I'm so worried. My last pregnancy, a year ago was e/p. Lord, I'm so scared it's happening again. But my #'s have been so good. I think they'll show at the end of this post. I have betas again tomorrow and u/s Wednesday.
There are many different types of "cramping" that are normal and fine during pregnancy. I keep getting cramps that turn out to be intestinal. Progesterone can cause intestinal upset. There is also round ligament pain, however, I usually encounter that as a sharp pain when I move too quickly. There are also muscle cramps that my regular Dr warned me about due to various causes including progesterone causing ligaments to loosen. Also, the uterus is growing and stretching and that can cause cramps. I hope it is one of these benign reasons. Good luck tomorrow and Wednesday.

I had a ton of cramping between my transfer and beta, and for the entire first trimester of my pregnancy and everything was fine. I had cramps, shooting pains and aches of all kinds (down below) and I was convinced something was wrong but all was well!
I am sorry you are having cramping but it is probably completely normal. I too had an e/p and I am not sure what your symptoms were when you had it but I had a very distinct pain on one side where the e/p was and only that side. It was a very noticable pain and it got pretty bad once that I thought I would pass out.
I am sending you lots of hugs and good luck for your next beta
Thank you all so much for your comments. I went Wednesday and they saw the sac. I'm 3 weeks today. Please continue to pray that all is well for us, as I do for you all.
