Cramps 7dp5dt

Hi guys,

Can I ask if any of you had cramps in your lower abdomen like your AF was coming and it resulted in BFP? I have cramps and pinching in one spot of my tummy. I’m probably just looking for signs. I know progesterone can give you a lot of symptoms but I don’t think I experienced this in any of my other transfers. Any feedback welcomed 😊 xx

Hi Jrss1 Each cycle of treatment can be entirely different and so also can the symptoms be that you mention . Sometimes no symptoms at all .Look after yourself - take any meds you have been given as directed Good luck with test dateJanet

Are you having cramps too? When is your test day? Mine is on Friday 🥺

We think it should be Friday but they’ve said Sunday so we’re gna do one of those days. Yeh, I’ve had aches and slight cramps every now and then throughout really but last few days I’ve just felt periody which doesn’t make you feel positive does it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all got BFP’s on Friday! It’s such a tough time. You would think there would be an easier way than waiting 2 weeks??

Suppose we just have to let the body do what it wants first 😩😩😩

I wish my body would just give me a break and let it happen 😩

I am also 8dp5dt and have had cramps since 4dp transfer. I have also had brown spotting pretty much every day and some pink blood when I wiped yesterday (sorry TMI!). Panicking as it really feels like AF but cramps and spotting minimal today. Also don’t know until test on Friday!

So we are all testing on Friday 😬 - I think spotting is good because that indicates implantation. I haven’t had that. Just feel really tired, cramps since yesterday. One boob is sorer than the other and one area in my tummy keeps pinching. All most likely the progesterone but I’m really hoping it’s not. We’ve been trying for so long now. I think the progesterone stops your period from coming though, so your spotting is good 😌

It messes with your head because it feels like period cramps. Very mild for me though as I have endometriosis so my period cramps are usually horrific. Hope it is implantation but it’s been like that the whole time so maybe just from Cyclogest pessaries. Fingers crossed for everyone testing this week, hope you get your miracles!! Xx

I had endometriosis too. My doctor said she can’t see anything on the scans when she did them so I’m wondering if it’s gone. I always got very bad period pains since I was a child so I’m used to them tbh. Im wishing you loads of luck! Hoping Friday is lucky for all of us. Keep in touch xx

When I had my latest laparoscopy they didn’t find any to laser off so it looked like it had stayed away from the previous laparoscopy so hopefully yours has too!

Good luck everyone!!!

Thank you so much. I’m not feeling very positive tbh. Can I ask you, when did your cramping start? I had bad cramps on day 7 and gone yesterday and back again today. I’m thinking it’s most likely my AF because I’m now day 38 with no period as it has been delayed with all the drugs.

I had cramping most of the time and a kinda pulling on my right hand side. I constantly dreaded going to the toilet (still like that to be honest 😔). I think we are on so much medication aswell that the cramping can be one of many things. I have my fingers crossed for you today ☄ xx

I had period-like cramps from 5-7 days past 5 day transfer and got my BFP, now 16 weeks! The progesterone can cause so many symptoms its so hard! Good Luck! Xx

Jrss1 in reply to F_J_762301

Thank you ☺️ Day 5 seems like implantation was happening for you? Maybe day 7 for me is a bit too late? Oh I really hope I have a good story to tell you tomorrow. xxx

I always read implantation happened between 2 and 5 days past transfer, so I also thought it was late, must have been my little embryo snuggling in! I will have everything crossed for you 🤞🤞 xx
