Hi everyone,
I spent the last week or so going through these boards looking at the symptoms, and I promised myself if I got a positive, I would post my story.
I just turned 40. After eight months of no success, we were advised to undergo treatment with IVF. To my major disappointment, my fsh was high and AMH low and so it was suggested that I would not be a good responder to IVF. It turned out I wasn't: only 3 eggs were retrieved at collection, and only two of them fertilized. Thankfully, they were high quality embryos though: one 7 cell and one 9 cell with hardly any fragmentation.
I guess one (or two?) of them implanted because just a few days after my three day transfer, I started feeling a little "off".
Food aversions were my first real clue. I love pecans and was not able to eat them without thinking of cockroaches and gagging
I started having cravings for high protein foods like red meat and pork chops (I am normally not a fan of meat)
Breasts started getting larger and sore
A few night sweats
On and off nausea
My first beta was only 12 at 8dpt
I started getting worried the next day because some of symptoms (like the nausea) disappeared, but at 12dpt my beta was at 58.
At 12 days post transfer, I still feel breast soreness and my appetite is completely gone.
It's early days yet, but I'm desperately hoping that everything continues to go smoothly.
Good luck everyone!
