I had my period on October 1, and i have been cramping really badly since day 1. heating pad and pain relievers are not helping. The pain is the worst when laying down or sitting down. I am hunched over my computer desk, while trying to finish my work. it is the worst pain I have ever experienced. for the past 2 years I have not had any period pain but this is 10 on the range of 1-10, 10 being the worst. has anybody experience this. My period are light.

    Yes my period after IVF was the most pain I've been in second to when I had a ruptured follicle. :( I'm sorry you are dealing with this. IF is sooo unfair in so many ways.

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry you are in pain the progesterone and estrace will cause bad cramps after an ivf cycle. Do you have any pain meds left over from your er? That might help. Feel better

    I took 800 of ibuprofen. For me, it was always rough after IVF or an IUI. It's all those meds to build your lining. But...are you calling it a 10 on the period pain chart or a 10 on all the pain ever? Either way, I think a call to your clinic is in order.
    Me: 34 | He: 40
