Crinone can also make you slightly bloated and may have associated cramping pain.
Many of the symptoms of Crinone are actually the symptoms of pregnancy, so its hard to know whether you are actually pregnant or not until after your 2WW.

I have been getting these stabbing sharp pains on my left side they almost make me buckle. The dr said it is normal because i made so many eggs with this last ivf cycle that my overies are still rather large. I feel great otherwise no morning sickness or spotting just a little tired. Has this happend to anyone?? I still take my crinone 2x a day.

I can tell you that two weeks makes a huge difference.  We had to go to a fertility specialist to conceive and had ultrasounds every two weeks.  on week 5 all you saw was a dot.  that was it.  then on week 7 it was much bigger and you could see almost a disk like form with a beating heart in the middle.  we go back next friday the 12th for another one and should be able to see alot more.  I cant wait.

I hope all goes well for you...if you are really early on the u/s, they won't see much..even a week or two makes a huge difference!  I'll keep you in my prayers!

I had my first appt on 10-21...just had my first u/ on 11-1...go back on 11-8 for my second one. They didn't see much on the first one (which they said was because I was so early), that's why I have to go back for the second. Please say a little prayer for me & keep your fingers crossed!

Hey everyone!!!! Hows everybody feeling! I saw some good reports on u/s and congrats!!!!!
Me I had my girst appt on Tuesday and it was just blood and vag exam but it's just great to hear everything looks good and to see that your pregnant on paper!!! I have an ultra sound on the 29th! Yeaaaa!!!

[angela418]

Congrats & welcome to the forum!  When's your first appointment?  Keep us posted with your progress! :-)

[sgt6852wife]

Hi guys! My name is Kelsey...this is my first baby and I'm due 6-22-11!!! We are very excited, blessed and grateful!!! Lots of luck to everyone!!! :)

It seems we are close on our schedules. I go in on Tuesday and then I'm released as well. Then my first OB appt is the 17th.  Talking with my nurse yesterday she said that the only reason we are able to go every two weeks is because we are with a specialist. If it were "natural" then our first appt wouldnt have been until about 11 weeks and then not for a month or so after that. I couldn't imagine doing it that way. I hope because we were with a specialist first that the every two week thing keeps up at least for a little while. But I guess I wont know until I go in for the first appt.

Congrats on the no spotting thing! That is wonderful news!

[Stephanie12210]

so, its been three days and finally no spotting.  i am afraid this is a three day fluke.  i have to remain positive that it will stay away.  our next appointment is on the 12th and then we get released from our fertility specialist and do to my normal gynecologist.  our first appointment there is on the 19th.  do you know if they will do an ultrasound every time and how often?  i have been getting them every two weeks and really like to see how the baby grows.  i don't want to have to wait a whole month for one.

[Stephanie12210]

The doctor said that the spotting for me is from an irritated lining and it will annoy me.  The suppositories contribute to this irritation.  I know what you mean, i feel like next Friday the 12th is forever away.  I have had very little spotting today.   This is a positive.  I have to continue to look at the positives.  Good luck and let me know how next Tuesday goes.

[Verysoon]

Thats amazing news! SO happy for you and your bean!
I pray that I am measuring exact when I go back next Tuesday....which seems so far away! They told me that I was at a 15% chance of m/c but I just prayed that away.  So when I go back next week I expect to hear that I'm totally clear of that chance (my positive thinking).  I agree that you should continue to take it easy. My spotting finally went away, and I hope that it's done now. But since I'm still on the meds I guess it is still possible to see it again.

[Stephanie12210]

ok, so the ultrasound went great.  baby measures at exactly 7 weeks and has a strong heartbeat.  i have decreased my chances of miscarriage to 4% which is was 34% two weeks ago.  the only problem now is im continuing to spot.  i have an irritated lining that continues to bleed and believe me, it is irritating.  i get so panicked every time i see it.  i am told not to worry and take it easy and that there is not much you can do in early pregnancy.  i am so sick of that answer.  next week the baby will be called kidney bean.

Thank u! Congrats to you too!

[Destani214]

what a cute idea!!! I'm sure everything will be fine for you!
jenkay-we are so close in due dates mine is the 23 of june! your 5th and final my 3rd and final! lol
tata- congrats girl!!!!!

[Stephanie12210]

Yes, I am still doing the vaginal suppositories twice a day. That is also what the doctor said it most likely was and since the cervix is very sensitive, it can bleed quite a bit and have nothing to do with the pregnancy.  We go back Friday for another ultrasound (at 7 weeks) and I pray that everything is going to be okay.  It should be almost the size of a blueberry by now.  We have changed its name from poppy seed to sesame seed, to lentil, to blueberry all depending on what week we are.  I wonder what we will call it next week?

[tata6684]

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum.  I just found out I am pregnant October 21. I noticed I had a very light bleeding for 2 days and my cyle never came full flow. So I decided to test . It was completely unexpected, as we weren't going to start trying again this soon. I had a miscarriage in April. Went for my 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks to learn that the baby never developed. I started spotting 1 week after I found out I was pregnant. That was my first pregnancy.  We are super excited to be prego again naturally. My 1st pregnancy I was on femara/clomid. I keep trying to stay positive that this baby will develop. I hope the best for all of our June babies!

[Verysoon]

Are you taking any meds vaginally?  I have had a few spotting eposides but I chaulked it up to the progestrone that I have to do 3 times a day (2 times now).  I'm not sure what else it could be but I agree that you should stay off your feet. Take it very easy. I measured 6w2ds today but they said that I am actually 6w6d.

[Stephanie12210]

So we will be 7 weeks on Friday and we have another ultrasound.  this last weekend was bad.  i started bleeding bright red on friday night, then it stopped immediately.  I got off my feet and spotted again on saturday morning.  i called the doctor and they said to stay off my feet and to keep her posted if it gets worse.  the spotting has since then stopped and i have resumed work.  so far, so good.  has anyone experienced this?

[jenkaye21]

Soooo happy to be a part of this group! I am expecting my 5th and (final) around June 21.  I am 6 weeks today but just found out because I had a light "period" which caused me to think I was not pregnant.  Have also had some spotting off and on since then, so am a little nervous.... Still shocked last night to get a BFP!!  

My other big concern is how close this baby will be to #4- He will be 2 in July.  My other kids were all 3- 3.5 years apart.  Aaaghh!!


So sorry to read about the mamas who've lost their babies.... Don't give up hope, your miracle will come!!

[Destani214]
