Of course during the 2ww every little twinge and nudge is highly overanalyzed, but... at the same time, if I were to end up pregnant on this cycle I know I'll want to remember the first signs. I'm currently on day 22, 8dpo (or so we guessed) So, here is what I am experiencing that may, or may not be, out of the ordinary (sorry for the technicalities):
- Tiredness! Maybe it's just this time of year that everyone is tired, or maybe it's my low WBC levels... but I am finding myself tired way earlier than normal. By 9:00 at night I am yawning like crazy. I even texted my husband at 10:00 last night from the bed because I didn't want to go downstairs to get him.
- Sore back/neck - just on my right side especially
- Quite a bit of pressure in my lower abdomen. After the cramping stopped I was okay for a few days but now feel a bit of pressure now and then (especially at night). Hopefully that is not cysts from hyperstimulated ovaries, but apparently that is rarer with clomid.
- All week I've woken up at 3:30 and have to pee sooo bad. Also, when my bladder is full I feel more pressure down in the uterine area. After I pee I go back to bed and have to pee again really bad when I wake up at 7:30. That is not normal (maybe I'm drinking more before bed, but I don't think so...)
- CM discharge, sticky and white (not usual for this point in the cycle). I hear this could be due to high progesterone levels (hooray! and sorry if TMI)
- Today for the first time I have a headache and I NEVER get headaches. ?
- Every morning I wake up feeling like I was run over by a truck. Again, that is not out of the ordinary - I find mornings to be tough lately. Not quite sure what is up with that.
Anyways, that's where I'm at. I am not really expecting anything to be different this month, and not really thinking I am pregnant, BUT if I'm not... I think it is going to be a hard month (especially because it'll be just before Christmas).
Baby dust to all!
I hope so much that these are signs of pregnancy; I'm scared for you for the disappointment that if they might not be... but keep hope alive my friend. What an emotional journey this must be.

Thanks! I know I need to protect myself against disappointment. At the same time, I want to keep the hope because the success would mean so much more to me if it was something I was anticipating. I'm the type of person who loves the anticipation of things. I don't want to shortchange myself that anticipation; however it does have the potential to bring more pain with disappointment. Thanks for the support!
