In the ER with cramping - Update (kinda)

[fela]

Well this sucks. I had been having some mild cramping on and off all day, and then this afternoon out of nowhere I was having severe cramping and pain. Like I could barely breathe, my hands went numb, I was sweating bullets. After about 30 minutes I had my mom call 911 (DH was picking up DS from daycare) and an ambulance came.

Now, about 2 hours later I feel almost completely fine. Once the pain started to subside it went away pretty quickly and now I just have mild cramps again. So I feel pretty stupid.

They’re doing some lab work and will do an ultrasound though I’m sure it’s way too early to see anything.

Any good thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks for the good thoughts, I really appreciate it! All labs came back normal and they have no idea what caused the pain. They couldn’t see much on the US, just a sac but said it’s too early to see anything else. Still no bleeding so hopefully it didn’t affect the pregnancy. I have another US scheduled for 1/4 so I will be in limbo until then I guess.

Oh no! You had your transfer on 12/2?

I’ll send good thoughts your way.

Yep, 12/2. My first HCG levels were a little low but I had them checked again on Tuesday and Thursday and they were looking good. I am really really hoping this was a cyst that burst or something.

Thanks for the good thoughts 😊

Came in here to check on you. No ultrasound or bloodwork yet?

Sending good thoughts. Hope everything is ok.

Glad your labs are good! Maybe you ate something gross?

Hope everything is ok! I had a similar experience once except it was menstrual cramps right before my period started (like the cramps came an hour before my period, which I wasn't expecting since I was like 18, irregular and not on birth control). The cramps/abdominal pain was so bad my mom thought it was appendicitis and took me to the ER. Of course my period started as soon as I got there and then the pain quickly subsided. The only thing they found was my blood potassium level was low so they gave me a giant pill for that. My hands/forearms going numb (tingling and curling up involuntarily into kinda claw shapes) was from hyperventilating from the pain (I have had that happen a few other times now, when I'm in sever pain, but it's less scary now that I know what caused it).
