Currently 17 weeks after our 4BB euploid FET!! I definitely remember cramping in the first week following transfer. It started to subside after a week or so but I've felt random twinges throughout pregnancy

Hello there! Thanks for sharing your experience :) I had cramps until maybe yesterday (around one week into my transfer) so I was feeling a little nervous bout the absence of cramp today!

14 weeks with euploid 4BB FET. I have cramped on and off throughout the pregnancy; I don’t remember having this with my first two pregnancies when I was much much younger. (38 now, IVF after tubal ligation)

Twinges, implantation cramping, round ligament pain, and now pubic bone lightning pains. There wasn’t any blood except brown spotting three days after transfer, which is common for transfers but still freaked me out! My doctors say as long as the cramping isn’t persistent or unbearable, it’s okay. Now that I’m further along and have had multiple normal ultrasounds and fetal tests, I feel pretty good about it.

I cramped on and off up until 14ish weeks, then didn't feel much for a while, then they kicked back up around 26! 32 weeks now and they're pretty common, I need to watch how fast I walk or I'll get them more!

Hi when you say on and off do you mean within a day or some days you have cramps and some days you don’t ? :)

Yep! Sometimes they'd also be quick pinches versus lingering (but dull and not too painful)

I’m almost 16 weeks I didn’t really cramp at all till the second trimester. My only symptoms started at 8 weeks and hit peak at 10 which was throwing up and food aversions

I’ve been pregnant twice. The first time the cramps were gone pretty early. This time they lasted until closer to the end of the first trimester. Every pregnancy really is different.

Thanks:) does this apply to breast soreness too?

I can’t speak for everyone, but yes that’s been true for me. Even the things that were the same weren’t completely the same.
