Here's a pic of me (right), with my sister and one of her sons. This was last November. (Just a random pic for y'all)
So it's 4DPO and I'm starting to go insane. Dammit, I told myself I wouldn't. Wouldn't it be great to just Fast Forward through 2 weeks, and get the results already? As if I'd forget, I obsess and remind myself every 5 minutes that I'm 4DPO. Then I count back from Friday afternoon, to make sure my calculation is correct. Yes, it is. Even the 100th time I do that math, it works out the same.
I promised Becky I wouldn't google any symptoms until Saturday. (Don't tell her, but I've secretly googled maybe 4x) :)
To be honest, I don't have any symptoms. Some cramping around my ovary, and more in my side. The progesterone is a killer - super bloated, like, I can't button my jeans. And it makes me so damn gassy.
It seems like the earliest I would feel symptoms is around 7-10DPO, or even 14DPO. So I need to just suck it up. Oh, I found someone who is using my same donor. She's tried 5x, and still not pregnant. I wonder if it's the donor, or something unrelated. We'll, we'll try two more times with our donor.
That's about all for now. I'm trying to keep my head on straight, and not get swept up in 2WW mania. Since we thought we'd have to wait one more month to try again (due to the cyst), I should consider this the freebie month. I hope it's a positive!
For those of you who are pregnant, how early did you start feeling symptoms?

How did you feel when you met someone using your donor? I've wondered about that (and actually worried about it. I mean, my donor is currently sold out so I know other people are using the same one, but I've never met anyone IRL) .... Wishing you a peaceful TWW (Hah! I know how hard it is!!!!) Good luck! And fingers crossed for you.
Funny. the way I found out that someone else is using our donor was I went on the Cali cryobank site the other day to see if our donor had more vials yet and there were all these messages on the board from this couple searching for anyone with vials of his to sell. I felt badly that we have some vials and don't wanna sell them...But I did leave her a message saying that we may have half sibs.
You're doin great with the tww...though I must say I miss the funny obsessing because it entertains me hahaha.
Fingers and toes crossed!
first symptoms i have to say were feeling like i was still ovulating after the insemination for a few days.
i may have had some some spotting at around 5dpo, but i'm not 100% sure.
the first noticable sign through for me was waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom! i never used to do that, and suddenly at like 7dpo i was up at least twice a night using the restroom.
i also noticed that i would get tired early that second week. i still had much of a college student sleep schedule (going to be well after midnight) but suddenly i noticed that i was just pass out tired at like 10pm.
the tingly nipple thing didn't start until around 10 or 11dpo. and even then, i kinda dismissed it because i had had it in prior months.
hope that helps!
Not pregnant, just thought I'm chime in with my encouragement.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Four days down. Hooray!!!
Okay, good luck. You are four days closer than you were before. :)
My earliest symptom was extreme bloating on 7 dpo (It was not progesterone induced, but I think it might have been the egg mcmuffin I ate that morning.)Around the same time I had this weird sensation like someone shooting rubber bands in my uterus. Then on 10 dpo my boobs started killing me....and they still are.
GL and try not to obsess too much, yeah, right!
yay, fingers crossed.... my first symptom if you go back and look at ,blog was turning off food i normally love (corn) which was weird, and then heartburn when i "tried" to get drunk, it was my wife's birthday, i was sure i wasnt preg so we went out to get drunk, and after 4 drinks i couldnt stomach anymore, i still didnt click though! hahaha... so dumb! anyway, best of luck!!!
I'm 6 weeks pg and still waiting for symptoms! The only indications so far have been the positive tests.
Good luck!
