Tell it to me straight-- did you/your partner have pregnancy symptoms in the tww on your successful cycle(s)? If so, what and when?
I'm 14 dpo/IUI and am feeling depressingly symptomless. It's also a little hard to tell since I'm on prometrium (200mg 3x/day). I see so many people on the internet talking about progesterone supplements causing all sorts of symptoms, which of course just makes my lack of symptoms worse.
The only symptom I had was that I was really hot all the time! It was also 90+ degrees out so I wasn't sure if it was due to the weather or to my body temp. But my temp being high past 13dpo was what made me test.
Also, when I am about to get my period I got cramps at like 11-12dpo. I didn't get cramps until 14dpo.
I had cramping every day from ET day and sore boobs from progesterone. That really was it. It was enough to drive me batty and wonder but not enough for me to think I was for sure pregnant.
I had virtually no symptoms in the 2ww any time I've been pregnant, but I am an early tester. I guess if I was counting the 2 weeks after ovulation, then I did have some spotting. But previous months I'd also had spotting leading up to AF. I wouldn't worry too much about a lack of symptoms. Fingers crossed for you!

I had zero symptoms. I was cramping and my breasts were sore but that was consistent with all previous cycles using progesterone. I don't think I could have been more surprised to see the second line come up. Are you planning on testing/have a beta? FX so hard for you!
I'm 5w1d and still having no symptoms. My breasts are fuller, but I had that when I took progesterone on unsuccessful cycles too. Hang in there! FX for a positive beta!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

I found that I noticed lots of 'symptoms' in unsuccessful cycles and virtually none in successful ones. I've also read that morning sickness most commonly kicks in at week 6. So you're definitely still in the game. FX for you!

Nada. Maybe a little tired, but I had family in town and we were running around like crazy people and staying up late, so I think it was more likely that and not the pregnancy making me tired at that point.

Congratulations! Now that I know it won't make you question your totally normal lack of symptoms, I can share that I am apparently a freak and started having nausea at 5dp5dt (so 3w3d pregnant going by LMP dating) this pregnancy. I also had super early nausea (around the same number of days past transfer) during my January IVF, which turned out to be a CP. I never had nausea with my other cycles (one other IVF and 2 FETs); apparently I'm just super sensitive to the hormones or something.
I wish you just enough symptoms in a couple weeks to be reassured, but not enough to be miserable, a rising beta, and a sticky, take-home baby!

Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
