This is my first post although I've been grateful to this forum for the posts I've read throughout the stressful IVF process.
I'd love a little advice--after many months of ttc (18 to be exact) and failed cycles, we *finally* got a BFP after an FET cycle, transferring 2 embryos. DH and I are thrilled but very cautious because of past failures. My past issues have been thin uterine lining and a drop off of progesterone level (and early spotting) in the luteal phase.
I am now 6 weeks pg and we have our 1st u/s scheduled for next week (could have been this week but we're on vacation). Betas #1 and #2 were really strong--232 and then 746! Dr. said no need for a 3rd b/c they were so strong so now we're waiting for the next visit.
The issue is this--after our BFP, I started to have some symptoms, extreme thirst, dizziness, some cramping, slightly sore BBs. However, in the past week or so, I feel like the symptoms have dropped off or at least I can attribute the symptoms to the progesterone I'm taking (2 Prometrium orally x day and 3 Endometrum suppository x day).
The other thing is that I've been spotting pretty regularly every day since before the BFP. The spotting is generally brownish which I've been told is not usually something to worry about but sometimes it's pink as well. I talked to the Dr. about it before we left for vacation and they said just take it easy, etc. and there's not much they can do until we come in to get the u/s anyway. I realize the Endometrin can be really irritating so I'm hoping that's all it is but, coupled with the drop off of symptoms, I'm worried.
Of course I'm freaking out because it's all I can think about and I'm having a hard time relaxing on my vacation. I'm hoping someone out there has some reassuring words or thoughts--either way, I just wish I knew what is going on! I realize I may just have to be patient but it's so hard after all we've been through.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I just think pregnancy is weird, and there is not much you can do about it. I, too, had several failures before finally getting pregnant. I was convinced that my last pregnancy was doomed to fail since with my earlier pregnancies I had symptoms, but with my successful one, I had none. Also, I had one incident of spotting. The spotting can be caused by a bunch of things: progesterone suppositories, intercourse, uterine contractions, sub-chorionic bleeds.

I know it's easier said than done, but try not to over-analyze everything. The only useful diagnostic tool at this point will be the u/s ... waxing and waning symptoms and the occasional spotting don't tell you much of anything.

Hi all,
I am 18dp3dt. I received a on 13dp3dt of 319.. Dr has me taking prometrium 200mg x5 a day. I have been feeling some nausea. Like one min I feel fine next min i feel a little nausea. In the real world i am only 5 days late with my period....I was taking progesterone injections, had an allgeric reaction and switch to vag inserts of prometrium. I have been taking progesterone for 2 1/2weeks(between injection and vag inserts).

Is the nausea from the prometrium or being preg?????
Anyone's help would great,

It's so hard to say what might be happening. I spotted off and on the first several weeks of my pregnancy. Everything was fine.
