BFP but no pregnancy symptoms

June 25, 2008

I got a positive result from an IVF cycle one week ago. So, I am now 4 weeks pregnant. My beta level is 425 and my progesterone level is 127. However, I do not feel pregnant at all and I really don't have any symptoms. Besides being super bloated (and already looking about 5 months pregnant-seriously)I don't have any of the typcial symptoms. My breasts are not sore, I am not overly tired etc...etc...Is this cause for concern? Please advise! My first pregnancy was a bit different and so I am not sure if I am just comparing the two.

1st off CONGRATS!!!!!!! YAY!!!!

All pregnancies will be different then others. There are many women who are just really lucky in not having any symptoms during pregnancy. Although u r still very early and could start seeing symptoms at 8-10 wks. I hope this helped, but I am sure many other ladies on here will advise you as well. Hope you have an amazing 9 months, and sending u tons of STICKY GLUE!!!!

Thanks for your advice! I know I should just relax a bit. When I was pregnant 2 years ago I felt different so it's hard to know what to think when round # 2 is different! My beta level is great so hopefully that's a good sign!

Kristin, I had no symptoms either in the TWW or after a BFP. I started having some symptoms only after week 6. So, with ur betas rising, I think u can relax.

Kristin,

Feel "lucky" that you're making it through without symptoms and this is completely normal as your hCGs are rising normally, and like HopeN says, "u can relax" :D

i would say that your body is pretty confused since you have gone thru IVF plus your tollerance for uncomfy-ness has gone up since starting all of the fertility stuff i assume. I thought the same way - i felt just not hungry and sleepy but i felt that b4 i got my BFP and it was from the meds i was taking to get to the IVF and then after the transfer so i wouldnt worry. You have a great number and as long as it is going up 66% every 2 days you and your bean are gonna be great!

Congrats!!!! I am one of those women who really has no pregnancy symptoms at all either. So please don't worry. You just have to hope and pray that all is well. Once we saw the heart beat it helped and then every time we heard it it helped a little more. But until I could feel him moving I wasn't comepletely satisfied! Hugs to you and many tons of sticky glue!!!

Thanks, Fran! My first pregnancy with my son was different. I just "felt" preggo then but now it's a bit different. I am so hung up on these beta numbers!! Also I am still taking my temperature and it is not as high as it was 2 years ago when I was also preggers. Last time my temp was the clue that led me to believe that we had lost one twin. My temps are just not as high so I am a little worried!
