I'm interested to see anyone who has had a positive pregnancy test, what signs/symptoms did you feel during your LONG 2 week wait, if any?
If you know specific number days include them please.

    The wait was awful. It worked on my second try and I knew I was prego when I started craving sweets. I felt this weird pinching sensation in my uterus and I thought for sure that my period was going to start any minutes for days on end.

    Stay positive and try to relax.

    I was on my 3rd IUI and I refused to test early. The first 2 attempts I would test 4 days before my missed period, then I would get all sad but I would somehow convince myself it was just too early. So I would test again a few days later and would be negative again and the depression would start all over. The 3rd time around I refused to put myself through that again. But I *think* it was 11 dpiui that I started to get nauseated. I think it may have been a few days sooner, but day 11 was the most intense, so I let myself test the next morning and got my BFP!! That's really the only symptom I felt for a while.

    Hey ladies!

    @ Momsquared- Any updates?!?!

    @ Mango-congrats to you! How are you feeling?

    @Hopeful-Congrats to you as well! Most amazing feeling! How are you feeling?!?!

    Well...to share my story...just got my BFP this past Sunday, we were 12dpiui. It was our 4th cycle. I had really no symptoms...just super sleepy and bloated which has happened every cycle. We tested Sunday and could not believe it! Sunday evening I started having some minor cramping...came and went...nothing crazy. Since then I have had it off and on...Had BETA yesterday and looks great so far!

    Hugs and baby dust to all!

    Thank you all for giving me hope. I'm on my 4th IUI, second try with Clomid. I am 9dpiui and the wait is killing me. My period is scheduled to start Sunday, blood test this coming Wednesday. I keep waiting for my body to let me know I'm pregnant, but nothing. Just some cramping, but that could also be from the impending period or progesterone capsules I insert twice a day.

    Hugs to all!! :)

    I just got my BFP yesterday! My next cycle is suppose to start Monday. I took a First Response pregnancy test a few days ago and got a second line so faint I had to talk myself out of thinking it was real. Then yesterday I cut the amount of water I was drinking and suddenly, bam! There it was. I've tested a few times since then and that beautiful little line is still there.

    Like everyone else, I paid attention to every little thing that happened in my body during my 2WW. I tried very, very, hard to not let myself think that anything was a pregnancy symptom though. I was afraid of being even more disappointed if I'd convinced myself that it had worked.

    I'm not sure what I think of taking the tests early. I know I couldn't wait but not seeing a bold second line the first few times really, really made me depressed. I regretted taking them early, right up until I got the second line. The worst part about taking it early is that you don't know if it's correct or not. If you take it early, there is a very good chance that you will get a false negative. Seeing the negative really messes with your emotions and not knowing if it is a true negative or a false negative is really tough.

    Anyways, this is what I felt during my 2ww.

    I had cramping in my side from day 5-7.

    I swear I felt a "pull" coming from right behind my belly button that I think might have been implantation.

    My breasts got sore and tender at about day 8 or 9 after my iui and have stayed that way, or perhaps have gotten even more uncomfortable.

    I also seemed to be more sensitive to certain smells. For instance, I was showering and noticed the smell of my shampoo and soap in a way I never really had before.

    I'm only a few weeks in at this point and aside from nausea after I take my prenatal vitamins I don't feel all that different from normal. I wish I did. I need more to convince myself that it's real. I keep taking pregnancy tests just to reassure myself that they are staying positive.

    Good luck to all of you who are still waiting it out or are prepping for another try. It's so tough but that little baby is going to be so worth it!
