Cramping after Day 5 Transfer

So its been a while since I have been around here, but things have certainly progressed. After struggling for almost 5-years with premature ovarian failure, my DH and I finally selected a donor.

This is my first IVF cycle, as I have only been able to try IUIs in the past. Egg Retrieval was last Wed (2/27) and yielded a good amount of eggs. Went for a day 5 transfer yesterday. We transferred 2 blasts that were already beginning to hatch. All of the embryos were graded AA, most of which had already become blasts before freezing.

After the transfer I had some abdominal bloating for the remainder of the day. Been fine all day today, then about 2 hours ago, I began having some slight cramping/twinging. Is this normal? I am only 1dp5dt. I dont want to assume anything negative or positive at this point and was hoping someone could offer some advice.

TIA!!

Re: Cramping after Day 5 Transfer

Yes that is totally normal. Are you taking progesterone also? Progesterone causes cramping as well.
Good luck to you!!!!!

Totally normal and like what the other poster said the progesterone causes cramping as well.
