cramps post ivf and positive pregnancy test

October 07, 2008

I had a 3 day embryo transfer on 9/14 and a positive pregnancy test on 9/26 (92) and 9/29 (302). I have been having cramping ever since the transfer -- it's intermittent and can be on one side or the other or in the middle. I have also been having low back aches. All of this is the same as my period cramps. I also was vomiting by now when I was pregnant before. Should I be worried about an ectopic or miscarriage or is this in the realm of normal? I do not have an ultrasound until next week -- should i call my doctor and do it sooner?

I first would like to say congratulations. It looks like your numbers more than doubled so you may have twins. I would not worry about your symptoms unless you start feeling lightheaded, severe pain, or bleeding. The physician can only check levels at this point, he or she cannot see the location of the pregnancy with the ultrasound until your HCG levels cross 1500.

Hey Steph.......congrats! I think it sounds like the things are you describing are normal preggo symptoms. Hopefully soon you can get in there and have an u/s. can you get another blood test? that may help to easy your mind as well. Take care and keep us posted! Sticky glue!!
