Worried about cramps

Post by mitnchris »

I had my et yesterday and I have been cramping since about 3 hours after. I got no sleep last night laying awake just knowing it didn't work. Is cramping bad? That soon? Does it mean my uterus expelled the embies? We had the perfect blasts, grade A, or grade 1, they were amazing looking. I was so hopeful when I left the clinic and now I am desparing to no end. I just want to sleep it away but sleep refuses to come.

Wow. Reading what you wrote almost made me cry! Gosh what a ride this is, I am NOT an emotional person but yesterday even Oprah made me cry.

Really? :D You cramped the whole time?? I thought, maybe 2 days after a little cramping from implantation but I just figured cramping the day of was a bad sign. That makes my day that you talked to others and everyone who cramped got bfp's. I do feel better now, so thank you.

My test isn't until the 9th - next Thursday. I am online constantly reading and trying to find things out about what my body is going through. I think I will come to this site everyday until my test and hopefully after!

I also cramped straight away after my et, and still do now on and off. apparently the progesterone doesnt help the cramps much either.
And im 7wks 4days now, so good luck. :D

I didn't have cramps right away after et, but with in a couple of days I did have mild cramps off and on through out the 2ww. I still have them occasionally, although it's less now than it was before.

I'm now 5wks pregnant. So hang in there, I think it's different for everyone.

I can't remember if I had cramping or not but I hope it turns out a BFP for you! Remember that PMA really helps also. I know it's hard to be hopeful sometimes but we really have to try keep positive! I literally talked to my tummy and begged those embies to stay. It sounds silly but I just couldn't help myself. So keep positive and we are all keeping our fingers crossed for you!

Take care!
