Early Pregnancy Symptoms after IVF
by cbw7, Nov 29, 2008 10:04AM
I am 44 years old. This is our second ICSI-IVF treatment. I still produce good quality eggs, which is a good thing. However, I am not 25 so it is harder to get pregnant. This second time the doctor gave me hormones and I produced many follicules, but there were 6 eggs. The day the doctor retrieved them, he found out that two eggs were already gone, so he retrieved 4 and fertilized them by ICSI. That was on November 26. The following day (Nov 27) I had an Artifitial Insemmination, because the doctor said those two eggs were still in my tubes so they could be fertilized. On November 28 they transfer 3 eggs (grade 1, 2 and 3, they were 3, 4, 5 or more cells). I know it is very early to know if I am pregnant, plus the hormones I am taking can give similar symptoms. However, I would like to exchange experience with you during this 2WW period. I am kind of peeing a lot, I breasts are swallowed, and I have a little bit of cramps, very soft, not that hard. It feels like when you are going to have your period. I hope all of you will get pregnant!

I hope ivf works for you!!
From what I have read but don't know for sure, is that your body basically thinks it is pregnant from the progesterone and other meds you take post retrieval (sort of like when you would take BCPs) that you wouldn't have symptoms of AF.
