2ww. Symptoms - are they same if negative test?

[Flumpette]

I know this is a delicate issue. I have done IVF before as per discussions in other threads and was successful.

I am on 2ww and want to know what symptoms are if a cycle ends up with a negative pg test(except for obvious ie. af (I assume that's a menstrual period - what does af stand for?).

Has anyone had a failed attempt where they have had cramp like feelings in their uterus when they don't normally have these with a normal period?

What else did you feel to make you feel that you may be pg only to receive a negative test?

I wondered as so far I've only read what people feel when they have a positive result.

Thanks for your help.

Can't answer your IV questions but best of luck and hope all goes well.

Thanks - I would never have guessed. I'd been trying to think what it could stand for!

I wondered that too.

Good luck, Flumpette.

flumpette, i just saw this thread

because of the fact that you are doing a ivf cycle, your symptons could be very very different to the symptons of a natural cycle

i know that with the pessaries (are you taking them? to help thicken the womb?) they can give you exact symptons of a pregnancy...how cruel is that one huh!!

im sorry i cant share my own experience as both my tests were positive when i did iui, however on the first attempt i didnt have sore boobs and i never had cramping and my pregnancy only lasted a week, very very low hcg levels

2nd attempt, i had the cramps and very very sore boobs and my hcg levels were high and went on to have a healthy baby boy

so its hard to tell, sorry couldnt be of much more help than that

If you look in the 2ww section of the bulletin board of www.carefertility.com you will see that unfortunately there is no such thing as symptoms that definitely mean a positive or definitely mean a neg - alomst any symptom could actually mean both as many ivf 2ww symptoms are actually down to cyclogest. Even bleeding does not necessarily mean a negative....
SORRY!!!

Bubbly/Bayleaf - Thank you for your replies and for sharing your experiences.

I'm looking for answers that are just not there.

4 days to go. I just have to be impatient. I keep saying that! x

I mean patient!
