cramping

I'm happy to have found this site.  I desperately need someone to talk to.  This is so hard to go through.  1 failed fresh IVF, 3 failed artificial insem. on my 1st frozen IVF.  Used all the rest of the frozen embries for this cycle.  Started cramping yesterday, 9 dpt.  Worse today.  Feels like AF.  Completely devasted.  Made the mistake of testing early on the 1st fresh cycle, which messed me up psychologically.  Swore I wouldn't take hpt. on this cycle.  Waiting for blood test in two days. Just feels like it will never happen.  Can't take much more dissapointment.  Has anyone had this type of cramping and had a positive result??

I just went through my first IVF cycle (transfer last Friday), so I'm still learning.  I was cramping pretty badly, and my RE told me to drink  more clear fluids (water and gatorade) than I usually do, and to take Tylenol.  I don't know if this is helpful to you or not, but it may not be AF cramps.  Just hold on for 2 more days. I wish you all the best

Thanks.  i will try the liquid today.  I just feel like in the real world, noone talks about infertility.  It's very lonely.  Sometimes i sit in the waiting room at the doctor and just wish that some of the woman would just start talking...whose on what cycle and what are they feeling emotionally and physically..  but noone ever says anything.  Cramps not as bad today as yesterday.  It is hard to stay positive.  After so many no's, It feels like it will never happen.  Scheduled for a blood test tomorrow but don't want to go.  Almost like no news is better than bad news.  good luck on your cycle!

I just had my blood test today after my second IVF cycle. Waiting for the phone to ring with the results. I didn't cramp this time but have had some brown fluid on tp. Best of luck to you.

this 2WW is a nightmare.  i am a complete nutcase.  i feel bad for my husband.  he can't win for losing.  :)  the whole time pt i had a soreness right in the area that they put the three embies.  so i thought that was great... the fact that i felt something going on there i thought was a good sign too.  i don't even know what to think anymore.  it all turns so psychological.  i don't want to get my hopes up, but then i don't want to be negative..... i've been going through the whole "why is this happening to us" phase.  does anybody go through that?  i have a not so good friend anymore, who smoked through her whole pregancy.  she complained about everything...rubbed every little kick in my face, knowing what i was going through and said "oh, all you have to do is count your days and do it on the ov. day.  it's that easy..that's what we did"!!  that easy, she said.  how do people like that who couldn't care less and smoke through it, and complain...how come it's people like that that never have any problems...and then the people like us who want it more than anything, and would give a right arm for a baby...we are the ones with the problems.

Good luck crossing.....let's us know how it goes.  i have my fingers crossed for you!
