Strange symptom

[Dinobaby05]

Hi everyone, I’m 11dp5dt and we got our first BFP on Thursday and there was another today. The lines aren’t very strong but a digital test confirmed it so I’m hoping this is finally it for us. However, I’m very anxious it will all go wrong and I’m worried about a recent symptom I’ve been having. Has anyone ever experienced night sweats at this stage? For the last week, I’ve woken up drenched in a cold sweat and this has never happened to me before. Is it a side effect of the medication or my anxiety? I’m also worrying that being overheated will affect the embryo.

No advice, but just wanted to say congrats! I’m over the moon for you. Xxx

congrats! And yes progesterone can cause night sweats- I had them too!

[Lolalules]

yup that’s progesterone - worse once pregnant as you’ll be producing your own and have the meds!

Congrats, night sweats are a pregnancy symptom of increasing progesterone (obvs in IVF we are on that too so can be in 2WW too) it can get a bit worse as it progresses but defo nothing g to worry about 🤗💜 xx

Hi DinoBaby. I think you will find it’s due to side effects of medication. Good luck. Diane
