When does the embryo implant and how does it feel?

[Lilamy]

Hi.  I had my day 3 et today. I'm curious to know when the embryo will implant into my lining. and how does it feel?  Is there anything I can eat or do to give it a higher chance of implantation? 3 unsuccessful iuis. First ivf, 7 retrieved, 1 fertilized, 1 fertilized with icsi, 2 transferred.

Thank you for being there :)

I experienced cramping right after transfer and it lasted for about 2 days.  Then the cramping went away.  Good news...I am 17wks pregnant with twins!!!  The bottom line is everyone will experience different things.  Don't worry if you have cramping or not.  Just stay positive and cheat LOL! Pee on as many sticks as you like.  That TWW is brutal.

Hi All!  I just had the a couple of days ago and this waiting is killing me!  Just before and also just after the transfer I was feeling a lot of cramping and other symptoms that folks have described above.  It's now 2 days later and the cramping and everything has lessened significantly.  Does this mean that it's not working?  Has anyone else experienced this and had good results??

Hi everyone!  I have been reading all your stories and getting plenty of hope. I am just 1dpt5dt with donor eggs. They placed 2 good quality blastocyst and we were very lucky to have 6 good quality to freeze. I am praying hard we don't have to use those other six but grateful if we need to. My main reason for posting is I wanted to ask if anyone felt cramping immediately after transfer. My cramping started about an hr after transfer and continues today but less intense. I've been on PIO injections and estrogen and never had any cramping. I'm just wondering if this is normal or signs that my body may have rejected the embryos.

I forgot to mention the most important thing, i've been doing acupuncture for the last year and a half after IUI did not work.. I took herbs and had needles once a week until I got closer to the egg retrieval and transfer I then stared going twice a week.. if you have a good acupuncturist that specializes in fertility, that's a plus. I truly believe that my embryo's implanted because of this which helped to strengthen my uterus.. I cannot rave about this enough... For any of you that have had issues with implantation and if you can, (it is costly but some insurance companies cover)  please try acupuncture for atleast 6 months prior, it really works!
Good Luck to all!
