Cramps a good sign?

I had a 5AA hatching blastocyst transferred last Monday and the TWW is driving me insane.

I have quite a few cramps today, more emotional, really tired and not sleeping great.

Are these good signs, just meds or sign of my period coming?

OTD isn't until Sunday but debating testing tomorrow/Wednesday as I'm just so fed up of the not knowing.

I had cramps on my successful FET. Felt like af was coming. It could be good, could be nothing (as I'm sure you know). Impossible not to read into everything though!

So your 7dp5dt? Some people get positives now, but word of warning: I did't get a positive until late evening 8dp5dt and it was super faint. I'm sure there must be people even later, so beware if you test tomorrow it might not be accurate.

Best of luck! 🤞

@Holskey I caved and tested tonight and I got a positive result. To me it's quite a strong line but I've never had a positive before. I know it's early days but I'm so happy. Still just a bit worried about the cramps

That's a great line @jodesxx! Congratulations!!!
Try not to worry about the cramps, they seem to be quite normal - I've had them since almost right after ET and right through untuil now (just over 5w) but tests seem to be progressing so should be fine :)

@jodesxx congratulations!

Amazing! Congratulations! 🎉

Like I said, I had cramps and they made me very nervous. No harm ever came of them though, totally normal.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy 9 months! Smile

Congratulations! Cramps are normal, just your body stretching. I'm 8 weeks and they're still going strong.

Congratulations! I'm 6 weeks today from a fresh transfer and I'm still getting the feeling a period is coming and the odd cramp. It's very unnerving but I've read it's actually really common in early pregnancy. Hope you have a heathy 9 months!

Thank you all. It's reassuring that others had cramps - hope they ease soon!

I did another two, one digital and they have both showed up positive so fingers crossed all goes well!
