Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

Did you feel implantion? did you spot?

My ER was last Wednesday and although I have cramps from the progesterone, yesterday and this morning I had a short sharp pinching like feeling in my 'area'.
I don't think I'm imagining it, could be implantation?

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

I didn't have IVF, but when I was pregnant with DD - I had implantation pain & bleeding.

My pain felt almost like ovulation pain, but worse. I also got very bad gas (sorry if TMI). Same with my current pregnancy but no bleeding this time.


ETAL: Good Luck! I hope this is it for you!

Thanks - I have the gas, but I've had that since the Transfer, so I think its because of the medication

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

When you have your blood test?

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

no, not for another week
Today is only 7 days past retrieval

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

I'll be thinking about you!!

I also wanted to add that my ovulation type pain is a sharp feeling - It also feels like I'm getting AF.

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

I temped and charted very carefully but I got preggers naturally.

But I swear- 4DPO I woke up with sharp cramps in the middle of the night. When I temped that morning I had a small dip- hovering around the coverline. I NEVER had a dip after O'ing and I NEVER got cramps until the 2nd day of AF. Then, my temps went back up VERY high. Until I tested at 18 DPO, I had cramps and bad gas pains on and off.

HTH!!

ETA: I know that implantation at 4DPO is very wierd- but I swear I think that's what happened- also, based on my LMP, baby Matty was not supposed to be due until 12/2 or 12/3. But he was measuring ahead and my OB pushed his due date up to 11/27. I thnk it's because he implanted early.

IVFer here!!!

No implantation spotting and no cramping as far as I can remember.

I did have horrendous gas pains... sorry TMI but crippling, bent over in agony gas pains two mornings in a row... day 15 and day 16 after the embryo retreival.

I also had a ridiculous, over the top, "I'm gonna kill someone if I don't get any" craving for potato chips and onion dip 4 days after the embryo transfer.

The next day I got my BFP with twins.

Re: Implantation Q (esp for IVFers)

No IVF here, but I did have implantantion spotting that lasted for 2 weeks and mild cramps. Five days after the spotting started I went to the RE and she did a urine PG test which came up neg, but did blood work which came up postive. It wasn't until 7 days after spotting started that I got a BFP on a home urine test.

Good luck!

No IVf, but I do remember a cramp that was very spot specific, about 2 inches below my belly button.
