AF Has Arrived, but that's not the worst part... - Infertility Message Board

The WORST part, is that for the last four days I've been nauseous, had headaches, had a nasty taste in my mouth and many other lovely symptoms telling me that perhaps my IUI had worked.

Great, so now along with having the horrific 2ww all over again, I have a mind that's so strong it's going to create phantom symptoms for me every month.

Anyone else experience this?

I am so sorry for your BFN. I had the same experience during my 2ww too, I think maybe it's caused by the clomid or HCG.
good luck to you.

That is sooo wild! I am taking injectibles and going to do an IUI as soon as my follies develop. I will also have to do a "HCG" shot. It is good to know there may be "phantom" pregnancy symptoms. How strange and disappointing- I am so sorry. Keep your chin up!!!

********* ~ don't think you are the only one that has every "convinced" themselves that they were pg b/c they were having every symptom in the book!

I think we have all done it once or twice. Also, if you are on a progesterone supplement that will give you every pg sign possible only to lead you to the dreaded AF.

Hope you feel better and sorry she came!

Thanks for the supportive words everyone - I truly love this board. Even when I'm not posting all the time, I'm here lurking and reading constantly!

My period is also very strange - runnier (more mucousy - yes, that is now a word

!!) than usual, and it was so painful to use a tampon I have to use pads until I go for my baseline u/s tomorrow to start the clomid/IUI cycle all over again.

That sound familiar to anyone? The pain? The different type of period?

This is all so new to me - but I'm happy to be part of this group, albeit for this reason, you all rock!
