Ok, so I had my FET transfer last Thursday. I feel great, except I've been having SLIGHT menstrual cramp feelings. NOTHING major, and it's not painful. Just a little cramping, that comes and goes, and only lasts about 5 min or so at a time. Is this normal??? (it's been 4 years since my last one, I don't remember!!LOL)
Another thing I've been noticing is EXTREME thirst! I'm ALWAYS wanting to guzzle water (which I normally don't like) and I don't have much of an appetite except for cold things, like fruit etc.
Could this be from the meds I'm on?? (progesterone and Estradiol) Anyone else experience any of this?? Should I worry about the cramping, or is this normal??
Thanks!!

Hey MyBoyParker ~
I had all those symptoms within a few days after my e/t. For me, I also began to feel really tired and my nipples felt like they were being stabbed. I also had (and still have) the feeling that my crotch was falling out, which was just a heaviness pushing down on my vagina. It sounds like you are having BFP symptoms!
Good luck! Are you going to POAS?

Ok, call me stupid........but what is POAS?? LOL I'm still learning some of these abbreviations.
And thanks for the ray of hope! I was worried that the cramping was a bad thing........

POAS is Pee on a stick!
don't worry about the cramping- it is probably the little one/ones just getting settled in!
take care and good luck on your journey

Well Loopie, I sure hope you're right!! I was worried that the cramping was because they DIDN'T take........kind of miscarriage so to speak.......
