Hi Ladies,

I wanted to ask if any of you had bad cramps before starting TOM? Did your TOM delay b/c of HCG shots?

I am on a 43 day round. I'm at .7 cc. I am late for TOM!! Which I am not on time each month... butttt... I've slowed my wight loss to .2 ounces (no change in food.) and I am bloating! But,my cramps are pretty bad. Last night I had to take some meds. I felt like I was having contractions in my back... No exaggg.

I haven't been able to call my my DH cousin, who is our doctor, in India b/c of the time change to see what he thinks???

You really need to contact your DR straight away. HCG DOES NOT cause cramping in your uterus. While many women experience cramping during pregnancy- it is NOT from the hcg hormone!

Is there anyway you could be pregnant? hCG Can cause fluid retention and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome - which can cause cramping.

You really should speak with your Dr, as abdominal cramping is not a side effect of hcg.

That being said, cramping is a normal PMS symptom- a symptom you get BEFORE TOM arrive. However, if you've never gotten cramping as a PMS symptom and now suddenly are- I would call the Dr.
