Is there anyone who felt like this?

Hey lovelies! So I’m 2-3 days into a 5day frozen embryo transfer, I had a 5BB FET.

I’ve been having since yesterday strong cramping which is also followed by passing a lot of gas (sorry TMI I know but we’re all adults here 😩)

Has anyone else had these cramps and then gone on to have a BFP? I don’t have any of the other symptoms like sore boobs, swollen nipples, etc.

I’m constipated, having period like cramps and bloating and a lot of gas. I’m just super tired and also feel a little painful in my joints and muscles and stuff.

I guess what I’m trying to ask is, has anyone else had these symptoms like me and what did it result in, a BFN or BFP? I know I shouldn’t even be asking things like this because I need to relax but come on girls, let’s be honest, we all spend the TWW googling every tiny symptom.

Any little bit of experience or info is welcome and appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

Omg amazing! When did you cave in and start testing? Thinking to buy some tests over the weekend. I know I know it’s the worst thing to do but i’m too curious for my own good!

I started on day 6. I was convinced I was out. The cramps and my darkening nipples made me question it deep down. Its a tough journey though! Best of luck 🤞🏻

another thing I wanted to ask is did you get any implantation spotting at all to accompany the other symptoms? I’ve had nothing like it

muststayhopeful profile image
muststayhopeful in reply to Sophie249

No spotting at all. Just the cramping. It’s so hard isn’t it because some symptoms will be from progesterone. But try to stay positive. You’ve got this!! When is test day?

Oh yes and lots of gas too-loads! Poor husband! But he gets to drink alcohol so he can put up with that 🤣🤣🤣

Okay so sounds very similar to my symptoms then, I know I feel like I’m trying to hold on to any bit of hope I can. OTT is 18 May. But I mean I’m probably going to start testing next week from day 8 or something 🙈

Yes, I had that for the entire 2ww. I was really concerned that it was ohss because my stomach was so bloated as well and spoke with the clinic who advised it all sounded like good signs. Currently 18 weeks pregnant and the wind hasn't stopped 😂🤦‍♀️

Wishing all of you ladies on the 2ww the very best x

Hahaha you really made me chuckle, I’ll take the wind as a small price to pay if it means a baby is coming 🥰 and congratulations hun ❤️❤️❤️

No implantation bleeding, just really uncomfortable, bloated and windy. I had my positive day 9 after 5 day transfer x

Sophie249 in reply to Chiefy

Aww that’s amazing, I caved in and tested today! BFN obviously but it is only 5dp5dt so probably way too early! Do you have sore and tender boobs at all? Because mines are completely normal, no change there at all

Chiefy in reply to Sophie249

Boobs were completely normal until I got to about week 7/8 x

Oh darling I’m so sorry, I wish I knew what to suggest but I think you misread my post. I’m not pregnant...yet. I’ve only had my transfer and am waiting for 2 weeks to do the test, then I will find out if it’s been successful or not. I’ve had 2 failed cycles in the past so I know the pain and struggle. There are many other women in this forum with amazing success stories and tonnes of advice so I hope someone can help you. Best of luck ❤️

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, it won't have been caused by anything you did or didn't do. Unfortunately so many pregnancies end in miscarriage and there's often no obvious cause.

To be honest I didn't do anything else other than take the progesterone and the folic acid, tried to eat healthy and stay fit. I think so much of this process is down to luck and genetics.

Wishing you all the best for the future x

Oooo! That sounds EXACTLY like me!! I felt the worst period cramps and had so much gas I couldn't move without tooting! No joke! I was so angry that my body was giving me (what it felt like at the time) - the monthly from he to show meI once again wasn't pregnant! Because of how awful the cramping and bloating was I was positive my period was coming...and finally I took a pregnancy test 2 weeks later and BOOM! BFP...naturally while waiting to start second EC cycle! 😆🤞 I think those sound like positive signs Sophie! Good luck!!!

No implantation bleeding at all. Not even heaps of CM. Try to relax and I really hope you get your BFP. Xx

Hi Sophie I’m 3 days post my 5 day transfer and I too have been having bloating stomach cramps and very bad wind. No spotting yet either but it’s still early days am just trying to take it easy and stay positive but it’s easier said than done and I’ve been anxious about no spotting as the doc said that’s quite normal in the first week and I’ve not had any yet but everyone’s different so guess will just have to keep our fingers crossed 🤞🏻 For that BFp for both of us. Good luck with the rest of the 2 week wait xxx

Sophie249 in reply to Miaow1975

Aww best of luck hun! I’ve caved in and starting testing today but as expected it was a BFN. It is only 5 days in to the TWW but I have literally no willpower!

Miaow1975 in reply to Sophie249

Hi Sophie sorry for my delayed reply and to hear this. I wondered if you’ve tested again and had any success? I’m going to be testing on Sunday and am absolutely dreading it x

Sophie249 profile image
Sophie249 in reply to Miaow1975

Hey! Yes I tested again twice and they are not too dark but definitely darker than these, still treading cautiously until testing on day 14...best of luck to you getting your BFP!❤️❤️❤️

I’m the same. Had cramps the first two days but not now but very bloated I’m also day 4!

I'm 4dp5dt and was cramping & a little spotting days 1-3. Everything seems to have stopped today but just very tired 😔 hope we all get our BFP xx

I had the cramps 2-3 days after the frozen transfer and some slight lower back pain other than that I had no other symptoms at all and got a BFP on test day. My baby is now 6 months old ✨ good luck! X

Sophie249 in reply to Lucyhannah1

Oh wow! That’s amazing hun, I know I shouldn’t be getting my hopes up but I can’t help it, every single person has said the same thing, they had the exact same symptoms and they got a BFP. I’m scared to be too hopeful but it’s all I can think about! 😳
