Well, you wanted it. You got it! These are the "symptoms" I experienced during my 2ww (plus a little more). Most were not major, but there were a few that stood out apart from normal (they are in bold). Feel free to ask any questions.
March 1, 2012 - First IUI
d1piui - A little cramping, nothing major
d2piui - Had a terrible sleep, woke up in middle of night with horrible cramps (ovulation?), tender abdomen all day, a bit tired (this is what I have experienced on clomid each month around ovulation. of course, I was terribly worried that we had missed the ovulation window and that the washed sperm would miss their chance. And so we BD as much as possible during this time!)
d3piui - Sore lower back, pinching in abdomen twice in the afternoon, general tiredness
d4piui - Woke up tired and feeling blah
d4piui - Dry white CM
d5piui - EWCM, very sore lower back, had a very difficult time doing yoga (which is not normal for me). This was probably the first real "sign" that something was going on.
d6piui - Smelly morning urine (sorry if TMI), emotional (want to cry for no reason, angry, jealous), sore lower back
d7piui - Still emotional, sore lower back, then, at one point in the day I had a distinct pinching on the left side ovary, and later one shooting pain on right side (can you say implantation????). I have never had this symptom before.
d8piui - Little bit of pain on right side
d9piui - Nothing
d10piui - Nothing
d11piui - Took a urine test (which I found out later were duds) and... BFN. Felt fluish and extremely tired all day.
d12piui - Took another urine test and...BFN. Still felt fluish all day, very tired, sore throat at night. Again, yoga class was very hard to complete. I just didn't have much energy.
d13piui - Extremely tired, could not get out of bed, felt kind of like lump in stomach (thought it was flu)
d14piui - Went for HcG blood test and... ***BFP*** Had huge excema flare up, when exercising heart rate was very high, sore boobs? (not sure if from push-ups the previous day)
d15piui - ClearBlue test in morning = BFP. It's confirmed! Felt pretty normal all day. Sort of felt like AF was coming with slight cramping. Tired (because I hadn't slept much the night before, presumably).
d16piui - Woke up to cramping, almost gas-like in abdomen and slight pinching on right side. Feels like things are shuffling around a little.
And that brings us to today! I thought I'd also share my BBT calendar. I only charged on Fertility Friend this month and have kept paper copies previously. You can check it out here. I don't know for sure, but I'd say it kind of looks like a triphasic pattern to me? My temp has NEVER gone as high as 98.3 before.
Hope that's helpful for anyone currently in their 2ww. Thanks for listening!
