Worried about bad cramps.

[KirstyC90]

Morning,

My transfer was last Tuesday and we had 2 embryos transferred. I’ve had slight cramping but nothing worth stopping for, but this morning they are quite bad almost like pre- period cramps. I was only getting a banana from the kitchen! I had to stop and sit down and now they’ve pretty much gone but it’s worried me a bit. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks x

I have no advice but I do have reassurance! I had a fair amount of cramping in my 2ww second cycle and had a BFP. Symptoms don’t mean much tho - aware that some people cramp & some don’t and both can get a BFP so try not to let it worry you. I had one day were the cramping was at period level (in hindsight think it was cramping following implantation). Good luck in your cycle and hoping you get your BFP xx

Thanks so much for your reply. It hasn’t been that bad up until this morning but it has gone back down now! It’s my second cycle, frozen one this time! Thank you xx

Hi Kirsty.. They've stopped, so hold on to that thought. Might be from procedure during transfer. Just have a rest when you can and drink some extra water, in case your ovaries are a little active still. Good luck!. Diane

Thanks Diane, I had frozen transfer this time so my ovaries should be okay but they have pretty much stopped now x

Hi.OK. So probably was your womb settling down after being pulled about during transfer. Diane

Thank you for reassuring me, I’m finding it very hard not to test! My schedule said test tomorrow but then the nurse said Friday! I sooo want to xx

Hi. NO - wait and do the first wee in the morning, whichever day you choose. Good luck! Diane

I will wait, I’ll try and hold out until Friday xx
