Help!

So the ET was Sunday...went well over all. It took much longer then it should have because apparently I'm all sorts of crooked. After a half an hour on the table the doc finally got my 2 beautiful embies in place.

Rested yesterday and am back at work today. But here's my question. I'm awfully crampy. Last IVF cycle I didn't have any cramps. This time they are there...is this normal? Is this a good thing? Or is this a bad thing???

I don't think it's good or bad. My guess is that since it took so long, it's just your body's reaction to the intrusion. If it lasts through tomorrow, you might call your doctor just in case, but I doubt it's anything to worry about.

P.S. I don't remember having cramps after my ET, but I did for several days after my hsg.

I second that- I doubt it's anything to worry about. I found that between all of my IUI's and IVF transfers sometimes I was more crampy than other times. Like the pp said, sometimes your uterus doesn't take too kindly to the intrusion. But, the usual disclaimer- if it worsens call your Doc.
