First time IVF - Pls advise

Hi I'm new to the site and to the whole IVF procedure, guess I'm looking for some reassurance altho this may not be forthcoming.  I'm on day 9 post embryo transfer not feeling anything other than a few sporadic cramps (mainly day 3-5) I have heard that 1st cycle doesn't tend to work can anyone let me know of their 1st experience and outcome.

Thanks so much

Thanks for your response too, as with sasparilla's comment it has made me a bit more upbeat and slightly more hopeful.  I don't know how far along you are in the process but good luck with it all and again fingers crossed for you too and hope all goes well.

Thank you for your response, it has given me hope as was feelin a bit deflated.  I have to say these 2 weeks are the longest of my life so far!  Good luck with the ER tomoz I hope it all goes well, I don't remember anything of mine just waking up afterwards so it's not too bad at all.

Fingers crossed all goes well for you.

Welcome to the site.  Unfortunately I haven't reached that stage in the fertility treatment to help you but I have heard people getting pregnant on a one shot try.  There are alot of women on this site that are going thru IVF treatment like sasparila said I hear about multiple births all the time......Best Wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many women on this site are preg. after their first IVF.  I am having ER tomorrow for my 1st, so I can't tell you from experience.  But I promise you, it has happened.. to women here and others (my next door neighbor is preg. w/twins after 1st IVF).  And also many of them did not have any symptoms.
Good luck!
