Thanks all does look like there are alot of us on the same timeframe. Unfortunately I think I may have just lost out, my cramps/pains have stopped now but only after I had passed a large clot and am now bleeding heavily with smaller clots interspersed, passed the large clot on Saturday pain got more frequent and intense hours before. Am trying to think positive, if I have miscarried then at least shows can get pregnant, is that a crazy thought! Told myself wouldn't keep analysing everything but can't help it. My DP is really worried about me so keeping my thoughts to myself now he has enough on his plate with work at the moment.
Have a house full of visitors from the 8th Jan to the 2nd Feb so we're not gonna get much chance TTC so maybe a good thing, give my body a chance to recoup. Any thoughts ladies, it's so nice to talk to ladies who are all experiencing and thinking along the same lines.

Thanks andrea! and smuckers, i know what you mean..totally changed. I actually always was a 28 dayer to the dot. I still was the first two months after tr now I have been a set 24 dayer. I think the Doctor recommends you go through a cycle before trying to conceive, so I dont know if you did that or not, but I have heard of other ladies on here who have...... o and i tested this morning..tooo early BFN
I am wishing you the very best on a BFP. I just wanted to add that with this pregnancy (baby #5-all with my husband) I had BAD cramping from about 5 DPO until about 10 weeks.
I knew I ovulated and really knew I was pregnant. One of the best signs was that I had so much cramping well before AF was due. I didn't spot, but I never have with any of mine.
I just wanted you all to know that can (and was for me) a very healthy symptom! There is so much work that must be done in there, and each step is a miracle in of itself!

yeah, i am going to try and hold out till wednesday. =( I am just so anxious. I have read that you can spot and cramp both during implantation. I know that I am prob way overanalyzing every thing. But today there is no cramping so far. Kinda strange who knows. Just have to wait and see and hope hope hope. Sounds like we have several women on close to the same cycle as me. I am a reg 28 dayer. lol! So predictable. We got lucky and it was time to TTC oh about five days after surgery. So I am hoping we didn't go for it to fast. Just have to wait and see. Thankfully I have both tubes and decent lengths at 5.5&4.5. I am just really curious if my fertility will return like it was before. I didnt even have to think about getting preg I was. DH is 24 and I am 29. Not much to say but Friday needs to be getting here or I need to find something to entertain myself till then. I do go back to work Monday though so that should help. Thanks girls for listening to me ramble. I just really dont think anyone other then you girls understand my situation. I do not think even DH realizes how much this has changed me. Does anyone else feel that way? Lorrie

good luck ladies! I too am supposed to start AF 1-8-09! Im 6 months post TR and still every cramp feels like implantaion etc>>>> Its all very exciting. I only have one tube also at 2.0 cm, but am very hopeful. I try to wait as long as I can stand it to test, but usually end up starting to test way before anything could possibly show up! Its kind of a bummer to see a negative, but its also very exciting watching for a positive. Fran is right!! Just remember even though the box says 5 days sooner, the statistics are petty low until i think 2 days before missed period..... GOOD LUCK to you all, I will be thinking of you on the 8th 9th

As am still relatively new to this forum I am a little ignorant with the abbreviations you are all using, can you enlighten me please. What does AF, TTD, BFP stand for have been guessing as to the context they have been used in

Just to ease your concerns, most pains related to ectopic do not occur until 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, which is about a week or more after AF would be due. So if you are still waiting for AF and having cramps or pains, it is probably just part of the healing process and normal during the 2WW. I am 9 months post TR and still notice every cramp and twinge, especially during the 2WW. It could be implantaton related, or it could just be normal nerve discomfort related to the surgery. Remember your tubes were cut and sewn back together, so alittle pain is normal, especially when your uterus contracts according to hormone schedules, not to mention the effects of the hormones themselves - bloating from fluid retention, higher body temperature, tender breasts, nausea, etc. I hope you all get your BFPs soon! Take care!
I didn't know that you can experience cramp/pain on implantation. I had my TR done 12-05-08 had my period 12-08 early, started TTC week later, have been getting sharp pains on my LHS (my only ovary/tube) for the last week on and off. Due on 01-06-09 but had spotting yeasterday and today so am assuming will be starting anytime
I know it's still early days but have always been impatient and at 40 hope it doesn't take too long if we are blessed. Am trying not to keep thinking about it but can't help it every little ache or pain I analyse. Suppose am worried about an ectpoic as if that happens my chances are over with only 1 tube. Am in Switzerland at the moment as my partner and 2 of his kids are skiing, I couldn't as still got a week to go before can exercise. Am looking forward to getting home to Dubai just in case there are any problems am worried about the sharp pains, could it be sign of ectopic or just onset of period. Can anyone tell me what the symptoms are like of ectopic?

hi ladies, i am the same boat just about all of you all are in. Had my TR on 12/4/08. Did not TTD until the week of Christmas. So af is due 1/12, so yes i am waiting to test, but not before af is due. i get some cramping from time to time, but i have been very tired all week so i will just let things take it's course and let you all know what happens.

smuckers, i believe that it's absolutely best to wait. I had my tr 12-03-08 bfp 12-28-08. had doc appt 30th confirmed bfp 1st hcg levels 15 second draw was today. I started bleeding heavily and cramping today. last time this happened to me it was mc. if i would have waited to test i would have saved myself the heartache i would have just thought that my period was a little late. i wish that i would have let my body heal alot longer before i ttc. best wishes to you everyone is different this is just my story.

Good Question Lorrie, I wanted to know the same thing. I had my TR on 12/26/08 and AF started on 12/28/08. My DH and I will start TTC asap, but I wasn't sure if I should wait until the end of January / beginning of Feb to test.
Lorrie - I think I may have you beat on "being impatient"....my DH and I haven't even started BD'ing yet, and I wanted to buy a pregnancy test yesterday.
