Is frequent cramping after IVF embryo transfer normal?

I had my embryo transfer last thursday. And ever since then, I've been getting a lot of menstral cramping. It is getting worse and more painful now. I asked my doctor and but he didn't say anything. I'm worried because doesn't cramping usually mean you aren't pregnant and the uterus lining is building up to get ready for your mentrual period?

Hi, I am 6 dpt 3et and have been cramping a lot since the 3rd day post et. Some times it is mild and at time it is bit more for a short while, then it goes off but mild cramp is always there intermittently. Is it normal? I also had dark brown discharge on the 2nd and the 6 th day which is today. Can some one please help me here.

I had a IVF transfer on Thursday 05/23/13 and cramping started about three days after and I am still having them they come and go. Is this normal? I am just freaking out this is my second time trying but I don't remember having them the first time so I am hoping it is a good sign.
