2ww - early cramping and egg white discharge

[SaintsGirl]

Hi, I had my FET on Monday 27th Nov it was a 5 day hatching blastocyst. On Tuesday and Wednesday I had cramping but not much since except some egg white discharge yesterday and some very mild cramps and backache . I’m finding it hard to stay positive. I just need some moral support. Thanks x

Hi SaintsGirl. The cramping might be down to the procedure, as there is still a bit of pushing and prodding even with a FET. Hopefully will soon settle down. The egg white discharge could be the effect of oestrogen on your cervix, which shouldn't be anything to worry about. keeping my fingers crossed for you. Diane

Keep going SaintsGirl. I’m sure it’s nothing serious, just settling down as Diane said. I had transfer the same day so know how you feel! I’ve had no symptoms at all which is equally a worry! Hang on in there. X

Hi! I just wanted to say that I had some cramping after embryo transfer (I think it was just a bit of pain and bruising from the egg collection). Also, white discharge is quite normal and often continues into pregnancy so I don't think you should worry about either of these things! Easier said than done though.... Good luck x

Hi I had my 2nd FET and I have hardly had any symptoms which makes me very uneasy. Cramping is quite normal I've been told and so is the discharge. It's due to the oestrogen you are taking . Try not to worry, so your body isn't under any stress. I know it's. Or that simple, but try and keep busy. I feel like whatever is going to happen, will happen, so try and relax. Big hugs x

Hi I had my transfer on Monday too... didn’t quite get to blastocyst, transferred at morula stage!😥 I’ve had cramping too, especially in the mornings. Trying not to worry and take it day by day xx wishing you lots of luck xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

Same to you x it’s so hard the 2ww.

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

It really is.... finding it harder this time as I now know what can happen, also don’t feel like we have the best chance due to not making blastocyst xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

Stay positive you hear of so many none blastocysts being successful xx chin up x and fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

How are you doing? These 2 weeks are really dragging xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

Well, I just tested with a clear blue digital and it says Not pregnant, I’m 6dp5dt do not holding out any hope for test day x how are u getting on ?

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

Oh Hun.... could it be that it’s too early to test? I’ve just had a lot of cramping and niggles. Think my bloating my have gone down I don’t know if that’s a positive or negative xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

I’m hoping it’s too early but you know when you have that feeling it’s just not worked . I have been having cramps since tfr but last day or so only little niggles. So I’m getting myself prepared mentally for a bfn on test day😢

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

What would you say to me.... stay positive!!! Lots of rest, water and healthy eating!! Sending you lots of positive vibes xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

Thanks, it’s not as if I’m a 1st timer at this I just go crazy . Let me know how I get on x.

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

I think this bit is the worst part!!! Give me an injection any day if the week! Xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

😂😂 the thing is I’m still on injections and if successful for 3months 😢

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

are you on progesterone injections instead of pessaries? x

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

No, I’m on clexane injections (thinks it’s a blood thinner) and I’m on progynova, aspirin, prednisone (a steroid of some sort) and I’m on utrogestron pessaries as well. 😳

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

Bless you. This part is so mentally challenging isn't it xx

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

So hard xx how are u getting on ?

[cls37 in reply to SaintsGirl]

I’m not feeling very positive at the moment. Feel like any symptoms have stopped and I’m ‘back the normal’ whatever that is.x

[SaintsGirl in reply to cls37]

It’s not over till it’s over . Keep the faith!! I know it’s really hard it’s just a emotional rollercoaster. Xx

[kglass in reply to cls37]

Mine was a 4 day embryo as well and only the one. Didn't get to 5 day stage but I thought rather better inside than out and went for 4 day and BFP. Hope it's your turn next.

[cls37 in reply to kglass]

Thank you x

[kglass in reply to cls37]

Hello. Cramping is good. Could mean the embryo is attaching. I had cramping for 3 days and now period like cramps daily and got my BFP on Friday. Good luck and seems like a good sign.

[cls37 in reply to kglass]

I’m not feeling very hopeful anymore...cramping seems to have stopped, boobs no longer sore 😥x

[SaintsGirl in reply to kglass]

Fabulous news xx made up for you. It’s otd tomorrow or me but I’ve done a sneaky poas and got a BFP. Fingered crossed for ya both x

I think the best chance you can give your embie to implant is by not overthinking about the odds right away. It affects overall hormonal balance that might counter the implantation. Implantation is usually crampy - some women might not feel it but most do. Also, 30% women get the spotting too. So unless it turns to severe cramps or bleeding you can count on a BFP totally. I did conceive once (for a few weeks) had both cramps and spotting which was confirmed as BFP by beta (did HPT as well and they turned blazing red BFP). Don't worry everything will be just fine - make sure you relax and stay happy over the whole 2ww span. Sending baby dust your way!

[SaintsGirl in reply to AmbK]

Thank you , that’s reassuring xx went to the cinema today to watch Paddington Bear to take my mind off it x

[SaintsGirl]

Just to let you know I got a BFP xx
