How early after IVF did you feel symptoms?

Thank you for your responses to my concern that I "peed out my embryos".  Most responses were very reassuring and I am convinced that my embryos are still in me.  I am on day three after IVF #2, the first was a BFN.  I am on bedrest anxiously awaiting some symptoms.  I am wondering for those of you that have had a successful IVF, how early did you feel symptoms?  What were they?  Did you spot and on what day?  (I hear most successful IVF's have spotting)

I had no symptoms at all when I got my bfp at 14 dpo (14 days after retrieval).

I never had any spotting after my first ivf, and I did end up with a bfp. The only symptoms I had in the tww were cramping and that started 3 days post 5 day transfer.

This year I'm using a gestational carrier and before her bfp she had cramping. She never spotted either.

Good luck!!

It is interesting that most people have a 2 week wait.  I only have a one week wait.  I feel a little crampy, but after my embryos were removed, I was in a lot of pain.

I've been having cramping off and on.  I am trying to figure out if it is triggered by the progesterine suppositories that I take at night (I have a lot of cramping after that).  It feels like my left hip bone hurts.  I'm peeing a lot, but I always pee a lot.  That's it so far.  I just want some major symptoms.  I'd be so happy if I had to throw up or had spotting.  Anything to know for sure  :)

Well, today is the big day.  I go for testing.  I have been pretty nervous, dismissing any possible symptoms.  But today I finally got light spotting which is a real positive sign for me.  Last night I felt my belly which is very bloated and it is rock hard--that's different.  Nipples have been tingly.  Cramping pretty much every day.  Hoping and thinking its a BFP!
