Cramping

Morning ladies!! 

Feeling weird today.  I had my transfer last Saturday so I'm 5(or 4)dp5dt, I don't know if you count day of as the first day?!

Anyhow, I'm have AF-like cramping that is freaking me the :censor: out!  Trying to ride it out and hoping that it's nothing, IF like to eff with my mind and I'm very intune to everything happening right now!  Has anyone experienced this?

I hate you 2WW!!! Angry

ME!!! I have had AF-type cramping on and off since transfer day. Today I am 11dp3dt and having some cramping now. I agree, it is freaking me out too! Obsessing on the internet has informed me that cramping can happen with both BFNs and BFPs. I have not POAS so hoping I make it to beta Fri without AF showing her ugly face. FX this is a good sign for us both!

Ugh.  Can't our bodies just cooperate for once in our lives.  We don't need this on top of everything else.

GOOD LUCK on Friday!!  I'm going to be stalking you for updates now.Big Smile

Hi Ladies!

 *****Ticker Warning*****

 

 

 

 

 

I was in the same boat last week. At first I had no cramping after ET and I was upset that it meant it didn't work (I had read online that cramping is a good sign). Well then starting at 3dp5dt, I started cramping. I got excited, but then the cramping continued and got worse - more like menstrual cramping. So then I was upset again because I was 99% sure that my period was about to start and didn't have high hopes for my beta. I ended up getting my BFP at 8dp5dt and was in total shock (didn't POAS). My cramps continued until this past Monday. I still get some off and on, but not too bad. I've heard that cramping can be a normal part of pregnancy for some folks.

I'm hoping these cramps are a good sign for you ladies. Good luck and hang in there!

My PIO shots have been killer the last few days so maybe I will blame them. They're leaving welps on me.  This morning I sneezed when my DH gave me my shot.  That was lovely. Stick out tongue

I did email my IVF nurse asking her if I should be concerned and she said it was "completely normal".  So I'm going to believe her....for now.

Jealous of your beta on Monday--- mines on Wednesday.  I was going to test prior but the hubs was not on board with tha,t so I'll wait it out.
