I am 4 wks 2 days pregnant after first IVF. I have had one loss at approx 8 weeks last year. I feel a bit campy but not all of the time. Very randomly.... Feels like menstral cramps. I think this is normal, right? I am going to read into everything!

Re: So happy but also nervous....loss mentioned...
I had the same type of cramping my first few weeks, just a lot of movement and stretching happening in there. I was even having problems sitting up straight or lying on my side because it felt squished. My Dr said it was perfectly normal and fine, especially once we discovered two separate babies.
I know your mind will go crazy with every symptom or lack there of and there is nothing anyone can say to you to help release your worries and stress.
We had two losses, both before 7 weeks, so I just try to take every day as a blessing, especially when my worries overshadow my joy. Fx for a super sticky bean!
