Mild cramping on stims

[Mrsjaytee]

Hi

Day 3 of stims (pergoveris and GonalF)...and i have very mild cramps/twinges. Not painful, so I know its nothing serious, but I dont remember having these during my last 2 cycles.

My last 2 cycles had very little follicle growth (4 on one cycle, 3 on the other), so I am hopeful these little cramps are maybe my follicles responding well and growing.

Did anybody else notice little cramps on a more successful cycle? My scan is next week, so that will confirm everything, but I am hopeful the 'no pain, no gain' saying might be applicable here

I experienced cramping and backpain throughout my stims too and I was so worried that I was either ovulating early etc. Turns out there was no need to worry. Just got 12 eggs retrieved on Monday and 9 were mature and fertilized and I'm 42. Good luck

12 eggs is fantastic! i would be DELIGHTED with your results. I hope we are as lucky. 1st scan this Wed coming, and hopefully EC on Valentines day. I hope your next stage goes as well for you.

Do you mind me asking what meds you had been on?

I am on Pergoveris, GonalF and Cetrotide. I have had 3 poor cycles with low numbers and 1 really good one. Hoping for another goodie this time round.

Cramps could be a sign that the ovaries are working well and there will be some good eggs to be collected

Good luck with your treatment

100% what i am hoping is happening. They arent bad cramps, just little twinges. Im hoping to have more eggs than the easter bunny in here haha.
