Cramping / AF feeling

Hi all

Can someone tell me what you mean by cramping? I have had mild period type pains days 3,4&5 after transfer (only mild) then nothing until today ...I’m day 9 post FET and feel again slightly due on having mild AF pains like an achy feeling, so just wondering if you mean period type aches when you say cramping?

I know it sounds like a silly question but my mind is working overtime as the only symptoms I have is feeling due on 🥴 my natural period was due yesterday, I have done a Natural FET cycle however I am on progesterone pessaries.

I do wonder if the pessaries are delaying my period if it’s not worked but my last failed cycle I also took the progesterone and I came in my 2ww so it didn’t delay me last time.

I had brown spotting few hours after my transfer which I believe is normal but haven’t had any since.

Wishing us all lots of luck 🤞🤞this 2ww is mind boggling 🥴🥴🤞🤞

Yep cramping after transfer feels like af cramps. Sometimes I feel really strong ones other times it's really faint so it's hard to know. All things are early on and were implantation cramps.

Progesterone should delay af. It's just a waiting game unfortunately xx

Totally normal. We're all guilty of it. Unfortunately symptom spotting won't give much away as some have plenty of symptoms and bfn and some have none and get bfp...tricky! Hang in there keep busy xx

Mild cramping and spotting are part of pregnancy. Big changes are going on in your uterus/endometrium and so you could say they are like growing pains. ( : and occasionally there are little tears that bleed - all part of a healthy pregnancy. Progesterone will keep your AF at bay, but hopefully you will get a positive. Fingers crossed! 🤞❤️
