5dpt

After today I only have 4 more days to go. I have been very confident one minute that this worked and then not so much the next. I want to POAS so bad, I just keep telling myself to go buy one and just do it already, then I won't have to feel this worry anymore. Ugh, the mental battle I am having with myself is killing me. I was thinking about POAS on Thursday morning, the morning of beta day so when I get the call I will be prepared. I really can't imagine getting the call at work and not crying not matter what the result is. DH is dead set against that but he can be easily convinced. I also think the lab folk will mess up the results for me like they do every time I go there. 


I know many don't have any symptoms during the 2ww (9 days). But I just want to put it out there what I have had.


Symptoms: 1dpt & 2dpt: I didn't have much the first couple of days, just some light cramping in the uterus. It kinda felt like ovulation pain. Not strong at all.
3dpt: My breast are sore to touch. Sore lower back and tired quickly which I think both are related to bed rest.
4dpt: Super sore breasts, sore lower back and on/off AF type cramping but not as strong, super bloated. My entire body felt like I was run down, almost flu like but I am not sick.
5dpt: Sore breasts, not as sore as past days. Some of those AF type cramping again.


I know most of what I am feeling can and probably is due to the medications I am on, estrogen and progesterone. The week of Thanksgiving when I upped my estrogen I felt nauseous that entire week and my breast were super duper tender but the week of FET all of that went away. I can clearly not trust my body it is not my own. I just keep praying that this is working. 


After FET Medications: 
Vivelle (Estrogen, 4 patches) -changed every other day
Prometrium (Progesterone 200mg) -inserted vaginally 3x per day
Baby aspirin - one per day
Vitamin D supplement - one per night
Prenatal vitamins - one per night

  1. Please dont POAS! You can do it! Hold out!! :) Your symptoms sound like the ones I had. I especially had a lot of lower back pain and cramping on and off. AHH! Good luck!

  3. I think cramping is a good sign. I did have slight cramping around 4dpt. And a little back pain. Also, I did POAS after I got home from the Beta blood draw. I wanted to be prepared. So I think that is a rational thing to do.
    Good luck on waiting out the next few days! Fingers double crossed for you!

  4. Hang on honey - only a few days left!! Try not to POAS early, though maybe the day of your beta it'd make sense. Fingers crossed for you!!

  5. The POAS question is hard....I'm not upset that I did though. Your symptoms sound a lot like mine. I had terrible lower back pain at 5dp5dt. Crossing my fingers for you.

  6. Be strong! BTW, no fair that you're on prometrium, I'm on endometrin and it's $105/week! What's the method to your madness CCRM? : (

  7. I say hold off too. I just think staying positive is best now and POAS screws all of that up. Sending good vibes for a BFP+++++!

  8. Man oh man, this is the hard part. I HATE the symptom analysis thing - drives me crazy. I totally admire you for not POASing. I never can hold out, but I don't necessarily think that's a good thing. You are almost there though...I have my fingers crossed for you!!!

  9. The TWW is mental torture. I am usually okay the first half but sadly come unhinged during the second half of it. The symptom spotting is the worst since many of the meds can cause preg. symptoms so you just never know for sure until the beta. Stay strong.

  10. Don't do it! Wait until beta day. I know its easier said that done but POAS early is the worst thing, it will just drive you nuts. Stay strong. You can do it.

  12. I am SOOOO optimistic for you. I know the test will tell all but these are all good signs. I keep thinking of you. All the best for Thursday. I did POAS the night before because the result will be the same the next day. But any earlier is cheating and might give you a false negative. I am so glad for your symptoms and optimistic for you!!

  13. PS is your progesterone usually low? I remember being on 100mg once per day before the pregnancy test.
