Cramping

kristylang

Hello ladies. A week ago today I had my 1 miracle embryo transferred. I felt good all week with little cramping but nothing major. This morning I woke up to horrible cramps similar to cramps on day two of my period. Should I be worried?

I see my RE on Friday for our pregnancy test! FX we get our BFP that we have been hoping and praying for. Thanks ladies for the advise.

Congrats on being PUPO

AF or period symptoms can be very similar to pregnancy symptoms, and that is frustrating.

Since you are not bleeding hopefully this is a sign of positive things for you

Will you POAS before beta?

kristylang

What is PUPO?

I will probably not POAS just because I don't want to get a false reading. I can wait until Friday for the results. Definitely keeping busy this week. I read that pregnancy and period symptoms are similar, so I am just hoping this isn't period symptoms. I don't get cramps until day two of my period and with doing acupuncture my cramps haven't been bad like they were today. I am staying hopeful!!!

Pregnant until proven otherwise (PUPO).  I've had some cramping with all of my BFPs.  Good luck!

kristylang

Thanks!!! FX!!!!

I had cramping with both of my BFPs too FX for you!!

kristylang

@1983Lindsey2: gosh I truly hope that is the case. I would be over the top ecstatic. My beta is on Friday and today I have had a bad itch to POAS. Thoughts on this?!?!? I had a day two embryo transfer for IVF and we had 1 miracle embryo!!!!

I also had cramping for both of my bfps. I tested two days before beta both times as well so I would test today if I were you.

kristylang

@mnj05 Can you test at night though or should I do it in the morning?

mnj05

With my first I started with morning, but with my second I tested in the middle of the afternoon. Some people turn sticks darker in the evenings and some in the morning. It's really up to you how you want to do it.

kristylang

@mnj05 thank you so much!!! Ahhhh I'm so nervous. FX!!!

mnj05

Hope you come back with good news! It's very nerve-wracking but know you have support here either way.

kristylang

Not what I wanted to see. :_(

mnj05

Oh no, I'm so sorry.

kristylang

Trying to keep my hopes up until Friday when have a beta. Friend said meds could mess with pregnancy test so holding onto that.

Hope that you get a good result tomorrow.  BFN's are never fun to see and are always hard.  Hugs!

kristylang

It's official got work from our nurse and my test came back BFN!!!! Definitely depressed but trying to stay positive. We are very lucky that my insurance covers up to four IVF cycles and we have already paid our out of pocket, so this round we will only have to pay for meds. I know many people have to pay for the entire IVF cycle, so we have to look on the bright side that we get to try this again. I wish you all nothing but the best in this crazy emotional roller coaster.

mnj05

I'm sorry it wasn't better news. That's awesome you get that insurance coverage and can go another round. Good luck to you!

kristylang

Thank you mnj05! We are very blessed that I have great insurance. Thanks for the message.

@kristylang you and I are on the same boat. Got my BFN on Thursday, I was and still am heart broken but we all have to be reminded of what blessings we do have now!
For example being able to move forward and proceed with another try. I start BCP tomorrow to have FET next month.
Everything crossed, stay optimistic and pray hard that we all get that BFP soon!!!

kristylang

@PrayingMom2Be I am truly sorry that you didn't get the results you wanted. Giving you an internet hug! You are totally right though, we have to look at the big picture and that's our lives and be thankful for what we have already.

I wish you the best of luck with you FET and will pray for you! Keep me updated.
