IVF 2WW symptoms

mslady919 · February 2012

Hi all, I an new to this board although I frequent TTC after 35 and Infertility board. I am 10dp3dt and I have consistently had mild cramps off and on everyday since day 2. I am scheduled for my first Beta on Monday and I guess I just want to be realistic with myself.

Did any of you experience ongoing cramping. Don't get me wrong it isnt by far bad cramping just feels like AF is on her way. I normally don't have cramping during AF just days preceding. So I don't know if that is what it is or is that normal. I guess what I am ask is what was your experience in your 2WW?

I did have cramping. I thought for sure I was out. Good luck.

I honestly felt like my period could start any day. Good luck!

I totally thought AF was coming (cue unnecessary meltdown) and was absolutely shocked when we got the call with a positive beta. GL!

LOL, meltdown occurred Tuesday evening. Yesterday was a better day I was really optimistic, now today I am borderline meltdown!

Cramps were my first symptom...still have them.

I had terrible cramping. So much that I actually used a tampon because I was sure I was getting AF. They started about a week before my beta and lasted for a few weeks after. GL!

I had some mild cramping that didn't occur everyday. GL on your beta!

I had horrible cramps and they were especially bad in my back. I am 13dp3dt and they aren't as bad but certainly there.

I also had lots of cramping. GL to you!

The day I got my BFP, I went to the bathroom and had the normal, beginning of AF spotting. Then, I had cramping. I was avoiding the bathroom because I couldn't handle seeing that. The RE called and I thought he was going to say sorry charlie. However, he said I was pg. Hope you have a similar experience!

I didn't do IVF, but I did IUI and I had cramping about 2-3 times before I got my BFP at 9 dpo. I had it about at day 3, again at day 5 or 6 and then pretty bad cramping the night before I got my bfp. I even told DH that I was really frusterated because I was pretty sure AF was coming and that meant my LP was back down to 9 days...I had gotten it up to 11.

Honestly, the cramping was the ONLY symptom I had in the 2 WW. The cramping continued after the 2 WW until about week 5.

If I were you, I would go ahead and test.

Heartburn should have been my first clue it worked!

good luck!

None really. I had a few twinges here and there and the day I tested and got a fainter than faint line, I had slightly sore breasts (but I get those every month before my period too).

I had notable cramping as well..maybe 3 or 4 days after my 5-day transfer.

I had a ton of cramping during the IVF 2WW.

Most of it was b/c my ovaries were huge and since I was gassy, that made my ovaries cramp even more. Still crampy and gassy (been a week since beta#1/BFP) but not as bad.

Cramps that made me think AF was coming were the ones I get behind my knees. I have bad knees and those cramps are always the worst ones during AF. No idea why they showed up during the 2WW. And at the end of the 2WW, too.

I agree that heartburn should have clued me in, but I had that during IVF meds, so I didn't want to get my hopes up.

Good luck and FX for you!
