Did anyone have cramps in very early pregnancy with IVF

It's been a while, maybe you just don't remember? Could be both have taken too, so maybe you're stretching more due to twins....?
My first, I had cramping from 4-6 weeks. It was quite painful at first and gradully eased off.
This time not so much cramping, bu tspotting at 4 weeks and bleeding at 5 & 6 weeks. Only ever had one emby transferred though.
Glad to hear your hubby is so great

Thanks ladies your responses have made me feel much better. True it may be that both took. I'm not having spotting just a couple of flecks when i wipe( too much info?). like tiny bits of thread is the best way to describe it. And I think at times the progesterone discharge is sometimes a bit discoloured. I'm trying to stay positive and not go nuts or drive my darling hubby nuts. Think I will feel at ease when off all the drugs and get my scan in couple of weeks. Then I can see the little bub or two.

Congratulations Purplechic! That's great news, and great numbers Glad that you're feeling a bit better about things. DH sounds like a trooper!

As for me, we had one ICSI blasty put back. I had quite strong cramping on and off from a few days before my BT up until about 9 weeks, from memory? Its very disconcerting, I know. Crazy that the same symptom that indicates AF is coming, also indicates that everything is going as it should! I've also had spotting twice, once the day before my BT which was brownish, and a tiny bit a few weeks ago which was brighter red in a *TMI* string of mucous, after exerting myself walking up a big hill. And constipation - what a joy. That doesn't make anything easier, does it? Especially the crampy feeling. I've had it quite a bit so far, just another of those lovely things we get to experience!

I think us IVFers are more prone to stress about all the little things, because we've been through a lot to get to this stage. Good that you've stopped Googling, that's the fast lane to insanity! The first scan is awesome, I burst into tears, I was so relieved. Hope time passes quickly for you until then.

All the best for a H & H nine months How exciting if both stuck?!

Well I have a bit a blood each day since I woke at 2am Friday morning. Hubby Rang Dr went for another BT 3rd one now. HCG rose to 2521 so more than doubled. started at 511 then 1219 now 2521. how much blood is spotting. Not sure if I should be concerned. HCG levels are rising well Dr is happy with the levels. Just doesn't make sense. Trying hard to stay positive. Just don't understand how one can have bleed like this and still be ok. So it's not like the start of a normal period it is more stop start. bit of blood then stop. then might get a bit more later.
