cramping and positive results anyone?

Post by gllanes »

Hi, I did ivf and my beta is tuesday. I´m taking progesterone injections, but every once in a while I feel cramping as if AF where coming now. Has anyone experienced AF cramping and gotten a BFP?

The first week or so I felt cramping on/off. Now I am just about done with the 2ww. I have my first Beta HCG tomorrow. I did not experience full AF cramps, but then again...I have a history of severe endometriosis and my cramps were always SUPER bad. So, the cramping I have been experiencing is MUCH MUCH milder than that. But, I have had BFP's for the last 6 days on my HPT's. So, hoping you also have the same success. Remember, God is in control.

bertvonn- thank you, that gives me hope. My beta is for tuesday but I think I´m gonna go take it tomorrow instead. My dh was reading you don´t have to wait the whole 14days. And yes I totally agree God is in control. And if it´s His will it will happen. Thank you for that.

bertvonn- how many did you transfer and what day? I am due for beta on Tuesday also and will be 11dp5dt then. I have been testing
(hpt) since Friday and have gotten BFN's so I am quit bummed now. I can't believe you've had 6 days worth of BFP's. I didn't even think that was possible.
Anyway, would love to hear a little more about your story.
Thanks, Melanie

Melanie,
I am 34 years old with a history of severe endometriosis, scarring and adhesions, both tubes completely blocked and removed one year ago. This was our first IVF cycle and we were only able to remove 4 follicles. 3 of the 4 fertilized and since we didn't have many options for which embryos were "Best suited for transfer" , my RE transferred them back on APril 7th. We transferred all 3! I tested for the first day (of course it was not recommended, but I couldn't wait) 8dp2t. That was the first day my UPT was positive, very faint. ANd since then, each day has gotten darker and darker. My first serum HCG will be tomorrow morning. How about you? How many days post transfer are you? I wish you the best. God Bless You.

Cramping is a common side effect of progesterone.

hi ladies, unfortunately this time didn't have a happy ending. The test came back negative but I knew this would happen based on the cramping and flow yesterday.

I've been told to wait for a month and them hopefully I can try again.

gllanes - Hi there, just wanted to send some positive information to you. I had cramping with my first BFP back in May of 2008. It was very similar to AF cramps and bloating, so certainly don't take this as a bad sign. If your beta is tomorrow, you should be close enough to take a HPT, which could ease your mind as well. Good luck to you.

Hi ladies. I just had my ET last April 27 and my Beta is on May 7, 2009. Since my ET, I only felt mild cramps on my left and right side which is once in a while. No spotting too.

I totally agree with you ladies..God is in control.

May I ask what does AF means? Im just new in this forum and Im still learning some of the acronyms.

Thank ladies. God bless us all.
