No dizziness. No abdominal cramping. Just some sharp pain every once in a while that last couple of seconds. Only some mild calf cramping on and off.

Stressball,

I too had some dizziness and mild cramping! I am in my 2ww and go for my beta tomorrow. Wow, I never even thought to post my new onset of dizziness. It is mild and only when I get up quickly after sitting for a long period. Not sure why but I checked my blood pressure sitting and standing and really didn't notice any fluctuation. Probably has to do with the hormones! Wish me luck. And good luck to you too!!!!

Good morning ladies. I had mild cramping last night...first since my et. It was bearable, but a little scary.
Interesting that you should mention dizziness...never thought about it. I too have dizziness when I stand up. I too am sure that it has to do with the progesterone or something.

tracyrae- Good luck on your beta tomorrow. I can't wait to hear how it turns out. Wouldn't it be great if we all got BFP??? Have you done a HPT?

Hi Ladies,

I had ET on Jun14 and test will be on Jun26. I felt normal after ER but after ET I have felt cramp on my thighs, and my lower belly like I am having mense. On the ET procedure, they gave me Valium to " calm " my uterus but it didn't work for the day after so I felt cramp a lot and back pain too

About 2 days later I only feel pressure in my lower belly all of the time. And in the first days when I pressed there i felt pain in both side not in the middle - uterus - but now I only feel pain in the middle.

This is my first IVF. I failed on all of the 6 IUIs. In those IUIs cycles,, I did feel the cramp but it just 1-2 days not long like that. Besides, I also feel dizziness - also new to me. I don't know if it's a good sign or bad one ?

It looks like we will have test around the same time, so keep in touch and support each others in this 2WW

good luck everyone

Tuna- I really can't help you with the pains that you are feeling. However, my clinic told me to call them immediately if I had ANY bleeding, or ANY cramping So, you might try calling your clinic and seeing what they have to say.
I had really bad cramps after ET. I thought my body was rejecting the embrios. However, my clinic didn't think that was the case. Now I have only had minor cramping (just last night).
Just try not to overanalyse every twinge....easier said than done. Teh other thing to remember is that our bodies are pumped full of hormones, and those hormones in addition to the progesterone we are giving ourselves make us have "pregnancy symptoms." so, even though it seems like we are having those symptoms, they are not necessarily pregnancy signs. The meds also make us have AF symptoms. So, just try to stay positive until June 26. It will be here in less than a week. WE will be praying for you.

CRUSHED

Post by tracyrae »

Hi ladies,

Just got my BFN!! I am totally crushed. Tried not to cry until my DH left for work. Just so disappointed. :cry: Not sure what went wrong? Scared to try again since my retrieval post op was painful and not what I expected at all. Plus I had the fever and the antibiotics. It really s##cks, and you can't help feeling like you did something wrong.

I just hope all of you TAJMA, TUNA, STRESSBALL, HROBINSON get your BFP's. I'll be thinking of you!

I am so sorry. I know it hard, but keep you head up and think positive. There is always next time. I know that you are scarred, but you can talk to your ER and see if there is anythinh that they can do different next time so that you don't have to have many problems. Please keep in touch and let us know if threre is anything that you want to talk about.
