I know this question has been up here before but I can't find it, so I'll ask again :)

During your 2ww did you have cramping 1/2 way thru it...and if so was it sometimes on one side or the other, and did you end up with a BFP or BFN. I know everyone is different with their symptoms...but one minute I feel pressure like cramping in my lower belly, and then the next I feel cramping on my right side (but that was the side with 3 follies)

Thanks in advanced ladies! AND BABY DUST TO YOU ALL!

On my first two IUI's, I didn't have any cramping, but the three after that, I did....exactly where you are having the cramping, and with those, I had my BFP each time. I hope this is it for you!! When do you test?

I had it big time after my first IUI during my 2ww.. i thought for sure I Was pregnant, but it was BFN.
Then the second IUI I had no cramps, no nothing and it was a BFN.
I know how hard it is, but try to wait it out... dont stress your body out too much. GOOD LUCK

I had cramping on and off when I got my BFP. If felt kinda like pressure w/ cramps. I think the cramps were not as painful as normal AF cramps. I noticed it like 4 days after IUI and then again towards the end of the cycle. The weird thing it I felt ovaluating pains on the side where my eggs weren't that month! My dr. says your brain can confuse the sides though. Really and truly, I think there's little or no difference in symptoms btw months w/ BFP and BFNs. Good luck!

I can test next Wed....but probably won't till Friday - LOL :) I'm a wimp and I don't usually get my AF till CD31 which is Friday so that's why I'll wait.

Thanks girlies, I'm just saying lots and lots of prayers :)

I had major cramping after my IUI. I thought my AF was coming a week or so early. I was pregnant.

I hope your cramping is related to implantation! Hold off to test! My cramping started 6dpo and AF ended up coming 9dpo. Rats! Good luck to you and I am thinking sticky thoughts for you!

I have cramping every single time I'm in the 2ww. Always ended up w/a BFN. But, the one time I was actually pregnant (before we even officially started w/meds, etc) I felt like I was going to get my period any day b/c my cramps were so obvious. Had no idea I was preg. I think it's so cruel that our bodies do this to us! I hope your cramps are for a good reason - like a BFP!!! Good luck!

deleted_user 01/28/2009

I just knew AF was coming, I had exact pains and my whole body felt the way it would with AF coming, but i also had alot of clear like discharge that I've never had befor, and I was pregnant!!! Good luck to you girl, I hOpe you get your BFP!!!

deleted_user 01/28/2009

I am in that crampy boat with you! My are similar to what you're describing too. Hope we both get BFPs

During my 2ww, i noticed some "pinching" or cramping on my right side a few days after transfer (we did IVF). Then I felt nothing until 3 days prior to my pregnancy test. That day, i felt cramps in my lower ab along with lower back pain. I was convinced i wasn't pregnant and that AF was on it's nasty way. Three days later i had my blood test and I am now 9 1/2 weeks pregnant! Good luck to you. The 2 week wait is always the hardest.

deleted_user 01/28/2009

I've had cramping like you described both with a BFN and BFP. I have come to the conclusion that there is not a single pregnancy symptom that can not be something else. I feel like I've had it all. I truly hope yours will be a BFP! Good Luck!

I had my transfer yesterday morning and I woke up this morning with cramps, mostly on my righ side... and it's more of a heavy feeling than an normal cramp.
Not sure what that means... haha!
