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)

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!

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  :)

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 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!!
