Hi ,
How are you doing ?
When something is kept in uterus, your uterus will keep trying to pushing out. So that could be the cramps. All the hormone medications you are on are to suppress the uterus & make it quite. These hormones have a side effect of diarrhea too.
But this can also due to your anxiety( anybody can have this pain & diarrhea)
This could also be any indigestion or infection or Food poisoning.
So if you feel it's to do with any infection, meet a doctor & have antibiotics & support.
if not, relax & try to cool your mind. Your doctor need to be informed you don't feel good. May need to increase the dose of hormonal support.
Don't worry , this will not affect your future pregnancy chances or this embryo.
Hope I have clarified your query. do write back if any more queries
All the best
