Confused with symptoms? Please help...
| Mon, 10-20-2003 - 7:41pm |
by our calculations, i could very well be pg, but now i'm not sure. AF isn't due until saturday, so i know i can't accurately test right now. i've had a little lower back pain and some more gas than is normal (lol), as well as swollen bb's. i haven't had the usual bloating i get with pms or the "need to feed" like i normally do. however, tonight i am very hungry and feel like i could eat and eat. maybe i'm not pg. can you have pms symptoms if you're pg?
i have twinge cramping, but it's so infrequent, i don't think it's much of anything. if i conceived on 10/11, when would i feel implantation cramps?
when is the earliest i can test? argh....waiting is the worst. with my first two, we weren't really ttc, so i didn't pay attention to all this stuff. any suggestions?
tia!!!

Hello. Well you and I must of Oed on the same day, I also Oed on cd 17 which was 10/11! I am 9dpo like you today. Got my progesterone level blood test today and my doc said that a level over 10 for non-medicated (no fertility drugs) and they like to see a level over 15 with clomid, or drug of same. I got my levels back from 7dpo (I took the test at 6dpo since the 7th day fell on a Saturday) my levels today were 35.6!
I am on clomid, 100mg cd 4-8 (just finished it for this cycle) my doc said they were double what the usual level is. People say you can "sometimes" tell if you're pg with the levels being high but some have had very high levels, higher than mine and have not been pg, it's too hard to tell. I am having a lot of symptoms though since 1dpo, sore nipp's, heartburn, cramping like crazy (dull and twinging cramps- a lot, everday), headaches, now bb's are getting more sore each day and I had a implantion dip (I hope) at 8dpo and temp rose again today to high. Not holding my breath, it could be from the clomid. I will test on cd 12, this Thurs. I am a bit nervous but I have a lot of positive signs. We'll see! So hope this gives you some idea of the levels. Do you temp or use Fertility Friend on line? Here is the link to my chart with my dip and rising temps. Fingers crossed. GL to both of us!!!!

julie...i hope you get a BFP on thursday!! be sure to keep me posted! i don't track anything, as this would be #3 for us, so we're going to be patient for now. but i'm starting to understand my cm and my cycle fairly well. since i went off bcp back in february, my cycles have been anywhere from 25 to 32 days, but they seem to have averaged to 28 the last few months. other than that, i don't know anything about temps or how to chart. i should learn. i'll visit that site!
thanks!!!
