Don't lose hope! I would give anything for a symptom like that right now! Keeping everything crossed for you. 🤞🤞 I had an FET on the 28th July and I am going crazy with no symptoms and feeling like normal! This wait it so so hard xx

Oh dear, this is so normal. Listen to me I had period cramps until I was 13 weeks!!! Heck yes!! Every day I thought my period is coming, back pain is also normal because of the progesterone you are taking and also your body starts to produce itself to take over when will be the right time. I had cramps and red light spotting for over 2 weeks and my pregnancy still progressed. Don't do any physical activities, not even much walking. Stay in bed and relax. There is a hope!!! ♥️😘🤩

My motto is hope dies last! Please don't lose your hope.I've had a FET in June, after the transferI had and still having cramps and pain in the left side. It's very painful. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and had a scan on Friday, the doctor checked my ovaries in case I have ovarian cysts, but was not the case. So please don't be scared, stay positive and you'll see positive things will happen. Good luck and God bless you! 🤗

Don’t lose hope!!

Everyone is so different and symptoms vary between individuals - some experience loads, others don’t at all!

I had what I thought was bad period cramp on D7 & D8, alongside bloating and being super gassy (nice). I’m now 7 weeks pregnant with twins, and I still have all those pains! I also have OHSS which doesn’t help the bloating and pains but for me it was a positive sign so hopefully it is for you too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xxx

Hey Zeezee, you’re not out yet. I had similar symptoms at 6dp and even bled slightly. I was convinced it was over. The cramps were really bad too. Anyway I got my BFP and I’m now 12 weeks. There’s hope. Wishing you all the best 2WW is a tough one. I tried many things to keep myself occupied - sometimes successful and other times not. Sending you baby dust !

I had my first transfer on 28th and had cramps on 30th, after that nothing but period pain, very different from implantation cramps. Finding this 2ww the hardest part of the process and I’ve been super positive and felt great up to this point! Are you going to test on ODT? My ODT is the 8th but I doubt I will manage to wait! Whishing you a positive outcome! Xxx

We are most cycle buddiesis this your first cycle

I don't want to jinx it by doing an early test so waiting for the OTD

Praying for positive outcome for both of us ❤❤

Thank you for your kind words i hope I get my BFP❤❤

Like everyone else has said, don’t lose hope!! I had a FET in June and totally convinced myself it hadn’t worked, really strong period like cramps and back ache that felt so tender and sore. But we got our BFP and I’m now 12 weeks. The 2WW is agony, keep hanging in there, just do what you need to do to get through each day. Wishing you lots of luck xx
