is cramping normal after a FET?

Hello everyone! I'm 4 days into my 2ww and I am already getting so anxious! I have done a fresh cycle aug 2009 which did not work and a FET in oct 2009 that did work. We have a beautiful little boy from that one. I had some cramping that time, but it seems like this time it is worse. is this a good sign or a bad one? we transfered 2 grade B blastocysts that were graded and A by the time they were transfered. not really sure what that means either, but i guess they improved! the doctor was very opptomistic because they were excellent embryos and because I have had children before. I also have a 4 yr old which I got preggers with while on birth control! crazy how that works huh! Anyways just wanted to know if there is anyone else out there who is in their 2ww or has experienced any cramping or anything...any comments would be great! thanks!

Hi!
It is quite common and normal to have cramping.  Whether it is a sign of good luck or not is anyone's guess.  I hope so in your case!

Hi I had my ET on 11thjuly and the 2ww it's torture I went on the 22july and got a BFP all the 2ww I had backache and period pains I'm still getting them iv been in pain most of the night I just hope it passes, I go for a scan on the 8th august, my HCG was 156 I don't know what that means the hospital dais they will explain everything to me I was thinking twins? But I don't know. So don't worry I think from other people's threads and constantly researching it's really common to have cramps.

Congrats and please keep me in the loop too! hearing positive stories really lightens my heart and makes me more hopeful that this will work again for me as well. Thanks for sharing and I really hope my cramping is because of the same reasons! mine feels like period pains as well and I'm so fearful everytime I go to the bathroom that I'm going to see blood from my period...I know that sounds gross, but maybe you can relate! I hate the waiting, but only one more week and then I go in for my beta test! hope it is a BFP :) good luck with your pregnancy and  keep me updated!
