9 days past 5 day transfer and feel my period about to start? Anyone else?

Ive been cramping since day 4-5 and they were subtle but now today day 9, they feel stronger, not as strong as my actual period cramps but they feel like they are building up to it.

Ive had 2 positive clear blue digital ultra early tests, a few positive Easy@Home strips & some FRER. I havent had any spotting at all, a fair bit of watery discharge & the usualy pregnancy symptoms (bb's on fire, backache, itchy skin, emotional, vomiting and nausea and cant make it through the day without a nap)

Anyone else had this? goes from one side to both sides. Radiates between the two.

Thanks in advance

Could be due to progesterone pessaries/gel if they have been prescribed Just take things easy - rest if you can Hoping it settles soon

Take care

Not sure, I have been on them for 30 days now and only just had cramping the last few days so i dont think they would be the cause

hiya, have you tested again and still seeing positives?

Tbh, I’ve now been pregnant 6 times and find it impossible to distinguish between my period about to arrive and being in early pregnancy - feels very similar!!

Yep this morning it was a digital clear blue that said pregnant. My blood test is tomorrow!

Im day 9 today too, i have also been having some cramping today and would have been due on my period tomorrow/Saturday ish. I have been worried too but all my tests have been positive and todays test was stronger than the last few days. Hoping its just the body adjusting :)

Same to you too :). My clinic test day is Monday at 13dpt so still got a bit to go until i speak to them and they don't do beta either, they book for a scan at around 4 weeks... xx

I had cramps and that horrid periody feeling before my OTD and was convinced it was another BFN. It wasn’t! I’ve also been having period like cramps for the past week and so called EPU. Scan Weds showed a perfectly healthy wriggly little 11+6 baby!! 💖

This is really reassuring to hear. I'm 7dpt and have woken up with really painful cramping. I had what I thought was implantation bleeding last night so hoping this cramps are just the little one getting snuggled in!

I had that same AF alert and then a bleed at 9dp5dt. Has the bleeding stopped?

It was literally the tiniest pink smudge on a tissue when I wiped, if I wasn't looking out for it I probably wouldn't have even noticed.

Could even be irritation from pessaries.

Not what you're looking for?
