    Cramping

    Hi guys, I have just found out that i'am 4weeks and 2 days pregnant and have just gone through ivf ICSI. I have felt quite strong cramps in my belly but then it goes away like in a couple of minutes. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? oh by the way I'm still on the crinone as well.

    i have not been through the ivf and stuff but i was on clomid for 5 months to get this we one.
    I know i had alot of cramping in the opening weeks so to speak alot turned out to be gas :P but i would say if you are conserned then ring doc especially if you start to bleed,i know it not a nice thought but that is when you do need to call a medical professional.
    You will be fine hun lots of sticky dust

    I have never gone through IVF but could it be cramping from implantation maybe? Or would it be when you would normally get AF and your body is still adjusting to the pregnancy. Probably not a lot of help but lots of sticky vibes being sent in your direction.

    Bubbles, CONGRATULATIONS

    I had a LOT of cramping with crinone - one of the side effects on the sheet is abdominal cramping. After 7 weeks I still get cramping, although it is not as common as it used to be - but there are nights where I need to take a panadol before going to bed, so I can sleep peacefully.

    Hi bubbles - i have been getting cramping and pains since the beginning. I went to the dr about it as i was still getting it and he checked me over and said that it is round ligament stretching and should settle down by the 14th week. apparently it is all the stretching that the muscles and ligaments do to accommodate your growing uterus and bub.

    have just spoken to nurse and she said its very normal because of the uterus expanding.

    Congratulations and good luck with the pregnancy.

    I have not been through IVF however I do get little cramps that are not particularly hurtful just annoying, and last a couple of minutes, so to me it seems pretty normal.

    Good Luck and Congratulations again
