9dp5dt, BFP. Is severe cramping normal?

[Kira2016]

I am 9dp5dt and have been getting a positive at home pregnancy test since 5dp5dt.

I am very happy but now I am beginning to worry that I am having to much cramping.

I woke up last night at 3 am dying of pain and within a minute I was soaking wet, dripping sweat and sure that I was miscarrying but 10 minutes I was fine but shivering cold.

I talked to my doctor and she said that the progesterone that I am on could be the reason for the severe cramping so she changed it to Crinone 8%.

I am still getting cramping "episodes" that last for about 5-10 minutes and just had one now.

So my question to you guys, is anyone experiencing this, should I prepare for this embryo not to stick due to this or is this normal 4w pregnancy symptoms?

Cramping is normal in early pregnancy, even when you get pregnant naturally. Your uterus is changing and making space for your embryo. Congratulations on your BFP, I see the line is progressing which is great! Try to enjoy this magical moment.

Thank you for the feedback and all the best on your TTC journey 🤍

Hey! Congratulations on your bfp, really great news!!! Yep, very normal at this stage. Uterus is growing, stretching, making room for a baby and it's not a pain free process try not to worry. Every twinge is so unsettling but it is all normal. I had the same with mine and it felt just like the cramps I normally have at the beginning of a period. I was terrified! But all fine and I worried unnecessarily

Wishing you all the luck in the world xx

I went to the emergency room because I had another bad episode, turns out that I am still very stimulated and my ovaries are a little big. The doctor saw fluid around them so that could indicate that a cyst had burst which would explain the pain.

But it was good to have the hospital confirm (with a stick) that I am pregnant and things are progressing 😭♥️

I am an endometriosis case so I should probably just prepare for difficulties, but my I am positive and thankful for this week of positive pregnancy tests.

I had severe pain like this and threw up 7 times in space of 6 hours 3 days after transfer. I ended up in hospital on morphine over night. They thought a follicle had burst.

My home pregnancy test was negative on test day but HCG was over 100. It carried on doubling after 2 days.

I am now feeding the gorgeous result of that pregnancy. I think he's a little fighter.

Hope your little one holds on in there too!

This pain is so bad, had two episodes last night again, called the ER but decided to stay home since the pain is only the worst for about 10-15 minutes.

Congratulations on your perfect baby😻♥️! Hope these cysts are just bursting to get out of the way for my growing little one.

Hi sweets. Not experienced this but cant imagine your stress and worry. Thank God your pregnancy is fine. Just do what you can control which is eating good, taking medication and keeping hydrated. I have endometrioma on tight ovary which is 5cm. They told me I'd be in enormous pain if it burst.

[Kira2016 in reply to Rainbowhope]

Thank you for the reminder, I’ll stay hydrated, eat well and sleep.

I have been warned about the cyst (6cm) turning my ovaries and the pain that could follow so I am very worried. But keeping calm 🙏🏻

[Rainbowhope in reply to Kira2016]

I know it's much easier to say than do. I'm n my way to my 2nd hcg blood test and I have a feeling my numbers haven't risen. My breast tenderness seems to have subsided. Just got to keep calm and carry on....❤❤❤

Great news on your BFP how exciting xxxx I woke up in cold sweats in the early hours of this morning. I’m currently 5dp5dt and I never had any of these symptoms last time round! Trying to keep positive. Had the cramps but feeling cold/flu like too! ❤️So happy for you you deserve this

[Kira2016 in reply to Hidden]

Good luck in your wait ♥️

I had the something similar on my last transfer. I ended up with OHSS after our transfer and once I got a BFP. Then ended up in the hospital for 4. Days for intermittent ovarian torsion. Worst pain I’ve ever felt! I guess sometimes the ovaries can keep responding to the hormones after your preganant and keep getting bigger...when you move and as the uterus gets bigger it can push on them and they’ll twist, cutting off blood supply. It did get better, make sure to advocate for your self, if you feel like something isn’t right.!

[Kira2016 in reply to Shellyeah_p]

That sounds aweful!

I hope the pain stops now, and I sure have to remember to advocare for myself... I always end up trying to minimize whatever is going on while at the doctors, so weird 🤷🏼‍♀️
