Light cramps

[Nat6]

Hi ladies I'm 4dp 3dt and have noticed a light ache in my womb. It feels a bit like mild period pain. This is my second fresh ivf cycle & I previously had 3 chemical pregnancies so this time I'm also on loads of medication from a miscarriage clinic. Currently taking steroids & fragmin injections as well as the ivf pessaries & my vitamins. Today is the first day where I've felt quite anxious about the outcome. Yesterday we also found out that the other 2 embryos didn't make it so I'm feeling the realisation that if this one doesn't work that will be it for us. An emotional day x

Hi Nat6. Hopefully this is just down to your womb settling down again after all the procedures and pulling about you have been through. So sorry to hear about the 2 embryos, so keeping everything crossed especially hard for this little one. Thinking of you. Diane

Thanks Diane really appreciate your reply. I'm so insanely bloated as well, none of my trousers fit. Would that be down to the pessaries?

Hi Nat6. Yes it could be, but also maybe your ovaries still being a bit active. Make sure you drink plenty of water and rest when you can. Have a walk around too, to try and shift some of the wind. Hope you soon deflate! Diane
