Hi Amna I had my transfer on the 3rd 😊 I could have wrote this exact post! Yesterday (5dp5dt) I had aunty flow like cramps for about 6 hours. Then my lower back started hurting for about 2 of those hours. But have not had any today and it seems to be gone? I hope you are coping ok during this torturous wait it just drags on doesn't it. I'm pretty proud I've resisted to POAS so far, I'm too terrified this time. This is my 2nd round of ivf 2. Let's hope these cramps are a good sign! 🤞🤞 xxx

For me the cramps & back pain were a good sign but I didn't think that til I saw a BFP on OTD! I felt exactly the same as I do before my period arrives so was sure it was gonna be negative. Wishing you lots of luck. X

I believe those are more a good sign than bad. I had loads of AF crampings with my son. thought the game was over, but NOT - that time my bean was steadily implanting inside Also I did have some pinkish spotting, later turning into a brown spot, then nothing. We had 5day transfer then. So hope this is a good sign for you too. Have every bone in my body crossed for you Xx
