Trying again

[Jrss1]

Hi everyone, so as it says above, I have tried again. Did a 5 day transfer on Monday. I started getting cramps on Monday evening and they progressively got worse on Tuesday and more so on Wednesday but today there’s nothing. I only started getting the cramps after the transfer so I’m not sure if it’s the progesterone because I had been on it 5 days before and didn’t experience any cramps. I’m just wondering if you think it was the actual transfer that did it or could it be the start of implantation? I have also had lower back pain. Also, I’m taking Crinone gel 8% morning and evening. Is that enough? I see a lot of you take clexane etc. thanks guys xx

Hi lovely, congrats on being PUPO!My number 1 rule - don't trust any symptoms. Try and take it one day at a time - because you'll drive yourself mad analysing every single thing. It could well be implantation - could also be your uterus reacting to the transfer - try and stay neutral if you can!

I would try and trust what your clinic has given you to take - comparing just sends you crazy.

Everything crossed for you xxx

Thanks so much Millbanks! I’ll try to forget about it for awhile. So bloody hard tho!!

How are you?? xx

It's borderline impossible!! But honestly I found it so much easier last time to notice when I felt things, acknowledge them, then park them.... don't get excited or feel negative - just try and stay somewhere in the middle!! I'm good thank you! 22 weeks today and still can't believe it xxx

Hi Jrss1, my thoughts exactly. Today is my OTD, I haven’t done it yet. Going to walk to the clinic and do a blood test. I can’t face another negative so will just wait for the phone call this afternoon. Similar to you. I had a combination of wind , period pain and back ache, then nothing. Pretty much like how it is before I come on. I think it is down to progesterone yet I have been on all the medication before the transfer so I don’t know why it feels worse after transfer and during the TWW. Heightened sense of awareness? Desperation? Hope?

We are all so different too so symptoms or lack of means nothing..

I am keeping it all crossed for you xx

Everything crossed for you today xx

Hey Leo1980, yes, your symptoms seem very similar to mine. I started getting cramps again at lunch and when I went to the toilet, there was a little brown on my pants. Could be just from the transfer and only came out now?

I’m keeping everything crossed for you today! I really hope you get your BFP! Keep us posted xx
