Ok I have done way to much research, which I really need to stop doing, and have some questions for you ladies. We transferred a grade 2 embryo on day 3 (RE uses 1-5 scale 1 being highest), how many of you transferred a grade 2 or lower and had success? Also how many of you had implantation cramping/bleeding or what would seem like implantation cramping? I have read of lots of women going through IVF that felt what they described as implantation cramping and I am having nothing as of 3dp3dt. TIA for your help ladies!

Re: A few questions from another 3Ter
IVF #1 ET 1 d3 embryo 10/30/11 BFP
3 Embryos frozen (1 d5, 2 d6)
DS born 07/29/12
FET #1 ET 1 d5 embryo 02/10/15 BFN
FET #2 1 d6 embryo didn't survive thaw, transferred last d6. CP
On my cycle that worked, I transferred 2 day 2 embryos. Day 2 is apparently way too early to grade them. One stuck and one didn't.
I had pain and cramping that started before ER and didn't go away until near the end of the 2ww. Nothing that necessarily had anything to do with implantation. It was just pain from everything they put my body through (I had a cyst aspiration before I started stims and didn't use any pain meds for it; I know that caused me pain).
Good luck!

Me= 37 and DH = 41
Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)
IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN
IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.
IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132. Lil is here!
TTC#2: Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.
IVF #4: BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN
IVF #5: MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN
IVF #6: (New RE): Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN
FET#1: BFN
I don't have any experience regarding Grade 2 embryos, but I do know that so many ladies get their BFPs with less than perfect embies. I'm pulling for you!
Also, I cramped a lot after ET, but I could never tell if it was from implantation or from all the drugs/procedures/bloating.

We transferred an A grade and 2 C grade embryos for our second IVF. I'm currently pregnant with a singleton.
About 6 or 7 dp3dt I had a day full of cramping. Other than that, my only symptom was extreme exhaustion the second week of the 2ww. Everyone is different and unfortunately progesterone can cause all these same symptoms. Just because you aren't having any "symptoms" at 3dp3dt doesn't mean anything. Hang in there. The 2ww is horrible for everyone.

Hoping this is your cycle.
