Period like cramps 3dpt

[lnf17]

Happy Friday everyone!

I had my natural cycle FET on Tuesday & have been having cramps ever since. I feel like they are getting more intense & beginning to feel like I normally do when my periods due.

I would b due my period on Monday if I hadn’t been doing the transfer & am beginning to get really scared & sad as I feel like that’s what’s happening & my the transfer is already failing 🥺

Our 1st transfer failed after a week & now possibly only 3 days. I’m trying to stay positive but I did my last ovitrelle injection tonight & hoped that might stop the cramps but it’s not.

We haven’t told anyone about this transfer & partner is away working just now & feel like I’m so in my head.

This journey just consumes every part of you & beginning to feel really drained.

Might be implantation cramps! Same thing happened to me. I talked to the nurses and they said the medication I was on for FET would prevent my period. Are you taking progesterone?

Hi Bstott, thanks for your response.I keep trying 2 tell myself it could be implantation & really hoping. 🤞

No not on progesterone. I had 2 do ovitrelle injections 3 days b4 transfer, day of transfer & 3 days after (today). The injection is another kind of hormone i think.

Sorry, don’t know much about the effects of ovitrelle. But I’m wishing you all the best! Stay positive and hang in there! ❤️

Hey lbf17, I was you last weekend. I even posted about it because I was freaking out so much. I know what you mean about this process drains you - it really does. I was fine for egg retrieval val - even when my transfer had to be postponed because I had OHSS. Even through the pain I experienced after ET. Anyway then 3dp the cramps came and I just couldn’t take it anymore and started fretting. I too had a natural cycle FET but with extra progesterone which can cause cramps too. But no amount of reading others experienced helped me I was convinced it was my period. Anyway I did a test at 6DP because I couldn’t take it anymore and got a positive result. Not that it helped me but it did make me less anxious. Anyway just wanted to say that the cramps don’t have to be a bad thing. Hang in there and try and counter the pain by doing things that make you feel good . Mine is watching cheesy movies and eating ice cream and crisps. Wishing you all the best and sending you baby dust. Hang in there.

Hey bear blue, thanks so much for your response & congrats on ur BFP 👏👏Your comment has given me a lil bit of hope & im trying not 2 think about it but it’s so hard esp when I feel like someone is twisting my insides lol.

I’m not on progesterone & finishing my injections has made me more nervous. Sounds silly but I felt as though I was helping things along when I was doing them.

Wishing you a safe & happy pregnancy!! 💞xx
