First time IVF - Pls advise

[Jo26]

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 all your comments it has certainly helped me to be more positive!  

To babynr I had my transfer on Monday 9th June so today is actually day nine, (got days mixed up yesterday).  I am supposed to take my test this Monday so another 5 days to go, the waiting is driving me mad!!

Oh yes, it's definitely a singleton for us.
My dh is just like yours, too optimistic in my view.  I guess men are from Mars...  I just can't help it but to worry all the time.

We had no 8 cell embryos on day 3 and none of the leftover embryos survived to the blast stage as well.  We transferred 3 embryos, 2 were 5 cell and one was a 6 cell.  All 3 were fragmented and graded 2-2.5 (with 3 being the lowest grade at our ivf lab).  
I am 9 weeks.  Good luck!!!

Good luck to you on the 26th!  I will keep you (and all) in my prayers!

We had nothing over 8 or 9, I believe.  Do you guys know?  None of them lasted to blastocysts for freezing but I'm just thinking about the 3 embryos inside me now.  My chances... I had ET on 6/13 and take my beta/pg test on 6/26.  9 more days!

thanks Helen and congratulations to you!  
I am trying to hang in there!  I guess with these "period symptoms" and all, I started thinking negatively.  
My hubby always tells me that i have to THINK POSITIVELY!!!!  
Best wishes on a healthy pregnancy to you.  Are they able to tell whether you are carrying more than one baby yet?
