implantation or pms?

Okay, I'm an old hand at this so I shouldn't have this question but....I am 3 days post FET and just this evening started feeling "periodish".  Specifically feeling a bit bloated with some very mild cramping.  I'm on day 22 of my cycle which generally runs between 21 and 30 days.  I know cramping can happen with implantation, but has anyone experienced the bloating, etc.?

Jenno,
I think every woman is different, so I personally think that anything can go!  I have friends that say they feel nothing at all for the first 6 weeks or so.  I have other friends that say they feel like they are going to start their period, are very bloated and crabby, and they turned up pregnant!  My one friend even said that she kept running to the bathroom every 15 minutes because she kept feeling that she started her period only to find out that she was pg too.

I think it depends on your body.  It certainly can be possible.  Anything is possible .  Good luck to you.  I hope this means a +++++ in your near future!  Keep us posted.

I just finished my 1ww after transfer and felt bloated and a bit crampy the whole time.  My first beta blood test was yesterday, and anything over a "5" indicated a pregnancy.  Mine came back at 10.  My symptoms were very mild but similiar to what you are describing. 

I have a good feeling that a pregnancy is coming your way.

It is so confusing.  I was totally shocked, because my symptoms were not obvious at all.
