One more week

We're just 7 days shy of finding out if this IUI cycle was a success or not. I'm nervous. Very nervous. Nothing I feel is pointing us solidly in either direction at this juncture, which is 9DPO (days past ovulation). I keep trying to remember what the days felt like leading up to our positive pregnancy test last September but I can't remember and I didn't keep track because I didn't want to torture myself with details. I'm so afraid it's going to be negative, but I'm also afraid it's going to be positive and that it won't last. But I'm more afraid that it will be negative.

For those of you who have had more than one pregnancy, did you feel the same or different leading up to finding out you were pregnant each time? I'm wondering if the next time I'm pregnant if the symptoms will reflect our last experience or if I should not expect to feel the same way... ie if I felt hot in the days leading up to my BFP in September, should I expect to feel hot again the next time? And if I don't, should I take that to mean I'm not pregnant?? Or is each pregnancy unique unto itself? I also had implantation bleeding super late last time (like 4 days before I tested)...should I be on the look out for that again?? I've asked a few women in my family but they can't remember their early symptoms, so if you do remember, can you please share? I'd really appreciate your input. I'm a nervous wreck. 

This is going to be the loooongest week.

  1. I've had a BFP with symptoms, a BFP without symptoms, a BFN with symptoms and a BFN without symptoms. (All with progesterone support.) I think symptoms are only useful in hindsight, maybe.

    Good luck!

  2. I don't know from personal experience, but I've been told that each pregnancy is different. I don't know if that involves the very beginning, but I can only imagine that it does. My fingers are still crossed for you :)
