Cramps 10dp6dt

hi everyone, I guess everything is over now that I have started having period-like cramps last night (9dp6dt). The cramps seem to have gone away as of this morning but I do seem to have a light period migraine. I guess the cramps will come back followed by my period.

Need a lot of courage currrently to face yet another failed cycle.

This is our second FET and we have no more embryos after this so we'd have to start a new IVF cycle.

I've had the same symptoms as you, but felt like af has been coming for 3 days now. I too am 10dp5dt(frozen). Today, convinced it was over for me, I did an early detection test at home and got a strong positive. Bloods tomorrow, but it might not be af after all...x.

Hi. I am in the same boat as you. It's my 11dpt6dt. It was a frozen transfer. None left. And having period cramps since yesterday. I am still continuing with my meds till official test date though, as husband isn't in favor of early testing.If it doesn't work, it's back to square 1 for us.

You are not alone. Hang in there.

Our strategy is, if it works that will be v good. If it doesn't, we will do the next round with all and any additional treatments available like Acupuncture and regular Coq 10.

Hiya, I’m so sorry you’re feeling so stressed and scared - I know the feeling very well. Are you on any progesterone pessaries/shots as they definitely cause cramps. I had lots of cramps in all my 2ww and 2 of them were positive and im currently 15w. It’s not over yet! Sending lots of love xxx

Hi Patience. Just keep up with any prescribed medication and test on the day recommended by your clinic. Be careful not to get constipated as this can caused cramping feelings too. Good luck! Diane

I had full period symptoms when I got pregnant. Don't assume it's over yet.

Congrats to those who got pregnant! It's always nice to know it can work! I wish you a healthy pregnancy and baby!

Thank you everyone for your kind replies and your support! I am so so careful to not to be hopeful... Last FET I had cramps on 7dp5dt but then got a negative blood test result on 12dp5dt, so I'm thinking this cycle is going to be the same...last time, with the blood results, they told me to stop the hormonal drugs immediately and I got my period on 14dp5dt.

Ever since 2 days ago when I posted this, I've had no more cramps (so far it's similar to the previous FET) but I still have sore breasts. I'm on estradiol (Progynova) and Progesterone (Utrogestan) vaginal tablets, which could explain both the sore breasts and the cramps. But okay, the cramps could be due to my period or the progesterone...

Normally, my period is due in 2 days but since I'm on hormonal medication, it doesn't really make sense to expect my period to come on its own on 14dp6dt. However, for the first time, I will actually do a pregnancy test tomorrow with my husband as we are on holiday and feeling ready to know whether it'll be a new IVF cycle for us or not. Usually I never test and would rather wait for my period. This time, I've been preparing myself for a negative for so long that now I just want to know for practical reasons if we need to get on the waitlist for a new IVF cycle. Also, this test is going to expire soon so I figure might as well try it :)

It is written on the urine pregnancy test that it's likely to be accurate 2 days before the day of the expected period, so I'll try it with my morning urine when I get up (12dp6dt).

Also, I observed that lots of women on this forum test before 12dp6dt, it gives me some certainty that I'm not testing too early (also as the box says so). The official blood test was supposed to be on 12dp6dt, but we are on holiday so it got moved to 24/July. They'd like us to come in for the blood test even if I get my period in the meantime.

Stark negative.

We have no more embryos, so we'll be looking at getting on the waitlist for a new IVF cycle. Since we're on holiday, my blood test got moved to Sunday. I know my clinic will only put us on the waitlist when we have our blood results. They had told us to continue with the medication even if I get my period in the meantime. Anyhow, just going to enjoy the rest of our vacation 🙂❤️ hope everyone is doing well 🙂
