1st IUI and Crinone

[cm517]

Hi Ladies,

I recently started fertility treatment and had my first IUI on 2/13. The doctor also has me on Crinone 8% gel which he told me will delay the onset of AF. Since the IUI I have noticed a lot of different cramping type, pinching, poking pains in my lower abdomen, but never AF type cramps. If I was not on Crinone, AF would be due at the end of this week and that is when I have my blood test scheduled to check for pregnancy. This morning I started having AF type cramps. Has anyone got AF while on Crinone? Has anyone experience this same timeline of symptoms?

I'm new to this site ladies, new to forums in general really and new to treatment. I don't know if I've posed the thread correctly, but would really appreciate any insight anyone might have on this. It is so hard not to freak yourself out with every little twinge you feel. I appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you.
