The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[Isabel209]

For anyone who read my thread in December, i am sad to say it was all in my mind again, turned out to be a 33 day cycle. Who knew?
Have today visited the fertility clinic for my first appointment, the doctor said as my cycles are so irregular that would suggest that i am not ovulating and after another set of blood tests, i will probably have to take Clomid.
Can anyone offer any advice about this drug please?

hi dear,

i have been ttc for 8 months and my doctor suggested me to take clomid. when i took clomid, i had hot flashes, dizziness, depressive mood and blurred visions so doctor put me on femara instead (another fertility drug alternative to clomid). this means that clomid didnt work on me.

but, i have heard a lot of people giving good positive feedback about clomid and a lot got preggo with it... so if your doctor prescribed it for you, i would give it a try. watch out for the side effects and contact your doctor immediately if you notice any.

hope this helps

good luck

Hi

It worked for me in that it made me ovulate and have a 35 day cycles, now on my second round and on cd 8.

Good luck xxx

Thanks Beanwood,Isabel209 and Clo-mid,for offering your advice.
I will be following your progress, and i will keep posting how i get on.

It's so nice to be able to talk to people who are going through the same situation, my partner and i are trying to keep this all a big secret, It's great to be able to talk to someone!

Thanks

I spoke to my gynae by email today and she said that she is thinking that my problem is not only with the low progesterone. She thinks there is something wrong with my egg. I m making an appointment to speak about this because she really put me down and I absolutely feel depressed.

My gynae is not happy with me having a dry cycle. She said that it is important to have an amount of cervical mucus so the sperm can live in it and makes it easier to conceive. She wants both my estrogen and progesterone to get higher because having these two hormones low means that I am not ovulating well.

I don’t know what to do now. I absolutely feel that I am going out of my mind. I was feeling ok but now I feel soooooooo depressed. My gynae doesn’t want me to think about TTC but how can I do that? Its impossible not to think…. Everytime I approach ovulation, I make sure that I BD with my hubby so I don’t loose the chance.. everytime my AF is due, I make a pregnancy test to see it I got the egg….

But nothing is happening. Is anyone going through the same situation and wants to share emotions with me? I absolutely feel lonely and a failure. I don’t know what to do to help myself. I cant find the energy to exercise. All I want to do is sleep…

BTW, yesterday I noticed some bleeding in my mouth. I am 1 day past ovulation. Could this be a sign of something?

Please help me ladies. I know you can support me! Sorry for being too long!!!


Baby dust to all of you XXX

Hi girls

Hope you're all well. Just wanted to ask a quick question and get your opinions...

I have PCOS and am on clomid. I had an ectopic back in July so only have one tube. I started spotting brown discharge before Christmas, very light but just enough to use something to protect my panties. It went one for about 4 days and then stopped in between, and DH and I 'did the deed' a few times (between Christmas and New Year). I'm now in the situation where I'm spotting brown discharge again (extremely light but just enough to be annoying). I'm peeing like a racehorse (I actually counted how often I went to the loo in a 30 minute period - 7 times!!!). Each time it wasn't a massive amount of pee (sorry for TMI), but I just HAD to pee. I've done a couple of the internet cheapie HPTs but haven't seen a BFP on any of them yet. Do you think I could be pregnant or do you think it's wishful thinking?

Love,
Carmen. xx

mrsmoose - could be....Unfort. the only thing to do is wait but your symptoms sounds very promising!

Hi Isabel209, sorry you are feeling so low and depressed, is your doctor offering you any solutions for the dry cycle? We all understand how hugely emotional ttc is, and we are all here to support you , but you must look after yourself, keep excercising, keep as positive as possible. a
Alot can be said for the power of positivity, oh and baby dust apparently !!

my first big sign was a missed period but my bbs were sore and I felt really wet down there like a af started but everytime I ran to he bathroom there was nothing and period cramps then I eventually took a test and got a BFP

I just wanted to say that being on Clomid finally gave me a normal cycle. I found out that my LP is 12 days and before that I had no idea how long it was. I didn't get pregnant the first round, but I'm positive that my second (which I'll be starting in the next two weeks) will work.

I have suspected PCOS, but nothings been confirmed. I'm wishing all you ladies out there TTC good luck.

Ok i figured id add my symptoms b4 i got my and current symptoms as well...maybe it will help someone else out during their 2ww.

MY Symptoms: (Sorry for any TMI)
*Really sore nips and breasts
*Nipps protruding more then normal (first thing that tipped me off)
*Cramping in ovary and uterus area off and on
*Runny/stuffy nose
*Acne (which i never get)
*Nausea
*Vomiting (only 3 times)
*Itchy breasts/Nipps, belly and even unusual itchiness on hands, feet, and legs.
*Implantation Bleeding (started out just a few pink spots, thought AF was coming hubby and i BD then the spotting turned watery bright red discharge but was very light and not like a normal period for me at all)
*Slight cramping (kind of like AF cramping but barely noticeable)
*Breasts swollen/full feeling
*Bruised feeling rib cage

Not sure if i forgot anything or not. I dont know how many DPO i was when each symptom hit me as my periods are irregular. These are just the symptoms i noticed i still have some of them and others have faded away a bit.

and to all

Sore nipples
Lower backache
Pulling/tugging sensations in tummy
Blood in mucous when blowing nose
