I believe that it is completely normal.  I had cramping, feeling extremely tired, and spotting....this could be a sign of implantation.

Good luck to you and Keep us posted! :)

I haven't had any spotting, but been told you don't always get spotting, is this also true? & I'm not sure how many days after the transfer the implantation takes place. This 2WW messes with your head doesn't it??? Lol :-)

The two week wait is really hard....Staying busy really helped me.  And you are right....you don't always spot during implantation and many women don't experience any symptoms at all.  Now is a good time to spend time with friends, family, etc.  It helps the time go by faster.

Keep us posted! :)

I had my ET on Mon the 9th so I am in the same 2ww nightmare.  I often feel weird cramping and fullness but it may be all of the estrogen and progesterone med's I'm on.  I'm trying not to read too much into it but of course I wonder about every little symptom.  When do you get your results?  I'll get mine on Thurs.  It was a 5 day fresh transfer and we only had 2 make it to freeze.

Hi there, it is so scary & your right trying not to read to much onto every little thing is so hard! Good luck for Thursday please let me know. I do mine on saturday. Ours was a 5 day fresh also & we only had 1 other make it to freeze. The only thing I have now is sore nipples the cramping has stopped, but again trying to remain calm! Xx

Hi there

I got a 3 day embryo transfer. I was so tired the fist day, second day night time was so much in pain with my lower back and could feel stretches inside my embryo's. My breast became tender and sore that I could not do without a bra on. I was ill especially night times, felt bloated and constipated. Cramps in my tummy like period pains until  I very sharp cramps on my left Ovary, that was on the 10th day after my transfer. On the 11th morning time, cramping disappears and I started like being sick, I was spitting for almost 1 and half hours before I saw like old blood coming out. Very dark in colour that I could wear a pad but no cramps now. It went on for the day and stopped during night time. Second day  it started again but lighter. 3rd and 4th day pinkish in colour but didn't need to wear a pad. I usually do have very painful period pains but these time no pains at all. I am due for testing today buy very scared.

I am sending you all my positive thoughts and please let me know, I know how the scared feeling feels I am petrified & have another 6 sleeps to go. As I say I have had really bad cramping for the first 3 days & not so much since ... on & off really ... I do have very tender nipples to touch which I have never had before but I do feel like my period is coming any minute. Any again I wish you all the luck in the world & please please let me know xxxx

Good luck today!  I hope you have already received great news.  4 more days to wait for me.  I'm still feeling cramps off and on and just a weird fullness occasionally.  No spotting whatsoever but I keep looking for implantation bleeding.

That stinks that you have to wait until Sat.  Are you going to poas early?  I'm tempted but scared at the same time.

I do my test on 21st. I am just so so tired, but I haven't had any spotting either! I do have slightly tender nipples & on & off cramping, but I never know what's the hormone drugs & what isn't. Good luck to us all xxx

I am so sorry!  Thankfully you have a frosty baby.  We had a negative test on our 1st IVF cycle as well but ended up with a baby girl from one of our 2 frozen embryos.  It seems like there is a higher success rate from the frozen transfers.  Please do not give up hope!
