Pregnancy Symptoms

It has been 4 days since I found out I'm pregnant by using home pregnancy tests and confirmed it by a blood test. Here is a list of my symptoms or how I generally felt during my two week wait after the IUI until now:

1. Tingling sensation in my right nipple - It was barely a week after the IUI but I felt it while I was on my way home from work. I didn't think it was pregnancy-related and that maybe I'm just eagerly looking for symptoms.

2. White discharge - I usually have this before my period but not this much. I attributed it to Crinone, the vaginal gel that I have been prescribed to take for 15 days starting 2 dpiui.

3. Mild cramping - I was so sure my period was coming because of the mild/light cramps I started to feel towards the end of my two week wait. I still feel it occasionally even after confirming the pregnancy.

4. Sore/tender boobs/nipples - Similar to how it feels before/during my period but a bit heightened this time. The other day, my right nipple hurt a ton, like it was being mildly electrocuted.

5. Sleeping a lot - I am a late sleeper and can live with only 4-5 hours of sleep. But since my IUI, I have been wanting to sleep early. I also sleep in the afternoon when I'm not at work for 2-3 hours so I can't really call it a nap.

6. Peeing a lot - I pee around 6-7 times even before lunch time.

7. Cheery/generally happy - I guess it's all because of being able to finally get pregnant. My husband and I waited for this and I would like to be positive about everything.

I will add to this list as I go along, but I guess this is all for now at 5 weeks 1 day. :)
