Cramps

Hi, struggling through my first 2WW! I have a lot of cramps, they vary in strength. I have googled like mad about them. Guess I’m wanting them to be implantation pain. Some sites say you can get pain, others say the embryos are too small you wouldn’t feel anything. I’ve googled 2 week pregnancy symptoms as well. They are similar to the side effects from the progesterone 😩 anyone had symptoms during 2WW? Argh...Thanks x

aw hun its horrible isn't it, like the worst mind game of all time. I just think of it this way - if I was experiencing these symptoms outside of IVF, would I be worried? probably not. you just over analyse everything in your 2ww because its the only thing you can do before your test day. All the luck in the world to you xxxxx

Hey, that’s a sensible way to think. Just wish I knew what was happening. I am over analysing for sure! Thanks xx

Hi hun

I'm the same this afternoon and as you know I'm a day ahead of you. I keep getting sharp cramp like pains. They pass as quick as they come but im so nervous this is mother nature getting ready to shoe her ugly face.

Sending love and hugs

Xx

Hey Hun, mine are there most the time but severity changes 🤔 don’t like the unknown!! And want it to be a positive sign!

Hope Mother Nature stays away! 🤞🏻

Sending good luck hugs your way

Blinkin google. I spend my life there! I was looking for signs... but as soon as I read the side effects of the drugs which are pretty similar I realised I just needed to take each day as it came. Just go with it. And try and plan. I had a timetable of activities for the time: watch films, see friends, bake cakes x

Thanks Emu2016. I’m at work this week but it’s not taking my mind of things. I wish I had been off and doing fun things. X

Do nice things at the weekend too! x

I can vouch for the fact that progesterone gives pregnancy symptoms. After a year or so of being on this site, I can say that there’s no certainty till the test and google is not your friend, step away from the google!!! Try to keep as busy as you can xx

I'm 5 days into the 2ww. Mild cramping but hardly anything compared to my first round. Could be the progesterone. Just keep busy and keep off google! Xxx
