Lightening Crotch

in Pregnant after IF

Has anyone else experienced "lightening" type vaginal pains? It is a very brief and sudden pain that only lasts for a split second but happens every 10 seconds or so over a period of a few minutes and then stops. This has been happening periodically throughout the day and I am not sure what it is. I just had an exam yesterday to check for infection, but everything came back fine. I think with the incompetent cervix that I am a little extra freaked out. TIA!!

BTW...I just realized how funny the title of this post sounds Big Smile I should change my screen name!! Haha!!

    If you google lightning crotch, you'll see that it is a real thing, exactly as you describe. Not to worry!

    I started getting it about 2 weeks ago and honestly, it freaked me out. It started making me nervous about my cervix, even though I know people talk about lightning crotch all the time. I thought maybe it was a little early on to be experiencing it. A couple weeks later, everyone is still in there, so now I am feeling more comfortable with it, but I agree - it is unsettling at first!
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!
