Back pain after FET (and losing my mind a bit!)

I'm 2dp5dt and having back and leg pain.I can feel it on my left side in particular, down into my hip, calf and foot. Feels almost like it could be coming from my left ovary but I'm not sure..

Anyone else experienced something similar?

I said I wouldn't symptom spot this tww, and would just try to relax.and not worry, but it's so difficult. ๐Ÿซฃ

It's my third transfer, really praying this one sticks and sticks around. ๐Ÿ’š

hello, I have had this with all but one of my transfers (currently 7 weeks 3 days). This time the pain came before the transfer but all other times except my first positive, when I had no pain, it came a few days after the transfer. Initially I thought it was implantation not working and maybe to do with a blocked fallopian tube (diagnosed after my 4th failure) but this time getting it before the transfer and without my blocked tube, it made me think itโ€™s nothing to do with the transfer. Some doctors have told me that itโ€™s the medication (Iโ€™m on 2 crinone a day, progesterone oil every other day and 3 estrofem a day), and I also wondered if itโ€™s sciatica.

So Iโ€™m afraid I have no answers for you but I did still get a positive test inspite of the pain. Good luck๐Ÿ™

Hi ToffeeLou, thanks so much for responding. And congratulations!! That's so strange, I actually also had this pain at the same time on my last transfer (which didn't implant) so when I got it again at exactly 2dp I thought it was a bad sign and have been wondering about silent endo or something.

Does yours feel quite nervy and hot? I feel it mostly in my left foot. I've had no other symptoms so far (have had lots of tweaks and crampy feelings previously on rounds that were BFP but losses). But trying to keep hoping, I know it's still early at 3dp today. And your message helps so thanks again! Xx

Iโ€™ve got this from about the 2nd day in this current transfer round but I just assumed I had pulled something (with trying to avoid lifting with my stomach muscles and I have a dodgey pelvis on that side too) I got a BFP so whatever it is didnโ€™t affect the transfer ๐Ÿค— not sure if it was connected as a symptom or not though but I still have it on and off! good luck๐ŸŒŸ xx

Oh wow, there's a few of us with leg pain, that makes me feel a bit better! ๐Ÿ˜Š I've been worried it's an autoimmune / inflammatory response or something.

Did yours run into the foot? That's where I'm mostly feeling it, quite hot and zingy almost. I also feel ZERO twinges this time, which I've had before on BFPs.

Today I will try to remain hopeful. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Xx

No itโ€™s more like sciatica but not quite so down my bum into my leg mostly. Thank you and good luck to you xx

hey, Iโ€™m currently 3dp5dt and Iโ€™ve had really strange back pain over the last couple of days. It has felt almost like Iโ€™ve been sat funny but Iโ€™ve never had this feeling before! I also had a few tugging/sharp pains on my lower left back. Iโ€™d say my womb feels a bit heavy? & Iโ€™m SO bloated. Iโ€™m praying these are all good signs ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ I hope youโ€™re doing ok and that your back pain eases soon xx

Hey, I'm still having pains but they're sort of moving around - almost feels like growing pain now in my legs! 5dp5dt and somehow have managed to hold off early testing. It's such a long wait. Fingers crossed for us both ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโœจโœจxx

Aww youโ€™re 1 day ahead of me! Iโ€™m 4dp5dt today. My back pains have actually eased a bit but my boobs have got bigger and Iโ€™m definitely still bloated. Just going to keep praying! Take care xx
