cramps post FET

Hi all,

I know there are many threads on this forum but I’m feeling so anxious. I’m 7dp5dt and today I’ve had period cramps pretty much all day. Has anyone else experienced this where they have been constant and not stopped?

Thank you in advance!

hi I’m also 7dp5dt and having similar type cramps but they definitely don’t feel like normal period cramps it’s just a constant feeling. I don’t think it means anything for definite to be honest as could also be the progesterone or could be a sign that it worked

I’ve had cramps since 1dp5dt and I’ve been pretty sure I was getting my period but today is OTD 12dp5dt and I’ve had a BFP. Still had the cramps today too! It’s so hard not to focus on every symptom but I wish you lots of luck x

I’m 7 dp5dt also 😀 I’ve experienced similar cramping on and off. A bit milder than my normal period cramps and a bit more twingier.

My period would be due Friday and that’s my OTD but I’m on progesterone so it’s so hard to tell 😬

I was thinking about doing a hpt tomorrow morning but I’m a bit scared to lol

It’s such a roller coaster of emotions

Sometimes I think I feel like it’s worked and then ten minutes later I’m sad thinking it hasn’t.

I hope we all get our BFP this time 🙏💕💫

This is extremely common, I would try not to worry about it (much easier said than done I appreciate!) all these symptoms are generally caused by the progesterone regardless of whether it’s worked or not. Which I appreciate is very frustrating but just makes it very challenging to symptom spot.

If it’s driving you crazy with worry I would probably just do a test- by 7dp5dt it would be likely to be correct if you use a first response. But there’s always a chance it’s not. (My FETs that failed I waited till OTD and wished I had known and tested sooner- on the one that worked I tested on 7dp5dt and had a clear line)

Otherwise sit tight and find some distractions if you can!

Will keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
