Cramping question (prev pg ment)

buttons99 · 03-13-2005, 08:32 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some encouragement here... or just honest answers. I am 13 days past my egg retrieval. I have already taken two pg tests (bad, I know), they both came up positive. However, I'm having AWFUL cramping. It's almost 11 days past my transfer, so it can't be implantation, as it's too late. This literally feels like bad menstrual cramps (which I have an all too long history of)... I feel like I'm about to start my period any minute. My blood test is on Tuesday, which seems like an eternity to wait. When I got pregnant with my son, I actually felt implantation (much different than this) a few days after my transfer, however while I did have some mild cramps, they were gone by this point.
Has anyone else had something similar happen? I'm so afraid that technically I am pregnant, but this sudden cramping in the last day and a half means something is going very wrong....

Waiting sucks.

Thanks for listening!

I had a lot of cramping when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was SURE it was my period, or something worse. I think I was about 5 weeks. Anyway, your uterus is doing a lot of adjusting right now, don't worry too much, sounds like you are definetly pregnant! Congratulations!

buttons, (cute name, BTW!!

TRY not to worry!! You wouldn't be the first gal to say that they felt like AF was right around the corner, cramping, spotting, etc. & then they get a BFP! Your uterus could be growing & expanding from a little one or two implanting, which could cause some cramping feelings. Some people experience this, others, like me, don't feel a thing!

Tuesday seems forever away, but it's right around the corner!! Hang on, you're almost there!!!
