Cramping and BFPs....(SAIFW)

So, my beta is tomorrow (IVF#1 and I'll be 11dp5dt), but for the past few days I've had some mild cramping.  I also had mild cramping and twinges on and off starting about 2 days after my transfer.  But, these cramps are starting to feel LESS like twinges/pulling and MORE like AF is imminent.

 I'm going crazy w/ worry - can anyone share some stories of period-like cramping and then still getting a BFP?   I know I should just wait for my beta and try to put it out of my head for now...but I'm impatient! :)

  • I had lots of AF like cramping until about 8 weeks.  I still get it every once in a while now.  That was my only symptom. 

    Good luck!

  • I had cramping with both my BFP and BFN so that's not much help.

    If you want to hear success stories, I would suggest posting on SAIF.

    Good luck!  I hope you get your BFP tomorrow.

  • I definately had AF like cramps around the time AF should have come and up until maybe 5 weeks?Maybe 6 weeks? I was always thinking AF was coming.

    Good Luck!

  • I got my bfp onf riday and beta today confirmed.... I still have cramps that feel like shots in my ovaries!

    Good luck

  • I had AF-type cramping every day for most of the day until I hit 6 weeks. It started right after my IUI. I still get a few pains here and there. It's definitely not a bad sign! GL!!
  • I had cramping right before both of my BFPs, and it continued for several weeks. good luck!

  • The cramping could be your uterus stretching. That happens during the first few weeks of pg :)

    Ditto this exactly!
  • OMG!!!  I was just going to ask this same question tonight too!!!! 

    I got my BFP a few days ago...Blood test confirmined my levels from are at 68, so I am pretty much ku.  Have to wait till tomorrow to confirm to make sure my levels have doubled since.  (I had a trigger shot CD14) 

    Anyways....I have been cramping since like DPO10 and every day since.  I keep thinking AF is right around the corner, so I am glad so many others have experianced this!!!!  I am still cramping, and I guess should expect that for several more weeks!
