Period like cramps - 2WW

MagicTourmaline profile image
20 Replies

Hi ladies, I am driving myself mad about my cramps... Had my transfer on the 16th April and coming to the end of my 2WW...I have period like cramps and was waiting to see blood, but no blood, then I realised I am not very likely to have period until I stop the progesteron as I am on a high dose (3 passeries + 2 Lubion)...

I promised myself I won't google this time but that obviously didn't happen...

I read period cramps are more presistent and pregnancy cramps come and go for a few days and milder...

Anybody can say anything that would give me a bit of peace of mind??? (Not sure its possible... 😅)

Can you have period pain while high progesteron delaying your period???

I seem to be driving myself mad and still 3 days until my test date... 🥴

Hi MagicTourmaline, sorry you’re feeling like that it’s such a rollercoaster. I am 8dp6dt and have also had cramping, although it is on and off but at times I have felt it strong, but I did get a good BFP line today. My OTD isn’t until Tuesday but I find it helps me to know either way. This was my 3rd transfer, 1st didn’t implant, the second did but didn’t stay 😔Would you consider testing to put your mind at rest or do you think it would cause more anxiety.

I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Congratulations on your BFP!!! 🥰Mine is on and off, but it creeps me out when I feel it strong... 🥴

I am reluctant to test before test date as if its a faint positive as its early and I get excited and then later I find out its chemical I could't deal with that... 😔

Congratulations to you. I am also 8dp6dt and my first cycle. I did my urine test this morning as I couldn't wait. It is negative . My OTD is on Tuesday as well but I feel deflation and emotionally down. Could there be a hope for me?😭

Thank you. It could still be too early, I’ve read some people don’t get a bfp until later on due to later implantation. Fingers crossed this is the case for you, don’t give up hope 🙏🏼

I also had a transfer on the 16th and have had mild cramps, spotting on day 5&6 post transfer and was absolutely convinced until I did my test which was this morning that I was pregnant but it’s negative. I have to test again on Monday but I’m sure it’s a no.

The only time I’ve had treatment and it worked I had cramps and bleeding the day before my test and was convinced it was all over, he’s 6 now.

With the drugs you can literally never tell so don’t worry about your symptoms at all. Try and keep yourself busy as it’s so hard.

Wishing you the best of luck for 3 days time xxx

I experienced cramps on my negative cycles but also on my latest cycle, and to my surprise I got a BFP on Monday. So for me they could be a sign either way. Don’t give up hope. Thinking of you and wishing you the best of luck for your result. X

I also read the same as you about the difference between cramps. Honestly mine felt exactly the same as my usual period cramps at days 9 and 10. I’ve got my viability scan tomorrow…. Hang in there and try to think positive!! There could be your little miracle in there waiting to surprise you! 🍀 👶🏼 ✨ Personally I’d hang in there till OTD as a negative could still be just as it’s early and would just stress you out. Good luck 🤞🏼

Hi I am also in the tww, I had a transfer on the 17th April OTD is 29th April…. But I have been on Hcg booster shots so I cant trust a test its driving me nuts, not sure if this will help but I have had cramps on and off on a previous successfull cycle and a failed cycle so you can never really tell, I wish us all stick baby dust, so nerve wrecking ☺️

I also had a transfer on the 16th so testing at the weekend. I have had a mixture of cramps with on all of mine (this is number 4) and all negative so far but I think it's just the meds. Hard not to go mad though wondering if your period is coming! I also have super achy boobs this time which I've never had before but I'm on higher progesterone this time so it's impossible to know!
