Moderate cramping TWW

Hi all,

I’m so sorry for bothering you all again - I’m spiralling 🤦🏼‍♀️

Third embryo transferred on Tuesday so 6dp5dt. Testing negative. From last night, I’ve started having what I’d consider (im a baby) moderate cramping - down there just feels so heavy and like AF is coming although much worse asi don’t usually suffer from PMS. Lower back pain too. Could little bean have implanted last night?

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling so much with the TWW. I think implantation is most commonly 2-5 days post transfer with obviously some leeway either side for day 5 embryos so that's certainly possible. If this is the case (fingers crossed!!!) it would be a few days before a faint line might be seen, when is your OTD? Home test or blood test? I would try really hard not to test until then and to try and live in the hope zone. Just remember some women have no cramps, no spotting, no symptoms and go on to get their BFP so if symptoms ease up don't worry, the only way to know is to wait for OTD. Thinking of you and sending lots of good thoughts!!!

hi there.
i also tested negative day 6.

I had cramping but really can’t remember what day alas! It was milder than my normal period but mine are horrid, so probably around the level of your average period?!! (But hard to tell ahah)

Either way it was definitely the same type of cramping as a period. I know some ppl say it’s more like pulling/tugging etc and different to their period, but for me it was definitely just the same kind just not as awful! Xx
