Jemel I too had period like cramps in the lead up to having my blood test after my IVF cycle. I was sure that I wasn't pregnant because of the cramps and on the day they called me with my BT results I was prepared for a negative and was completly blown away when they told me I was pregnant. I am now nearly 18 weeks pregnant. I probably continued to have bloating and cramping for the 1st 3 months after my BT. It takes awhile for the ovaries,especially after a positive BT, to get down to it's normal size due to the stimulation drugs.

I wish you all the best and I hope to hear some good news very soon.

I never did a HPT before the BT as I didn't want to get a false positive and to then only be disappointed once the BT came back. It was a very long wait though. Goodluck.
