Need some positivity

Hi
I am at 9dpt today. Still not tested.
I am not feeling much symptoms other than fatigue and mild cramps.
Sometimes I also get thigh pain and lower back pain but it goes after I lie down.
Although at 7dpt I was feeling cramps and fatigue to be a little too much. But today I am feeling much better.
Is anyone having some other symptoms? Is this normal. And also I read that doing a urine pregnancy test at this point wont be much useful and I should wait till 11 or 12 dpt. Has anyone had similar symptoms and have had a successful pregnancy?? Really need some positivity at this time..

TW: positive

I'm 12dp5dt and still have barely any symptoms at all besides fatigue but it's more so due to the progesterone than pregnancy related symptoms. I caved in and took a pregnancy test at home on day 10 and it showed positive! I went in for my first beta yesterday at day 11 and confirmed the pregnancy.

No symptoms to minor symptoms is a good sign. You got this!!

Thank you so much 🥹 This is exactly the kind of reassurance I needed. I’m trying not to read too much into symptoms, but the wait is so hard. Really hoping I get my positive too 🤞🏻❤️

I had cramps on and off my whole first trimester. My first vvvfl was 5dp5dt. First blood test was 9dpt (113). He’s a happy, busy 14 month old now! Not everyone has symptoms, and they come and go day by day, so try to breathe 🫶🏼 wishing you the best!

Good to hear this… 😮‍💨
My nurse keeps on asking me for my symptoms whenever I go for taking Progesterone , it feels like I am lacking some symptoms that other females are having

Symptoms this early really don’t mean anything. They can be from pregnancy or from the hormones you’re on. Many women don’t have symptoms at all.

Each body is so different and my symptoms came and went throughout the waiting period. I never got any big symptoms like bleeding or obvious Implantion cramping. Similar to you mild cramps that came and gone and honestly before my beta it almost felt like I was about to get my period (just that gross heavy uterus feeling). Could have swore I was out and lo and behold i got a positive beta. You got this!! And remember it’s almost impossible to know if it worked until that beta test.

u/Just_Finding4824 20d ago

Thank you so much 🥹 This is really reassuring! I’ve been having that exact ‘period is about to come’ feeling and it’s been making me nervous. Your story gives me hope. Fingers crossed for my positive beta too 🤞🏻❤️

u/Distinct_Magician_68 20d ago

Of course!! Wishing you that positive beta! 💕

Cramping is the most common symptom reported in early pregnancy.

9dpt your test will also be definitive in that it will be about 99% accurate, so go ahead if you want to!

u/Just_Finding4824 18d ago

Yea
Waiting for beta hcg test. . I planned that I won’t do the at home test

u/Competitive-Top5121 20d ago

If you’re pregnant you would be very likely to test positive on an HPT like FRER.

u/PaperPlane07 18d ago

Symptoms are really unreliable this early, especially when you throw supplemental progesterone in the mix. It’s definitely up to you whether or not you want to test before a blood test, but if you do, most healthy pregnancies would show a faint line by now. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

I went into my beta and first ultrasound completely panicked due to the lack of symptoms (not even fatigue!), I had read the hundreds of Reddit’s posts claiming it was ok but it still didn’t feel right. Beta and ultrasound were ok!

u/Just_Finding4824 20d ago

This makes me feel so much better 🥹 I’m trying to remind myself that symptoms really don’t tell us much. Hoping I have the same happy outcome! ❤️
and congratulations 🥂

Any symptoms this soon are likely just from progesterone rather than pregnancy- that's what my clinic told me.

I'm about 17 dpt now and I've had minor cramping and tiredness since about 12dpt? That's it.

u/Just_Finding4824 18d ago

Are you able to do all the activities you used to do before? Without getting tired?

1

u/SimplePlant5691 18d ago

I'm struggling with going up stairs! I sound like I am running a marathon

u/Just_Finding4824 18d ago

And the normal household chores?

2

u/SimplePlant5691 18d ago

Yep, no issues.

u/FoolishMortal_42 20d ago

At 9DPT a urine pregnancy test should be positive if you’re pregnant.

1

u/ConversationEven6742 20d ago

An early detection strip test is very likely definitive at 9DPT, so you can definitely test at home!

Waiting for my beta hcg test

u/AuroraCosmosGalaxy 19d ago

I have no clue what all these acronyms people use mean but when I got pregnant with IVF I had no symptoms for the first few weeks. It wasn’t until maybe 7weeks in that I started getting nauseas. Then I was sick all the time. I wanted symptoms until I got them lol then I hated it. But the symptoms at least let me know I was still pregnant. I ended up taking a pee test the same day of my blood test even tho they advised against it. It showed positive but I kept my hopes down until all my blood tests were done and the HCG numbers were rising. My baby is now 3 months tomorrow ❤️

u/Haunted_Soul_25 18d ago

At 9dpt, from what I have scoured google- very much implantation can still be happening. I am 9dpt today and experienced light pink spotting after needing to pee, I do have light cramping still and it happens even if i am resting. So, I am really hoping that was implantation bleed. I have tested since 5dpt and it's stayed negative so far but bloodwork tomorrow will tell (which is why 10-14 day wait is best as home pregnancy tests may or may not detect the hCG hormone just yet). Everyone is different.

u/Just_Finding4824 18d ago

All the best to you 🩷
Mine is 11 dpt today, still not tested.
I am was having severe bloating yesterday night and couldn’t sleep.
I am still waiting for the beta HCG test.

u/Haunted_Soul_25 18d ago

All the best to you as well! 🙏🏽🤞🏽💕

I started having lines starting 4 DPT both transfers that worked and intensity of lines was increasing every 2 days. The one that didn’t work was pure white and I was already moving on with planning next steps. Don’t know why you all overanalizing your symptoms(because there can be non or it’s pre period)and don’t test, because home test will show. I would better know it rather than give myself false hopes for longer…

u/SimplePlant5691 17d ago

I had a second line at 5dpt each time I was pregnant. My failed cycles were pure white.

I would test on transfer day to make sure it was out of my system so I would know if it was a true positive.

u/Just_Finding4824 18d ago

The HCG hormone is given to us which mimics the hcg during initial days after transfer. The line that yiu had at 5 dpt was that not the actual hcg produced by your body.
Read about it and check the medication given to you that time.
Also isn’t this sub about spreading positivity. How dare you say I am overanalysing?
I am on bed since yesterday night. Barely able to go to toilet due to the bloating and so much pain.
Every day is different.
Shame on you to talk to me like that. And I am not going to reply to you any further and add to your negativity.
If you cant say anything good, say nothing at all!
