Cramping... Question (++HPT mentioned)

bug_a_loo · 05-24-2007, 06:44 PM

Ok guys here's my story...

I'm 10dp5dt. I've taken 8 hpt's and one digital. All are positive. Today I've been cramping on and off all day. Not really bad, but cramping nonetheless. My beta isn't until next Tuesday so I'm not sure what my number will be. I'm sure it will be multiples since I transferred 4 excellent embies. I've been testing positive since 7dp5dt. What to you guys think?? Should I be worried?? Is this normal cramping? I've had no spotting whatsoever.

Hi Dawn! CONGRATULATIONS

! I wouldn't be worried about the cramping if there is not spotting. It's completely normal to cramp in early pg, esp. at the time AF would be coming. My SIL thought she wasn't pg because she was cramping so much, but her dd turns 1 next week

.

Good luck with your beta and let us know how your beta comes back (any chance you can move it up a little?).

Thanks Maura...

It's 3 days before AF would normally arrive so I guess thats it. It is a little different from AF cramping. It's very light, comes and goes. I guess I'm just paranoid!! I tried to move it up but they wanted to wait. By the time I get the beta I will be 15dp5dt!!! Should be good numbers!!

why do they make you wait that long for your beta? usually its 7-8dp5dt or 9-10dp3dt. never heard of first beta 15dp5dt! why dont you ask to go in early? I am sure once they hear you had so many + they will tell you come in.

about the twins-never know, only once you see th u/s , seen such diverse things on this board. but I guess we all hope for twins after we go through all this trouble to get pg!

I know many people have cramping as the first real sign of pg. so as long as you dont bleed should be ok I guess.

I don't know why they make me wait so long. I've called and told them that I've had numerous positives and they still insist that I wait until Tuesday. They normally do the beta at 12dp5dt but because of the holiday they are making me wait. It's driving me crazy!! I took another test this morning (I'm addicted!) and it was positive again. I'm still cramping a little, but like I said it's not really bad. More of a "rolling" cramping if that makes any sense?????

andika · 05-25-2007, 09:00 AM

yes forgot its long weekend, they probably all want to go home early today. too bad you cant get a private lab to do it, like that you would be set for the weekend. wow try to keep busy! otherwise it will be the never ending weekend!

bug_a_loo · 05-25-2007, 09:29 AM

I wish I could get a lab to do it, but I think DH are going to go out town to keep our minds off of it. The one thing that concerns me is... like I said, I've taken MANY tests but they are all different color positives. Some dark, some light. Does this matter? Or is it a line is a line is a line???

andika · 05-25-2007, 09:47 AM

no the color doesnt matter as long as its positive. some tests have less ink in them some more, and your urine will have different concentrations at different times of day, or even same time different day. so + is +, you should be fine! drink a lot-dont get dehydrated-that is the most important!

bug a loo,
"rolling"cramping might be just some abdominal cramps due to something you ate or gas. sometimes its hard for me to tell if its af cramps or if i just have to "you-know-what"

bug_a_loo · 05-29-2007, 06:03 PM

Okay my beta was today. I'm 15dp5dt and my beta was 2,322. No wonder I'm feeling sick to my stomach all day!! I wonder how many are in there??? I'm kind of freaked out because when I got home I went to the potty and I had what I believe to be a little spotting. Sorry if TMI, but it was not really dark and a very far cry from red. I wonder if it could be the progesterone suppositories??? Any input?
