TTC after 35

Tell me about your cramps and BFP! (2ww)

I got a FET last Saturday and I guess this is my 2WW, except I usually get my period on day 11 after and know already earlier that it failed. Anyway, I cramped immediately after, like 30 min after and then a little bit during the first 1-2 days. Now it is back and I'm getting worried. Last month I thought it was all good, I woke up one night with crazy cramps and knew it was all gone (and I tested negative 3 days later). I'm so worried that this is the same story. I tried looking online and everyone says it is normal with light cramping and still possible to get a BFP. I'm on CD 29 but only 10 DPO. I don't usually get pre-period cramps but I have tried for so many months that I don't remember what a normal month feels like :-( Wish me luck.

  • Best wishes for you!  When do you go for your beta? 
    Not that it means much but I have had significant uterine cramping with each pregnancy, I'm sorry I don't remember the dpo... within the first 3 weeks after implantation though.

  • That was me last month, "my boobs are killing me (not a normal PMS symptom for me), but I have some mild cramping; what does that mean?" In my case the answer was: that means you're getting your period, but it doesn't necessarily mean that for you. Cramps can be an early pregnancy symptom, but sadly there is no definitive way to know without POAS. Are you going to test tomorrow?

  • Thanks everyone. I'm on an unmediated cycle so no progesteron. I just spotted ever so lightly but my cramping is pretty constant so I'm leaning towards my period :-( my doctor won't let me test for 14 days after FET so I always just get my period and then test (it not because I know). This is my 9th try. It's making me crazy because I'm spending so much money on it and getting older and older...

  • Thanks everyone, got AF full on last night. Couldn't sleep for three hours in the middle of the night so I was looking up genetic testing of eggs to improve chances, especially at my age. It's very expensive but I'm looking into it. My situation is so frustrating.
