Cramping 5 days post 5day embryo transfer

[worththewait78]

Hi ladies!  We had our embryo transfer (third time trying IVF - first time didn't work, second time DID and we have a beautiful baby boy!) on Thursday, December 13th.  Today is Tuesday, December 18th.  It was a fresh cycle and a 5 day blast.  It's hard for me to remember back to the first time we did IVF (the fresh cycle- the second time we did it, when it was a success, it was a frozen blast).  Is it normal to start having cramping 5 days post transfer?  I have been feeling relatively good and then today started having cramps in my very low abdomen.  Could it be implantation?  The first time we did IVF I got OHSS and hyperstimmed, so my feelings were totally different.  LUCKILY I didn't get OHSS this time!

I am sorry you are feeling down :(  the whole ivf thing is so draining mentally.  When is your bloodtest?  I have seen others test neg on hpt's and get positives on their bloodwork.   I hope this is the case for you.

Cramping is a good sign. It could be a sign your little emvie/s are snuggling in, Also at this time being it was a 5dt you should be able to do a HPT if you choose Good Luck
