I think cramping is normal...it's the embryo/s implanting...it's just if you get red bleeding that's bad, but dark brown 'blood' is considered normal, if it's not too much...
Good luck, the waiting is a BEAR!
2 week wait anxiety!

Hey guys,
I'm going to jump in here if that's OK. I'm on this dreaded 2ww as well. My ET was Monday so I'm 3dp3dt at this point. I test 9/10 @ 10:10. How funny is that?
DAYS NEVER FELT SO LONG!!! LOL...
As far as symptoms go, can't really tell anything at this point. Sometimes feels like I have a little discharge down there, but nothing when I wipe (sorry if TMI)....
First day I was worried about doing anything: laying in bed wrong, moving too fast to the bathroom, and now by Day 3, I'm feeling a little more like they're safe in there and as long as I keep drinking water, eating healthy, and not doing any rigorous exercise or anything, I don't think it's like they can fall out or anything like I was originally thinking. I just have to hope they are in there growing steadily and making themselves very comfy for the long haul!
Anyone else freaking out (I'm sure everyone) during this 2ww? Any advice from anyone who has been through this before?
So if tomorrow is 4dp3dt when would I expect to feel any implantation or cramping? I've felt some cramping off and on since ET but nothing more than pretty mild.
STICKY BABY DUST and BFPPPPPs to ALL!!!

Welcome Julianna. I know you're in the other thread with me. I am 5dp5dt and have been feeling the same as you. First 3 days or so, I just had mild cramps....today, I have started to feel like AF (oh no) is coming. The cramps are a bit stronger and I have been running to the bathroom all day as I have the feeling something is there (like you) and there's nothing (thank goodness)! I have read many other threads were the girls mention feeling like AF is coming up til day of testing and get a BFP. Hope that is in our future as well as everyone here Maybe it's just our embies getting all cozy and staying put 
Oh, I also read that implantation can occur 6-12 days after ER, so maybe that's what we are beginning to feel
Take care everyone,
Jill

Thought I too should make the move to this forum. I am 2dp5dt and will be testing on 9/9. I have had some very mild cramping since ET on Tuesday but no other symptoms.
So far I have taken it very easy. I didn't get out of bed at all yesterday and today made the move to the couch where I watched a lot of television. I feel very lazy but it has been kind of nice to just relax. I also have tomorrow off so I will probably be a couch potato again How many days did you all take it extremely easy? I am worried about being up and moving too much yet my doctor told me I could go back to work today so I guess I just worry to much.
Good luck to all!

kellym,
So sorry to hear the news. Glad you are keeping a positive attitude and I wish you the best of luck next time around. This whole thing is such an emotional rollercoaster. Here's to a BFP on the next go!!!!!!
Jill, Ellen, and Judy-
Good luck to all of you- looks like we will all be finding out about the same time! I still haven't given in to the PT test- not sure if I will be able to hold out. Hope to hear good news from all of you soon!
Nicole

2ww is slowly but surely killing me... I've got a week from today to wait until my beta test and every hour of every day just feels like AF is ready to rear her ugly head! I don't know what to think.
Swore to myself I wouldn't take an HPT and it's only 7dp3dt and I'm already tempted to go get one! STOP ME NOW!
I know they are evil!
I have to go back to work tomorrow. All this time I've been able to work from home with the laptop but starting tomorrow have to go back into the office. Dreading it. Unsure if any of my work clothes are even going to STILL FIT me!!!
Delaying trying them back on because I don't want to depress myself even more.
Trying to keep up the PMA but it's so much easier said than done. I'm positive one minute and reassuring myself and the next minute doubting it and feeling negative.
Anyone out there willing to cheer me up? Hee hee
Hoping for that BFP for you soon, Jill, Ellen, Judy, and Nicole!!!
STICKY BABY DUST TO EVERYONE!!!

julianna, I think it's way too early to worry about AF! From what I read here and based on my past pregnancy experience (none viable unfortunately 
) you could have AF like cramping for a whole week, bloated, even spotted, but BFP. So I would not worry if I were you.
My test is tomorrow. Didn't do HPT, as I don't feel 'pregnant' at all (unlike before). So I have a bad feeling about this. This is my first IVF, hopefully you get a different symptom from natural pregnancy?..
Let's all stay PMA! Regardless the outcome, it won't hurt right?

Less than a week left to go for me on my 2ww challenge! My DH is refusing to allow me to get a HPT so he's killing me. I guess it's for the best though... I'm DYING though. Not many symptoms but almost constant slight watery discharge (sorry if TMI - ) and sometimes feel a little nauseous, but could be the new prenatal vitamins I switched to or the progesterone. Not sure. Some very mild cramping off and on but nothing that really feels like implantation or anything, which is a BUMMER. I'm not sure what to think, just wish I KNEW!!! 
LOL!!!! 
Thinking of you today and your GOOD NEWS, Judy! Are you excited? When is your appt? Tell us as soon as you hear!!!
ICSI GIRL - are you back from the long weekend? I need to PM you back soon. Hope you had a good one! And drank a couple beers for me...
Nicole - when do you test? How are you holding up during this crazy 2ww?
cyclone - How are you doing? Are you feeling OK? Any symptoms at all? I was nervous at first to move or anything but after the first couple days and a LOT of reading, I read so much that basically said they can't fall out, and they don't feel much gravitational pulls or anything. As long as we don't lift anything heavy or do anything silly like horseback riding, the best thing is to try and relieve stress and proceed about our lives like normal. Easier said than done, I KNOW!!
Jill - Getting excited and thinking about you today!!! What time is your appt tomorrow for Beta test? Keep us posted! What symptoms have you had?
Well, guys, let's help each other keep up our PMA!!

Judy, I can't wait to hear!!!! So are you Eastern Time? Like in the next hour you will know? WhooHOO!!!! 
I have a feeling it will be GOOD NEWS!
I don't remember - did you transfer 2 embies? 3dt or 5dt? So have you had any symptoms in your 2ww? I think everyone is different. I'm driving myself NUTSO counting down the days until my beta test... I bet you can't focus on anything else!!

Hey girls,
I went for the first test today and have my second one on Thursday. My clinic doesn't call me with the results until after the second one is completed. So, I figured I would find out Thursday but now I can not find out until friday. I am so mad- the reason being is that I live in ND and my clinic is in Minneapolis, so I am going to my local clinic to get the pregnancy tests done. When I went in today, she said they had to send the bloodwork out so it would be a day later for both. I held out on taking the PT but after I found this out today, I told my husband I can not wait any longer and I am buying one tomorrow. I know I shouldn't but this is killing me!!! Hope I hear the BFP from the rest of you- I will let you guys know the results on friday!!

Thank you all for your well wishes. Unfortunately we didn't get the good news today And they didn't call until after 5 (I'm in Arizona, Pacific Time in the summer). So needless to say, I'm more than depressed. I have told myself many times to stay strong regardless of the outcome, yet when my sister called to ask the result, I broke down and cried.. DH whos' usually so positive in this is all just sitting quietly there. We have an appt with the doc on Thurs., see what's next.
While, good luck with you girls that are still awaiting results. Good luck to you Nicole, one of us will hear something good, I'm sure!
