Implantation cramps are some sort of the discomfort or pain that you can feel in the uterus. That it’s really similar to menstrual pain, the menstrual period pain. So, it’s very often confused patients start feeling that they’re going to have their period and the implantation didn’t go well but it’s actually the same sort of the same feeling and as when the embryo actually really implant. They can start feeling this cramp and they don’t just don’t have to think bad about this cramping because maybe it’s just something good and it’s telling us that the implantation actually went well. The only symptoms that will put us into more attention to, will be the bleeding which is another topic, because actually some sort of small brown bleeding, it’s not a complication but actually bleeding as a first day of a period, will have to put us back again in contact to see what’s going on.

There is no such special term in medicine. Probably our patient might reveal this sign, but there is no medical definition of this.

Well, patients sometimes can complain about some kind of cramps after the transfer for a couple of days but sometimes it’s not extremely clear if it is cramps related to that or if it is related with the ovaries and the bleedings and the clot that has been formed inside of the ovaries after the pickup of the eggs. So difficult questions to answer exactly what’s the reason for that kind of symptom.
