    Nope. There cannot be any preggo symptoms at 1-4 DPO as the implantation doesn't even happen until later (6-9 days? I think).

    What you are experiencing are the symptoms of increased progesterone that starts raising right after you ovulate.

    I can feel sore boobs as early as 1 DPO.

    Also, you may notice different symptoms every months. I swear my body was out to trick me and make me even more crazy.

    I am in year four of TTC (logged 40 cycles already) and unfortunately know way too much about TTC than I had originally anticipated :(

    Best of luck to you!

    I am TTC right now. My husband and I will be meeting with the doctor in July if we are still TTC then.

    I don't know of but one other time that i've ovulated since we've been trying and that's when i got preg then m/c and then i had no symptoms just got really bad cramps one night and went to the dr the next day and she said i was preg but was m/c :cry: and from that point on i was on things to help get my cycle regulated and then clomid and everytime they did the progesterone test my levels were really low indicating i didn't ovulate. But i went to a specialist last monday and she did a vaginal ultrasound and some blood work and when they called me this past thursday she said according to my bloodwork i could ovulate at any time so we've been trying everyday since then except for one day and yesterday and today my back has been killing me and i've been having feelings of fullness almost like i gotta pee when i really don't but i think i just got all these things on the brain and that's all that it is!!

    If you don't track ovulation, you may want to start. Easiest would be OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) that tell you that you are about to O (they don't confirm it, though). In addition to that, I would suggest to track your temperature (fertiltiyfriend.com is a free online tracking site) as that is the only way to pin point your ovulation. With that combo you can tell when to BD (DTD) and when to start counting the days after ovulation.

    Like I said, once I started paying attention to my body, it was crazy how many "symptoms" I noticed. Most of the symptoms in early pregnancy are due to the higher levels of progesterone, so any time during the 2 week wait, you could possibly feel similar things.

    Are you seeing an RE or just a regular OBGYN?

    I'm seeing a Fertility Specialist which is probably RE (just wasn't sure what RE stood for) Just started going and i asked her bout charting or the opk's but she told me i could but there was really no need because they were going to tell me when i was going to ovulate and when to BD so she said it would kinda be a waste of money for me....we thought i wasn't ovulating on my own but when she did all the blood work she said i was getting ready to on my own!! So I wouldn't have to start drugs right now so i'm pretty much in the 2ww now!

    Sorry, after spending too much time on TTC sites, I've got all that weird lingo down - lol

    Are they going to check your progesterone lever at 7 DPO to make sure you did ovulate and whether it is high enough?

    They are correct in terms that you won't need to spend money on testing yourself if they are checking up on you.

    Well i've only been one time and when i went we thought i wasn't ovulating til they got the results of the bloodwork in...so we had planned on starting me on something called Femera and then do an ultrasound and if my follicles were big enough i would do an injection that made me ovulate. But when they called(which was Thursday) she told me to just try through the rest of the week and wait 2.5 to 3 weeks and call them and let them know what was going on then they would do more bloodwork so we can get more of a plan. I think this was a shock to everyone that i was gonna ovulate on my own since i was on like day 40 of my cycle!! So right now i'm kinda just at a stand still and i think if we have to try again next month things will be more planned out since we know what's going on now. When i was there she did a vaginal ultrasound and said everything looked great i had one pretty big follicale and my lining in my uterus was really thick!

    Good. I hope you did ovulate :)

    I've heard of lots of people using Femera successfully. I've used Clomid for three cycles but my docs didn't do any ultrasound along the way, so I never know what it really did. I ovulate on my own but cannot get pregnant, though everything got checked out just fine.

    Has your husband been checked yet? They usually do that first, right?

    He is going to do a semen analysis but my obgyn hadn't done one because we had got preg once before but but the RE wants him to do one just to make sure nothing's changed. And thanks i hope i ovulated too and i hope i get preg cause the first visit and ultrasound was $400 and i haven't got the bill for the bloodwork so i'm hoping i don't have to go back much!!

    I still have my IUD til my next menstrual then it is coming out. I am taking prenatal vitamins right now cause my gynecologist said I should've been taking them a while ago. We want to conceive in August to have a May baby (Hubby's birthday is in May).

    I started taking my prenatal vitamins 3 months before we started trying because they said that would give them plenty of time to get in your system!!! And I hope it doesn't take you long to get preg....cause going for a long time is rough on you!!! But we'll all get through it and will this be your first?
