Success after IF

Did progesterone cause weird cramps?

I have my 5 day transfer on Tuesday but I already have weird cramps (like AF but different)....Did anyone else have this?  Can it be from the progesterone?

Re: Did progesterone cause weird cramps?

  • I pretty much have found Progesterone, Period, and Pregnancy symptoms to all be similar.  Sucks, doesn't it?!  ;-)

    And I'm sorry you're having cramps - hopefully they're good cramps!  ;-)

  • I had cramping since the day after the transfer, stopped maybe 4 days later then started back up again 3 days before my BFO.  I'm now pregnant I found out on Friday.  Mine too were like AF but different.  I can't describe it either.  I didn't read too much into it because I kept thinking it's progesterone (and still could be).  And... I still have the same cramps.

  • I had cramping pretty consistently after the ER and ET.  I was worried at my 7d labs, and they told me cramping is normal.  Then after my BFP they told me that the uterus begins to expand as soon as implantation occurs.  So while it could be the progesterone, here's to hoping it's a sign of a BFP!!
