Diminished pregnancy symptoms but darker HPT?

Question

I just did IVF. I got a BFP 6dp 3dt (=9po). I'm currently 9dp 3dt (=12dpo). Since my first I've been taking them every day and the line gets a little darker each time. So I am pregnant. Yesterday I felt extremely symptomatic...huge aching b***s, queasy and dizzy, heavy bloated pelvis, and water retention. I drank massive water yesterday to try and bring the puffiness down. Anyway, today my symptoms have diminished quite a bit. In something of a panic I took another HPT and got my darkest BFP to date. It's REALLY dark...just a hair lighter than the control line. It looks like my HCG is still going up. Why the loss of symptoms? Should I worry?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry at all!  I have not done IVF, so I could be wrong, but I would think it rare to experience these symptoms so early (12 dpo).  So, if you don't feel them today, I would think nothing of it.  :)

Good luck to you!  I wish you a happy, healthy, successful pregnancy!

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry.  Pregnancy symptoms sort of come in waves.  If you're eating consistently and drinking plenty of water you might be able to stave off of a lot of the typical symptoms.

Women will often get sick or nauseous when their blood sugar is not stable.  If you're eating stable food, especially this early in your pregnancy, you will probably have very few symptoms.
