PIO & Cramping

I had an FET on Friday. Today I had severe cramping for about 10-15 mins. It was so bad I had tears coming to my eyes and then it was gone. 20 mins. prior to the cramping my co-worker gave me my PIO injection(DH is out of town). I think she may have hit a vein b/c there was a bit of blood in the syringe. Would that have caused the cramping? I know that it could mean implanting, but I didn't know if cramping was one if the side effects of PIO.

I have been bleeding during my PIO injections for the past week or so. So today I called my RE and asked she said that I might have possibly hit a nerve but its been bleeding each time I do the injections. I have not had any bad cramping from the injections so it might have been something else!!! Maybe you should call your RE and ask!

I have a little bit of blood sometime at the injection site, but this was the first time it was in the syringe. I will call tomorrow. I swear that DS'ers know more than the doctors, so I thought I would try you girls first! Thank you!

I haven't had any "major" cramping after the PIO, I am crampy all the time though. I have never had blood in the syringe either, did she pull back and get air or blood? Let us know what the RE says.

Ow! PIO just plain hurts. There is no fun in it. My hiney is a lovely lady lump. Not lumps, mind you, but one big ole swollen slab. LOL!

It does sound like your co-worker hit a vein, but def. call your RE and ask about it. I'm sure it's fine. It'll probably bruise and your RE may advise injecting on the same side (not the side that drew blood) for a couple nights to give that cheek extra time to heal. Let us know!

I am sorry, but unfortunely I can't help you about that. I didn't have any PIO injections. I had to use pessaries and crinone gel and take lots of tablets. I hope maybe the cramping is a good sign and I hope that you are ok. Don't be scared to call your RE. I always felt like I was pestering mine, but that's what they are there for so don't worry about that. I hope that your mind will be put at ease soon. I hate to think of you being worried, stressed and upset. I am here if you if need me. Try to stay positive, I am sure everything is normal. Don't forget that everyone reacts differently to the medication so it doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong. You are in my thoughts xxx

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
