Cramps 5 days after ET

Is it common to have cramps after an ET? I have had cramps almost since ET  (3/31) and keep thinking AF is coming any day. I am on progesterone shots daily. Has anyone else had cramps for days and still had a positive result?

It is common to have cramps after ET. I have had three and after each experienced cramps. Regarding a positive result, I am waiting on my positive results now, actually I test on the 14th. I have had cramps, cramps and more cramps since the retrieval. I hope it is my ovaries returning to normal size but I also read somewhere that if pregnant they don't subsize right away. Not sure of the validity of that statement.

Keep us informed of your progress. I hope all goes well with you.

I have had cramps with all my IVF transfers (4).  The last one was a chemical and my only positive.   But I don't think cramps are an indication of success or not.  Many women have AF like cramps and are pregnant.  If you had a retrieval it could also be your ovaries returning to normal size.
