Symptoms after IVF

I am on day 9 of my IVF cycle.  It was a day three transfer of 3 embryos.  On day 6 of cycle (3 days after the transfer), I had major cramps.  On day 7 (4 days after the trasfer), I had some light spotting (red blood) which freaked me out. Yesterday and today, I've had little to no symptoms (very light cramps). I am not due for a preg test for another 5 days.  Anxious to find out if the symptoms are "normal".  Has anyone had a similar experience?

It sounds a lot like implantation bleeding to me which is good news. I had it for a week before my BFP. Fingers crossed.

I will keep my fingers crossed for us! I'm on day 11 now and had some light spotting again (red) this morning. It's making me very anxious.

My nurse said those symptoms are normal. I am on day 12 after a day 3 transfer of 2 embryos. My blood test is in 5 days also (4/29/09). I've been having light cramping but no spotting. The spotting can be a good thing for you because that could be a sign of implantation. Good luck to us!!!! Let me know you results since we test in 5 days.
