Last month was my first IVF cycle. It failed due to poor quality embryos. As a matter of fact, when I went in for my transfer and the doc told me my two strongest ones arrested and all I had out of 6 were two left and they were only 4 cells on day 3.

Yep, taking progesterone suppositories. That's probably it then. Thanks ladies. [/list][/code]

Anyone experience what they believe to be implantation cramping about 6 days after retrieval (2-3 days after transfer)? If so, please describe the intensity of the cramping. I had some lite cramping twice for very brief intervals within 12 hours of each other. I am wondering if this is what's behind ...

I retested two days ago and it was 8. I'm told ...

:D
