Cramping post embryo transfer during 2 week wait

Hello, I am new to this Web Site and after reading about post embryo transfer cramps versus no cramps or no symtoms at all...if anyone can send me a message if they did get cramping after their transfer and if indeed you got a BFP!  If so, what were your symptoms if you don't mind sharing them with me.  I am in the 2WW post transfer on day 8 now and I am very nervous about it not working because we struggled to come up with the money and we won't be able to do it again.  I have a 10 yr old beautiful daughter who is Autistic and we have been trying to give her a sibbling for the past 6 or 7 years but no such luck.  We had not tried IVF before, this is our First Cycle.  I had 3 embryos transferred on day 3 about 8 days ago and have had some strong cramping for about 2 days and now light off and on cramping.  Does anyone have some encouraging words or success stories that you can share?  Hoping to hear from you, this site seems like a great place to make friends, share information and help each through...Take Care everyone!

Hi. I am on my 14th day post my 5 ET. The cramps r just not deciding to take a break today...I started getting cramps in lower abdomen and legs from the 3rd day itself post transfer. My beta is tomorrow and I am relli stressed and worried though it is my 1 IVF attempt. I am on a heavy dose of progesterone. So won't even know if periods r on the way....have a night to cross before d beta test.....want to know if someone has gone thru the same symptoms.....

Hey all. I'm a gestational carrier currently on my 3rd day after my frozen embryo transfer. I was only given one embryo, and I am so anxious that my chances aren't too great. I've been experiencing some sharp pain under my belly button since last night, and my breasts have become super swollen and painful almost over night. I can't sleep either. I am currently taking Progesterone and Estrogen shots and haven't had any side effects since beginning them almost 2 months ago. Honestly, I just really need some reassurance. I feel totally alone in this, as the intended parents are men, who don't want to hear the gorey details-lol. Anyone out there a surrogate, or even just an IVF recipient kind enough to give me some advice?
