Waiting period after IVF question??

Hello all, I am new to this site and I would like your help.
I just had a IVF 5 day transfer on 3/21 now I am feeling some cramping on day 7. I took an over the counter pregnancy test and it came out positive. Is the cramping normal?? please any advice you can offer would be great!!! Thanks

I am so glad that you are all out there for support!.
This is my 2nd IVF cycle.  the first one I got pregnant but it lasted only 6 weeks.
This cycle, the embryo quality was much better and transferred 3 blastocysts to me yesterday; two day 5 and one was a day 4.  This is day 2 of bedrest and Im feeling cramping but that could be residual pain from the egg retrieval a week ago.. since the pain is in the same spot.
I am hoping my babies implant into my uterus and that I can feel some cramping /spotting in the next few days. I've read that implantation should occur 2-3 days after 5 day blast transfer.
  I will try a HPT on day 6 after transfer and hope it is positive!
Until then, I will just take it day by day.

I had 2 transferred on day 5, on 5/7 but I'm cramping today & I'm bleeding. I was told this is normal but I don't have ANY pregnancy symptoms. I'm trying to remain positive. Wish me luck!

Hello, i am new.  Reading these entries has made me feel a little better.  My husband and i have been trying for 9 years.  I just had my last IVF transfer on the 8th.  We went through 2 - 2 years ago and both miscarried.  We finally pulled enough money together to do the last 5 embryos.  The transfer was the 8th.  I have been on progesterone, estrace and am taking daily injections of Lovenox...My pregnancy test is scheduled for Wed the 21st.  I am slightly crampy.  Feel like i have to pee all the time.  I have been doing the other alot as well.  My boobs are slightly achy and i have a slight headache.  Anyone else on Lovenox and similar symptoms? I am hoping from reading all your entries that this IS normal and i should not worry.  This is the last time we are able to do this. Out of money and out of eggs.:)  We are so hoping that the 3rd time is definitely a charm.
