Post ET cramps part 2

Post by lulis »

Hello ladies!
I really appreciate your sharing experiences with me. Today I'm on my 5th day porst ET. I called my clinic 3 days adgo to find out about the cramps and they didn't know what to tell me. They said the timming of my cramps was really odd, since it was so many hours after the ET, and too early to think about implantation cramps, so I decided to forget about it and was able to do it for a couple of days. It is good to know I'm not the only one who had one of these type of cramps, though.
Today I woke up very pessimistic, and have no one to talk about it. I don't want to upset my DH without a real evidence of failure, but I have a bad feeling. These 2 ww are killing me!

lulis- I am so sorry that you are having a down day. I too had HORRIBLE cramps after et. Mine were 4 hours afterwards. When I contacted my clinic they said not to worry, this was normal. They just told me to take tylenol as needed. Well, yesterday around 2am I started cramping a little again. I didn't think much of it (just hoped it was implantation) I then cramped off and on all day yesterday. I finally tood tylenol last night. I have been feeling okay today.
This 2ww stuff is horrible. I find myself overanalyzing EVERYTHING!!! We just have to stay as calm and as positive as possible. Come and vent anytime you need to. We love you.

I am currently 7dp3dt (or one week into my 2ww). I get to test next Wednesday (June 27). It has been a really long week. However, we will get through this.
I mentioned to my sister tonight that I had mild cramping yesterday, and that I was hoping that it was implantatig cramps, but was doubtful that it was. (seemed too far past that time period). She said it could have been the uterus stretching to make room for the little embies. That sure made me all the more hopeful.
We really need to surround ourselves with positive people, or people who will cheer us on the whole way. That is the wonderful thing with this site. All these women are so supportive.
Are you going to do a HPT? I am pretty sure...almost positive that I will do one on Sunday. Pray for positive results.
I am here for you. Please keep me posted on how you are feeling. Remember, we will have down days,but there is always tomorrow, and hopefully the sun will be shining then.
When do you test?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. My dh doesn't even know I bought hpt's. When my neighbor asked when I was going to test, he said we would NOT be testing early. Little does he know. So much easier for the men to say. They aren't sitting here questioning everything.
How many embies did you have implanted? I am sure you have told me, but is this your first time at IVF?

Hello there,
So, I'm glad Thursday is over. It was a bad day, but today I decided to be strong and positive. It seems to be working. I'm feeling fine , in good spirit, still afraid of having too much hope, but I'm hanging in there. I even imagined this a.m how would it feel to get a BFP. It would be amazing!
I will test on the 29th but don't know if I can wait that long. It is so tempting every tiime I walk by the drugstore...
My DH doesn't even know I'm considering taking a hpt. He wouldn't like that, but I can't help myself!
You guys have no idea how much I appreciate your support. I'll be praying for both of you hrobinson and tuna, Good luck!

As I stated earlier, I bought a pack of HPT and did not tell dh. He would be really upset. Why? I am not quite sure. anyhow, I am going to test on Sunday, then again Monday, and again on Tuesday. I am not as optimistic as I have been. TOo much thinking. I need to remember PMA!!!

Hi Lucis, I think I have the same cramp like you after ET. I didn't feel much pain after ER but a lot after ET. The first 2 days were the worst and it's subside gradually, now I'm on 9dp3dt I still feel "pressing" there.

Hi hrobinson, my hubby is very support me and of course he wants to have baby so this morning I woke hime up at 8 ( he always sleep until 11am in weekend :) ) to go to walmart to buy hpt for me. In the past, after failing many IUIs, he didnt' want me to take hpt before the blood test but this time is our first IVF - you are right, Hrobinson. I had 2 embies transfer - 9 cells grade A and 7 cells grade A, grade A is the best -

I did hpt this morning and got a very very faint line, I hope it is a positive. I will try it again tomorrow. Keep in touch and good luck on you hpt tomorrow

Tuna- I am so excited for you. A faint line is a faint line pointing to a BFP!!! I have been waiting to read how things went for you.
Let me know what happens with it tomorrow.

I will be doing a HPT tomorrow morning. I am a little nervous. For some reason , I have this empty feeling today and have actually started thinking it didn't work. We will see what the results bring tomorrow.

Congratulations :D :D :D :D

Thank you hronbinson. However, I'm not excited now, I don't know , I think maybe I read wrong but we both - my husband and I - saw a faint line this morning. The line fade now, only see some dark spot blue. My husband buy my 3 more hpt -wal mart brand - and I try this afternoon and It's negative -BFN. I think maybe my hcg is too low and I need the first urine in the morning. My husband is depressed about it, eventhough I convince him that "It's a BFP" . He makes me confused now. I can't wait until tomorrow !! Keep our fingers cross for you and me

tuna- Hey, don't get down. You got a +ve this am, and I am sure it is still a +ive. When I read the instructions this am on my test, it said that the +ve will eventually fade, so make sure and look at it within 10 minutes. Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive. Things will go well tomorrow. make sure to keep me posted. I too will let you know how my hpt goes.
