Heavy cramps and spotting after fresh transfer

I transferred 3 day-3 embryos 5 days ago and am having heavy cramping today that feels exactly like after my egg retrieval and impending withdrawal bleed. I'm convinced that this is not going to work and that if it did I wouldn't be feeling a withdrawal bleed coming on. I've also been having hot flashes starting today and a little bit of light pink spotting yesterday. I never spot and my clinic said that could have been implantation bleeding, but I'm just convinced that it's not because this feels identical to the hormone crash after an egg retrieval. I guess I don't really know how it works since this is my first time actually doing a transfer. I've also had some strange painless uterine contraction like feelings and just strange sensations down there in general, I don't really know what to make of it. I'm on one unit of progesterone in oil nightly. Has anyone experienced this before?

How early is too early to trigger?

My doctor triggered me at 15.5 and 10.5 and they were retrieved immature but matured overnight in the lab. Unfortunately, neither fertilized which doesn’t surprise me because my estrogen was only 184 at retrieval. I’m going to ask my doctor tomorrow, but I’m just wondering if others have had their doctors trigger quite early and also if you were successful with those eggs.

Eggs matured overnight in the lab failed to fertilize with ICSI/poor egg quality this cycle

I had a very strange cycle that went on forever - 16 days. In the end they only got 2 eggs and they were both immature. They were able to mature them overnight in the lab but neither fertilized with ICSI. Is this normal? It seems like something was very wrong with these eggs from the start as it took forever for me to respond and my estrogen never rose very high. It was 185 at trigger. My doctor also triggered at 15.5 and 10.5. I am guessing he wanted to prioritize my lining for a fresh transfer from the eggs I have frozen but what a slog for no usable eggs. Has anyone had a weird cycle like this where your eggs are just really poor quality for no known reason? My last cycles were totally normal.

Bought a $90 Fallen Angels ticket on Theatr and realized it was a $30 HipTix ticket after transfer...

Title basically. Am I going to have issues getting in? It was already electronically transferred to me but I don't know how HipTix works. This person definitely ripped me off too but the show is completely sold out now.

About to have my second cycle in a row canceled and on Mother’s Day I’m taking this as a sign from the universe to get the hint and just give up

Not sure what I want to accomplish by posting this, but I feel like I’m just crying and screaming into the void and just wanted to offer comfort and solidarity to the other women that are struggling here today

It’s done this a couple times since I bought it starting about a month ago, but it’s never been accompanied by that horrendous sound until just now. It will shut down after a minute or two of that and then restart and pick up exactly where it left off. Has anyone encountered this before? It’s literally 2 months old. I know it was a cheap TV but come on.
