Waiting period after IVF question??

[Prettymama23]

Hello all, I am new to this site and I would like your help.
I just had a IVF 5 day transfer on 3/21 now I am feeling some cramping on day 7. I took an over the counter pregnancy test and it came out positive. Is the cramping normal?? please any advice you can offer would be great!!! Thanks

Hello, i am new.  Reading these entries has made me feel a little better.  My husband and i have been trying for 9 years.  I just had my last IVF transfer on the 8th.  We went through 2 - 2 years ago and both miscarried.  We finally pulled enough money together to do the last 5 embryos.  The transfer was the 8th.  I have been on progesterone, estrace and am taking daily injections of Lovenox...My pregnancy test is scheduled for Wed the 21st.  I am slightly crampy.  Feel like i have to pee all the time.  I have been doing the other alot as well.  My boobs are slightly achy and i have a slight headache.  Anyone else on Lovenox and similar symptoms? I am hoping from reading all your entries that this IS normal and i should not worry.  This is the last time we are able to do this. Out of money and out of eggs.:)  We are so hoping that the 3rd time is definitely a charm.

I had 2 transferred on day 5, on 5/7 but I'm cramping today & I'm bleeding. I was told this is normal but I don't have ANY pregnancy symptoms. I'm trying to remain positive. Wish me luck!

I am so glad that you are all out there for support!.
This is my 2nd IVF cycle.  the first one I got pregnant but it lasted only 6 weeks.
This cycle, the embryo quality was much better and transferred 3 blastocysts to me yesterday; two day 5 and one was a day 4.  This is day 2 of bedrest and Im feeling cramping but that could be residual pain from the egg retrieval a week ago.. since the pain is in the same spot.
I am hoping my babies implant into my uterus and that I can feel some cramping /spotting in the next few days. I've read that implantation should occur 2-3 days after 5 day blast transfer.
  I will try a HPT on day 6 after transfer and hope it is positive!
Until then, I will just take it day by day.

Hi, its nice to talk to others going through this stressful time.. I had my transfer last Wednesday.  I transferred 2 blastocyst.  I had very stressful few days after my transfer which scares me becuz Im afraid from being so stressed out they would not attach.   Now the waiting period is killing me.  This is my second time doing this so Im hoping for a positive outcome.  I wanted to cheat and take over the co unter test but my friend took several and it said positive then negative and blood test came out negative, since this is already a emotional roller coaster I didnt wanna push my luck.  
I was scheduled to noramlly get my period today, I was wondering since I didnt get it does that mean it worked? Last time when it failed i got my period before my blood test.   I had a light pink spotting when i wiped friday only 1 time and sunday only 1 time and those are the days the doctor said they would hopefully attach so I was told that could be good.  and this morning i woke  up with cramps like i was getting my period but nothing came.  I go for my blood test Friday so I pray its positive..
