12dp5dt cramping

[Simmokt]

Slowly going crazy today - I had some cramping for the first 4-5 days post transfer but it died down and I haven't felt much apart from an occasional twinge. Yesterday and today the cramps are back and feel like a dull ache. They're strong enough I'd take a pain killer if I could. My husband and I have promised ourselves we won't test until tomorrow (OTD is Monday), but I'm worried that this means it's all over. I've had nausea and dizziness since about day 5 but I'm on a lot of progesterone, hot flushes and am waking up really early over the last few days And a few boob twinges but nothing major. Just looking for a bit of reassurance I suppose...

Hi lovely. I'm on 4dp5dt and I feel your pain! I'm in that cramping phase too since transfer. It's so hard to tell what's the drugs and what's real!

No words of wisdom as I am an anxious mess myself but hang on in there! Not long now xxx

I’m day 8 and yes cramps have come and gone. Boob pain has come and gone and come back again. I’ve also been dizzy, headache yesterday which can be a sign of AF for me. It’s such a difficult time. I’m on extra progesterone also, hard to know if it’s good or bad signs! x

I had loads of cramping at the start and then from about midway through the tww. I’m now 6+6 weeks pregnant and still get regular cramps. Also on lubion twice daily!It’s yet another annoying ivf symptom that could mean anything, just wanted to show that it’s not necessarily a bad sign.

Good luck!

Ps you should be fine taking paracetamol x

Hello, I saw your latest post and I’ve very sorry it hasn’t worked this time round. All I can say is from experience, painful cramping close to OTD is usually a sign your period wants to come but it’s being stopped by medication. Wishing you all the best with your next round xx
