasional light pinch
2dp5dt--sore throat, some cramping
3dp5dt--sore throat w/cough & queasy
4dp5dt--queasy
5dp5dt--queasy + the start of an unquenchable thirst
Ongoing--heavy feeling in my uterus (only felt this this past time, because I remember what it felt like with previous pregnancies.)

My boobs don't get bigger or hurt, but my nipples will occasionally feel a slight burning feeling. The hot flashes and crazy dreams only started a week or so ago after it was clear I had a BFP.

The only consistent symptoms through all BFN and BFP cycles? Sky high anxiety. Good luck to you, OP!

It is in the bloodstream for many IVFers: unless it's a FET or Lupron trigger there is a ton of HCG in they system from the trigger.

Just got a BPF last week. Absolutely no symptoms in the TWW. Nothing. And no symptoms a week later. So I'm anxiously awaiting the 6 week ultrasound and checking for a heartbeat.

When I got excited because it felt like i was pregnant I got a negative. When I was sure it was utterly hopeless and I felt nothing I got my only positive.

It's wasted energy IMO.

EXACTLY - hopefully you get a wonderful BFP either way!! But when I was sure I was pregnant - I wasn't and when I got my BFPs - I didn't feel any symptoms!

Were you on PIO all of those times? No symptoms on PIO?

The two that distinguished it for me were a stuffy/runny nose and a "feeling" that I was pregnant. Like a fluttery, electric spasm in my womb - it was really quick but has always happened for me. (Four losses and two live births.) good luck!
