Non pregnancy pregnancy symptoms

A couple more days and I'll be half way through the 2ww. Which is another way of saying that it has been a whopping 2 days since my 3 day embryo transfer ;)

Right now I have what feels like the worst case of PMS going on. Thanks to being shot with 1 and 1/2 cc's of progesterone in the butt, plus taking estrogen pills 3X a day on top of the patches, I'm a giant bowl of hormonal soup. My boobs are the size of Texas and are SORE , I feel weird random cramps and twinges, and I seem to be endlessly hungry. On top of this, the prenatal vitamins make me feel queasy and give me heartburn. (I take them at night, because otherwise it bothers me during the day. Now I remember why I stopped taking the *beeping* things during pregnancy last time. Vitamins don't agree with me).

These symptoms bother me because they will only continue the more progesterone I do. In the past, I have been able to separate the real pregnancy symptoms from the drug induced pregnancy symptoms, but I don't think I will be able to this time. I just wish I didn't feel like I'm on the verge of the period from Hell ;)

  1. Hopefully all the drug induced symptoms will result in the pregnancy induced symptoms!

  2. Ok, so I'm not imagining the constant hunger! I guess that's the POI talking. I am eating round the clock, it seems. I told the hubby today that it was probably psychological, but it certainly doesn't feel that way!

    I'm with you on the sore boobs, too. Mine have hurt since trigger, so I'm automatically discounting that one. I'm not on estrogen patches this time (I was the previous two times), so I'm wondering what "symptoms" (if any) I will actually feel.

    Here's to halfway to halfway to beta!!!!!

    Hugs,

  3. Oh no, you're not imagining it. Just like PMS I'm REALLY hungry and want to eat really bad, greasy, salty stuff. Stupid POI ;)
