Progesterone

JLK - February 1

I had my second IVF transfer last Friday (after several unsuccessful medicated IUI attempts and one fresh IVF attempt) and have been taking 1cc of progesterone daily. In the past I have only gotten my period once I stopped taking the shots. My question is whether the cramping that I have been feeling the past few days is a sign of forthcoming menstruation? If cramps are caused by the body shedding the uterine lining and my uterine lining is not shed until after I stop taking the progesterone, can I assume that the cramps I feel are linked to something else - i.e., implantation, expanding uterus, etc.? My progesterone level as of yesterday was 38. Thanks in advance.

There are no symptoms of implantation or early growth of the pregnancy. If you had a fresh embryo transfer, your symptoms may be from your ovaries after stimulation and retrieval.
Good luck.
