The Not-So-Sexy Infertility Adventures of a Girl in the Big Apple

Arrgh

Immediately after I posted yesterday I noticed that my cramps started dissipating.   They were intermittent the rest of the day and night, and this morning I am feeling them only once in a while and much less strongly.  I am trying not to freak out about this, but I'm not going to lie - I'm worried, really worried.  This is very typical of what has happened to me in the past.  Strong cramps for the first few days, then they kind of go away, then they come back but the second set turn out to be just period cramps.

I know there's nothing I can do about it, and I should just try to stay positive.  But all of the sudden it's become very hard to do that.  Please, oh please, let this work.

  3. There is absolutely no way to know for sure. I've heard so many people say they thought they were 100% out the month it actually worked. Maybe the embies are just quietly getting settled. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

  4. I only had cramps the first few days of transfer and then they went away. Don't give cramps too much stock either way! I know it's hard, but hang in there!

  6. I had cramps for a day or 2 and then nothing until after the Beta. I thought it was a bad sign too, but I was wrong! I know it is impossible to stay completely sane during this 9 day wait, so just try to hang in there.

  7. Every pregnancy is different...even for the same woman. I know it's hard not to, but don't read too much into the 2ww symptoms. We are thinking of you!

  8. Fingers still crossed for you. Like others have said, every woman/pregnancy/2WW is different. FWIW, with my son, I had cramps that went away in the 2WW.
