IVF girls

Just wondering...did you have slight cramping/twinges throughout the first tri? My ovaries were very swollen (still at my 8w3d appt) and probably shrinking, but it is driving me crazy. It's not terrible cramping, but twinges here and there. Thanks!!!

Also, when did you stop PIO??? My doc wants me to continue until 10 weeks.

Thanks!!!

Re: IVF girls

Just to reassure you, I did not go through IVF and I had slight cramping and twinges early in the first trimester. There's a lot going on in there! Lots of stretching to make room for baby. I had period-like cramps until week 6 or so, and weird twinges for a while after that. I can't remember how long I had them for, because I just got used to them.

Good luck and hang in there! If your RE says you're fine, you're fine.

I stopped the PIO injections at 12 weeks and those cramps/ twinges are normal. Ur ovaries are shrinking back to normal and ur uterus is stretching daily.
Dont worry.. its all normal.

PS. it took utill i was about 16-17 week preggo for my ovaries to be back to normal.
