Implantation cramping this early!?

Hi, this is my first post, I need some help from you ladies on a question I have.  I just had my 5th IVF transfer on 9/28/11 - just yesterday.  We transfered 3 frozen embryos.  The grade prior to freezing was 4BB and they were frozen on day 6.  Starting this evening, I've been having mild cramping that comes and goes, only lasting a few seconds at a time.  Could this be implantation cramping just one day after a frozen 6 day transfer??

with my last 2 transfers that I got bfp's from .. I cramped 1 and 2 days after a 5 day transfer so yes, it can be that early!

if your embie made it to blast on day 6 then you treat it as a day 5 instead as this is when a lot of embies get to blast .. some people get faint positives as early as 4-5 days past a 5 day transfer, but to save yourself heartache (if it's too early), I would wait till 7 days past transfer .. I always give this advice but am useless myself and test earlier than that .. I did test at 5 dp a 5 dt once and got a BFN but then got my BFP the next day .. good luck!!!!!!!

I am now on 4dpt and having shrap cramps specially on left ovary which had a ruptured folicle from a natural cycle. AF due tomorrow but I'm taking cyclogest.
Is there anything I need to be taking for precaution?
I want to put my best and leave the rest in the hands of our Creator.

*Update* After getting faint positives at 12, 13 and 14 dpo, today at 17dpo -beta was negative :(  Next transfer is set for December 9th - last two frozen embies.

I'll let you know either way.  Today I'm 10dpo (if you count it as a 5 day transfer instead of 6 day), so I took an HPT and it was negative.  Hoping to see something in the next day or two.  With this being my 5th transfer and not feeling any of those "cramps" until this transfer, I thought for sure it worked.  I've been extra tired too.  Praying to see that beautiful second line and praying that it gets darker!  I got a positive HPT at 12dpo with my 4th transfer, first beta was 19, it ended up being a chemical PG.  That was absolutely awful!!  I thought it had finally worked!  Now I know to not let myself get excited unless that line keeps getting darker.  Hard lesson learned!

Be sure to keep us posted on your results :) Oh, and to answer your question, yes, I tested positive and am now 12 weeks along, cramping and all :)

I totally forgot about a 6 day being treated as a 5 day as far as dpo - thanks for that reminder!!  So instead of being 9dpo today, I'm really only 8.  I planned to start at 10dpo so I'll test Monday... knowing it could still be too early.  I had a successful 3dt and got a dark positive the first time I tested which was 7dp3dt - or 10dpo. I had three sacs growing in there though, so that has to be why I got such a dark positive so early and I know not to expect that this time around.  Even the lightest second line will make me thrilled!  Thanks for the advice and the good luck wishes!

Thanks! I did not have any cramping with the first 4 transfers so it got me hopeful that it might have finally worked! Did you get a BFP? When would you suggest testing at home with a 6 day transfer?

It could be...I had the same thing happen to me too...you just put your body through quite a bit, as you know LOL, so it could be a few things going on. I had cramping very shortly after the transfer and it eventually went away after about a week or so.
