Cramping post embryo transfer during 2 week wait

[AnnieFL]

Hello, I am new to this Web Site and after reading about post embryo transfer cramps versus no cramps or no symtoms at all...if anyone can send me a message if they did get cramping after their transfer and if indeed you got a BFP!  If so, what were your symptoms if you don't mind sharing them with me.  I am in the 2WW post transfer on day 8 now and I am very nervous about it not working because we struggled to come up with the money and we won't be able to do it again.  I have a 10 yr old beautiful daughter who is Autistic and we have been trying to give her a sibbling for the past 6 or 7 years but no such luck.  We had not tried IVF before, this is our First Cycle.  I had 3 embryos transferred on day 3 about 8 days ago and have had some strong cramping for about 2 days and now light off and on cramping.  Does anyone have some encouraging words or success stories that you can share?  Hoping to hear from you, this site seems like a great place to make friends, share information and help each through...Take Care everyone!

I had a 5day blastocyst on the 24th and have had mild cramping up until today, they have pretty much stopped. Had a blood test on the 31, very early and it came back at a 5 HCG. I have another blood test on Monday and I'm very nervous as I have not had a positive on a hpt.

Hi
We are so close on our dates I had my ET on 10/25, so im on day 6. I had 2 embryos transfered. The most interesting thing about your post was that yesterday on day 5 i had the worst cramps in my life as well, while moving my bowels( sorry if tmi). I called my nurse today and was informed if it happens again to call her incase of the possibility of ovaian torsion. She also informed me that my ovaries were really enlarge and they are trying to return to their normal size.
Besided that isolated incident yesterday, I have had cramping ever since my transfer date. Sometimes it feel like AF cramping, and other times there mild and like butterflies.
We have 3 failed IUI and I have never experienced any pain like yesteday.

Im keepig my fingers crossed and hope for a BFP, I will definitely keep you posted and I would love for you to do the same.

I had my ER on 21/10 and ET 2x2dt on the 23/10. I had soreness from swollen ovaries 2days before the ER and for a few days after, oh and the bloating!!! WoW isn't that another story? My boobs grew overnight after the trigger injection, then kinda stopped but now are bigger and heavier? I then had sharp stabbing pain 3dp2dt, is that too early? I have read that 2dt can implant earlier. I am choosing to believed it was the start of implantation. Im now 8dp2dt and still have random mild cramps, normal?? The thing i'm holding on to is, I would normally only cramp on the first day of AF so I must be pregnant - OKAY!! (self talk) Im too scared to home test incase its BFN but i think i will a day or 2 before my blood test……I think???? Im so tired of analysing every tiny feeling or no feeling i experience, its  driving me nuts. Did any who got a BFP experience very mild cramps or tingles when you needed to pee?
The 2WW is the worst………….!!!!

I had my 5day transfer on the 23rd of October.  So I'm currently on day 8 transfer (day 1 being day of transfer).  Yesterday on day 7 I had the most SEVERE cramps I've ever experienced.  They hurt so much that I almost called 911 as in my mind I didn't think the DH was trying to get home fast enough.  Hubby got home and started driving me to ER.  The delta from the time it started to the  time they finally subsided in intensity was 45 minutes. Got to the ER and decided that I didn't want to go in as the severity of the pain was 80% gone. But we hung out for about an hour to make sure I was okay.

Spoke to the on-call doctor that night and said that if pain got worse to go to the ER.  Spoke with my physician this morning and he asked me a bunch of questions on the type of pain and where.  He was concerned that I might have ovarian torsion.  But I told him it was definitely cramping and not localized to either the right or left.  

Anyway - WAITING for my beta test on the 4th.... All this waiting is driving me crazy!  Let me know if you want details on my IVF cycle.

Hi Minu718 or Anyone with Comments or Suggestions,
We did ICSI and am at 10 days after 3dt of 5 embryos (4 untransferred embryos did not make it to blastocyst stage so we have none to freeze ).  I have noted some symptoms, but not sure if it's just the progesterone or the onset of my period.  Mild cramping on days 2-3, some nausea, acid reflux (which I never get), mood swings and more cramping the last day or so that is worse with activity.  I don't have any breast soreness to judge by since I had a double masectomy with reconstruction back in 2005 after a breast cancer diagnosis.  
Started doing home pg tsts like a neurotic fool and have continued to do so even though they show a big fat negative since the trigger shot wore off around day 3.  My BETA is this Tuesday and I'm finding the wait to be even more difficult than all the injections!  This is our last shot at a sibling for our 11 yr old son due to budget constraints, and the fact that my age (43) and health history do not lend to good odds.  It's been an interesting journey and I do hope, as all of you do, to have a little of bundle of joy to welcome in 9 months should God be willing.
