3dp6dt

[Sam101]

Hi all, im just wondering if im worrying about nothing. Im 3dp6dt and im getting af cramping off and on but nothing else symptoms wise. Am i expecting too much so early on? I hope so as i can relax then. Just really want this one to be our little miracle! X

Sounds like it could be implantation cramps so could be a good sign!

[Sam101 in reply to katya38]

Thats what im hoping to be honest. Imvery much aware af is due next weekend and i usually start getting my period pains a week before so just made me abit on edge x

[katya38 in reply to Sam101]

I know it's awful but try to relax. I read so much during our 2 week wait that in the end I wasn't sure what to believe!

[Sam101 in reply to katya38]

I know what you mean. I said to my hubbie about it and he said its far too early yet to have any proper symptoms so stop worrying.

I read somewhere that you implant between 3 to 5 days after transfer and then somewhere else it's 24 hours. I thought I'd be more relaxed in the 2 week wait. But every twinge was stressful and about 5 days before test date started bleeding and spotting so was terrified every time I went to the toilet. Wish I'd tried to relax more!!

I had period type cramping and spotting from 7-9 days post transfer and thought it was all over. Turned out it was an implantation bleed cos I'm now nearly 6 weeks pregnant. x

[katya38 in reply to Mantaray75]

Can I ask you was your spotting little spots of blood or just light bleeding?

[Mantaray75 in reply to katya38]

It was brown in colour and fairly light, not as much as a period. I had one streak of faint pink which really freaked me out but that was it. The cramping definitely felt like I was getting a period. I'm still having odd funny feelings in my tummy but not cramping, I guess it means things are stretching.

[katya38 in reply to Mantaray75]

Yes. I had quite a lot of brown spotting and light pink then sadly got my period. I literally screamed seeing the blood. So disappointing. But i have noticed before when we've had sex every 2 days my period is totally different. A few times ive had lots of brown spotting my period came late so wondered of we've been close a few times before.

[Mantaray75 in reply to katya38]

I thought exactly the same thing. During this IVF I was taking a low dose of steroid as my progesterone was too high. I wonder if my NK cells have been high in the past preventing implantation and these steroids helped. There is nowhere to get immunological testing where I live so I wouldn't know.

I was convinced AF was arriving... Sore boobs, mild cramps and some microscopic spotting. I just felt pre menstrual! Then got the shock of my life with first BFP! I'm now 6 weeks 5 days. The trouble with symptom spotting is the symptoms are pretty similar between being pregnant and getting AF! Easier said but try not to over analyse. It doesn't change the outcome! Best of luck 🍀

Thank you. Thanks for all your responses ladies. Im just going to chill and relax. Im gonna try and not fixate on it so its not an issue. Everyoneis different so i just need to see what happens and keep everything crossed xx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Sam101]

Try not to stress I know it's harder than just saying it x hopefully it's implantation cramps xx

[Sam101 in reply to Dreams1982]

Hopefully it is. Im trying to keep myself occupied. Thankfully this time we have a little fur baby to keep me occupied so hopefully he will help keep me calm and focused xx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Sam101]

Got everything crossed for you hun xx we are 4wk 4 days and the worrying doesn't stop lol

Try go for a walk or to cinema to help pass time xx eat some nice food xx be good to yourself whilst your waiting

[Sam101 in reply to Dreams1982]

Thank you. Congratulations on your fab news. Hopefully you will get your first scan soon which will help reassure you. We went to the cinema yest which was nice. Going for a nice walk with the dog after. Spend some time with my hubbie before he is back in work tomorrow as will barely see him next week. Xx

Hi Sam - I had AF type cramping throughout my 2ww before my BFP... fingers crossed this is a good sign. I don't really think that 2ww and relaxing go together but try to get as much rest and distract yourself with other things as much as possible. Good luck with the rest of your wait, your OTD will be here before you know it! x x x

[Sam101 in reply to MommaBear16]

Thank you mommabear16. Congrats on you bfp. I really hope its a good sign we have waited so long and worked so hard for our little miracle. Hopefully having my little fur baby will help distract me this time. We have a 9 month old crossbreed now so hopefully he will help me get through the 2ww. Im dreading the test day to be honest, would rather live in denial and just think of myself as pregnant as i am now xx
