Don't stress this is my first time at IVF and i go for my blood test tomorrow to see if is has worked, the cramps are normal it is a way of you body telling you it is reacting to the embryo, anything can happen eg may or may not take , but everyone i have spoken to and the ivf nurse say that the cramping is normal, so don't stress take it easy and goodluck.... the 2ww is the worst i am so glad it is over tomorrow....lol
I will send you an invite to another link on this site the girls on there are lovely and really supportive... hope to see you on there soon...take care and goodluck :)
Hey I just had my IVF and my egg retrieval was Monday had 17 eggs 11 fertilized then they started changing I just had my embryo transfer today 2 embryos at blastocyst Grade B at there 5th day I am 41 yrs old never really had any fertility problems but had a tubal ligation 19 years ago remarried and decided to have a family again. Doctor said I responded beautifully with the stimulation medication and doing great I am just anxious now with these cramps if there normal? I have read so many peoples comments that it confuses me and some worry me. Wish someone could just say yeah its normal.
I too had my transfer recently (yesterday), cramping all the way and stayed in bed yesterday. I'm back at work today. it is my first IVF cycle, after about 3 unsuccessful IUI. I'm a little nervous and have my test on 12/3 - wishing for a holiday treat. I do have 1 son and he was conceived naturally - what devastates me most is that they don't know what is wrong. 17 eggs retrieves, sperm is good, 5 were abnormal, 10 didn't fertilize, and 2 fertilized. Then I was told that 1 wasn't growing. So, i was only able to transfer 1 normal embryo and hoping for the best. I'm 32 yrs old and doctor says my age is fine. I just can't wait. I think right now the hardest thing is waiting. Thanksgiving is going to be long. My trasfer was after day 6 - which is a littel late.
Wishing everyone good luck with everything.

Hello,
It sounds like we are exactly alike! I too had a 5 day transfer with 2 embryos and took a hpt 3 days after, because I couldn't stand the wait - it was also negative. I have the same symptoms as you, with a lot of general to mild cramping... I go in for my blood test tomorrow morning. I wish you the best of luck :-)
Iello thanks for responding. I had a day 5 transfer and the doc said i had two beautiful embryos. Today is the 5th day post transfer.
Hi, cramping after an IVF cycle is normal and it was way too early for a HPT. How many days post transfer are you now? Did you have a day 3 or day 5 transfer?
