First IVF cycle and 5dp 5dt cramps

[GB32]

Hey guys,

Anyone shed any light on how you’re ‘supposed’ to be feeling on day 5 after 5 day transfer? I know everyone is different but I’m just so worried that I’m coming on period due to cramping. I have such a weird swishing feeling in my stomach and also cramping too. Is it too late for implantation? How else did everyone feel?

Thanks 😊

For me cramping 5dp5dt proved not to be anything helpful but from reading others' experiences it can really go either way, so you're not out of the game yet It's so hard not to symptom spot. xx

Thank you for your reply. Oh sorry it wasn’t a positive for you. What was your cramping like? It’s so hard as working from home all day, I’ve got plenty of time to think and worry 😩🤣 xx

Definitely milder than period cramping but then I get pretty full-on period cramps. Kind of coming and going, a little stronger on 6dp5dt. It may have been the progesterone but I also started bleeding on 7dp5dt so it may have just been my dicky uterus objecting. Hoping for the best for you xx

I had quite bad cramps from day 2 which got very intense around days 6 and 7 post transfer. I still have cramps daily and swear it’s the end of the road and my period is coming. (I’m nearly 6 weeks now) Try not to worry about the cramping as it could definitely mean implantation. Best of luck to you!!

Hey. Thank you for your reply. I’m exactly the same. This is fantastic news for you and I wish you all the best for a happy healthy baby.

Everyone is so different aren’t they and all I’ve been doing is analysing all these things 🙄

Needed to read this as cramping quite a bit .. which makes me think probably not .. they are testing today 10 days past FET
