hi all

my wife had (3) embryo transfer on 8/6.  Yesterday she told me that she had to be running to the ladies bathroom.  Today she told me she has some cramps and she is spotting brown in color is this good or bad.  We still have one more week to go for blood test.

She wants to buy EPT but i keep telling her wait a couple more days

I agree w/ everyone. I have been through IVF 2 times already. You can realy make yourself crazy. Try to find things ot keep her busy. Take her out alot and just try to enjoy your time before test day. Because you never know, and that may be the last day there are just 2 of you.

hello... It's so early that you'll drive yourself crazy trying to detect signs of pregnancy. I just went through a failed cycle (3 three day embryo transfers on 7/25) and experienced the same sense of anxiety. After the transfer I went to the Dollar Store and bought 5 HPT and tested the 5 mornings before the blood test (I certainly do not recommend it, but i was too impatient to wait). 2 days of the 5 test were positive. The blood test was positve too, but the hCG was very low(7). I found out later that I had a miscarriage or biochemical pregnancy. My 2nd transfer is on Sept 12th. I went through this in 2006 when the 1st attempt failed and I did another cycle immediately and now have a 22 month old son. Just as heather said, the brown spotting is a sign that the embryos are starting to implant. I know it isn't easy but do your best to go about your daily business. I truly wish the best for you!

It could be implantation spotting. Some women do get that when the embryo implants. Cramps and frequent urination could also be a good sign. Best of luck!
