Af cramping / symptoms day 7-9 post FET, can I still get a BFP?!?

prying4miraclebaby profile image

This is my first IVF cycle. I started to get bad AF like cramps between day 7-9 (it is day 9 and lighter today) post FET. My beta blood test test is tomorrow and my period is due Friday. I started to get sore breasts on day 7. I’m currently on progesterone injections, vaginal progesterone and estrogen pills. Please give me hope. Anyone have these symptoms and still got a BFP? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was cramping all the way through my first and second cycle! First time it wasn’t great it was a biochemical and second it was a positive it’s just so hard to tell hunny best of luck 🤞🏻❤️

Very happy for you xx

This is my 5th ivf cycle and 2nd fet. Today is 8dp5dfet and on days 6 and 7 i had really bad cramps on my lower abdomen and lower back. It felt like AF was on the way cos In previous failed cycles I had the exact symptoms when I got BFNs. So I was really devastated. I tested today(8dpt) and got a BFP. I think your symptoms are a good sign. Keep hope alive!

Did you have any symptoms? I am 3dp6dt and I have no symptoms just mild cramps on day2.

Hi! So I had mild cramps on day2 as well. Then all the cramps went away. Then the night of day 7, they started back up..my breasts were sore and the cramps continued. Literally, I was 100% certain my AF was coming. Especially because every time I would get cramps when we did IUI, which was 2wice, prior to going the route of IVF, I’d get a BFN. I can’t explain how scared and emotional I was this time between day 7-9. Then today, I’m pregnant! It’s crazy, but what gave me hope was looking at the feedback from women in the group! Stay positive and relax. I wish I did that more, versus googling and stressing. Keep reading posts like mine and others, it will give you hope.

Sending good vibes to you!!!!

On days 2 and 3 post transfer, I felt AF like cramps in my lower abdomen. Then on days 6 and 7, the cramps returned to my lower abdomen and back. It just felt like another failed cycle cos in previous cycles AF usually showed up before OTD. Also, on day 5 up until today, i found it difficult to insert my pessaries as they always came out anytime I put them in(a strange occurrence I've never had to deal with in previous cycles).Those were the only symptoms I had. No sore boobs, nausea, fatigue, food aversion etc. Just AF like cramps. For me, these other symptoms usually kick in from the 6th week.

I think you're on the path to success.
