I had my ER today at 8:30 this morning and I'm still feeling really crampy. Is this normal? How long does this last? I guess I'm just being paranoid but I didn't really know what to expect. Any advice?

I havent made it to ER but alot of women have had the same issues after ER. I thinkit is pretty normal. I know Im not that helpful but Im sure someone with experience will get to you with some suggestion/similar issues. Hope you start to get better soon.

How did it go? (egg wise)
It is very normal to feel crampy for days if not longer after. I felt it all 3 times we did ER. It could be gone in a day or two or continue after ET. It will get better though. The first day or two are the worst usually.
Good luck!!

p.s. you can use heat for now, but not after ET. Moist heat is better if you have a moist heating pad. They sell them at the drug store and can be heated in a microwave.

It went well, they got 14 eggs. I'm hoping thats a good number. I'm new to all of this, its my first cycle so thanks so much for the advice.

Mine was awhile ago now, but I know I had cramping, for a couple of days.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!
