Extreme cramping at 5w2d, am I done?

[Blue-cat33]

Hi all,

I was fortunate to get a positive test 10 days ago, and had very bad cramps but this was mainly down to constipation as well as the Cyclogest I am on. However, on Sunday, I had a cramping that lasted for about 15 minutes, really extreme that made my legs shake. I knew this was not the same as the cramping before. Ive had no bleeding and now I have hardly any cramping at all. I still have sore boobs but, I put that down to the cyclogest. My viability scan is not until the 17th and my clinic won't do it any earlier and I am really worried that the pregnancy has gone.

Baby dust to everyone.

Hi Blue-cat. Sorry to hear yhis. You must make sure that you don't get constipated, as poo passing by still tender ovaries can cause a sudden "ouch". Make sure you drink plenty of water, just in case you might be developing a urine infection. Get a urine check if it continues. Good luck! Diane

Thanks Diane.

Hi, please don't ignore this. I had a very similar experience at around 9 weeks pregnant. I found out at a scan at 11 weeks I had had a missed miscarriage. I had no bleeding. Yours is much earlier though so it might be completely different.

It might be absolutely fine, but if I were you I'd try to get an appointment at the early pregnancy unit and get a scan. Wishing you all the very best xx

Hi, thanks for sharing your story and I am sorry about to hear about your miscarriage. I spoke with the early pregnancy unit where I am and they did not seem concerned and told me to wait until my scan with my IVF clinic. Easier said than done.

I am looking at potentially paying for a private early scan so at least I know.

Wishing you all the best.

Glad you called them. Might be best to wait for your IVF clinic. sometimes with early scans they can't see definitively, so waiting the extra week might give a clearer picture. Not an easy wait. I hate all this waiting....currently in my 2WW after another transfer. xx

I appreciate your advice to ring them. Hopefully it will be ok, but I am prepping myself for bad news. No, the waiting is the hardest part, and I thought it would be easier after a positive result.

I have my fingers crossed for you, for it to go quick and for you to get a positive result.
