Kinda nervous 1st US Cramps spotting

obizyanka

Hey ladies. So we did an FET of 2 embies @5 days on the 16th of August. In theory that makes me about 5 weeks pregnant. Had blood confirmed BPF x2 increasing numbers. Tomorrow I get my 1st US to see how many of the embies took and if they implanted in the right place. Well basically since the transfer I have been having spotting of dark brown off and on (they said to expect that for a few days, it was. Not an easy transfer) and cramping off and on. Today cramping seems more. Concerned but I know there is nothing I can do about it at the same time. Feeling like I don't know how to feel haha. Also prepared to get some not so good news.....but hoping for the best. I'll keep you posted... Anyone have similar thoughts/ feelings/ stories to share?

Hi! I think we all fear the next test or the next news we will receive. It's part of the experience! I'm 6weeks tomorrow and I feel ya! I have cramping on and off. I'd call it mild. Most people spot, I never did until I went of my estrogen patches. Then I freaked the hell out. But it's ok, had my second beta yesterday and my number was great! My u/s is a week away and I'm nervous/excited! Because I've worried way too much every step of this journey, and everything has been going good, I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can and not worry. Easier said right!? Not sure if that ever goes away. It's definitely unlike anything I've ever experienced. I still have a hard time believing it's all real. I'm hoping that everything is looking great at my u/s. Can't wait to see if if twins! So, keep your chin up! And hope for the best (first) but be prepared for bad news (second) (see what I did there? lol). Good luck to you and I will keep an eye out for an update!

Absolutely I totally agree. Best of luck to you too. Thank you for the words of support.

Dark brown spotting=old blood. I hear bright red is more of a concern. Cramping can be normal.
Dealing with infertility for a long time I am always hyper sensitive to all my sensations and overthinking them. I think it's normal. Try to relax and think positive.
Fx that we get good news from u tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for you! I'm super jealous you get such an early ultrasound. I'm 5 weeks too, and won't get my US until I'm 7 weeks (on the 15th)...ugh, I can't wait! I'm so worried about getting excited and then things not going right. At the same time, I try to remember that I DID get pregnant, so after 2 years if trying, that's good news in and of itself. Let us know how it goes!

Today I learned that I'm 5w and 2 days. One of two embryos implanted. Happy and sad. Also kind of relieved that it's only 1. Now trying to stay positive till I can hear a heart beat next week! I got A due date today of 5/3/16. The NP there said cramping is normal and not to worry abt dark brown spotting ... Thanks for all of your thoughts and positive energy!

We have the same due date I hope all goes well is you hear a sweet little heart beat next week!

Great news @obizyanka I am also jealous because my ultrasound is not until the 21st. I will be 5w tomorrow. I can't wait to see if 1 or 2 implanted.
