Is slight cramping normal after ET?

Hello, I had ET yesterday and today shooting slight cramps , the same as aches as when I am due on? I'm worrying a bit but surly AF can't happen yet? Am I getting enough of the progesterone pessary, or could it be the pessary causing this pain?

I'd say any type of cramping/discomfort during IVF after the EC/ET stages are entirely normal. Your body's been thru a lot so things will be settling in there, and also could be embryo getting comfy! So I'd say don't worry about any of these sensations- they could be a good sign, but even if not they are not necessarily a sign of your period either . Good luck x

Hey WeeMrsH,

Thanks for your reply, I was unnecessarily panicking. I will try to be positive xx

Very normal to worry though, only natural! Staying positive is all we can do :) x
