Very confused about implantation etc

I had AI done on Monday 10th, July. and I have read that implantation happens on the 5th day and I have read it happens on the 7th day, Which one is it?
Also my doc said that I had lots of viable sperm and my folical was about an inch. We had a HGC(?) shot on Sunday so Ovulation was on Monday (I sure felt it) She didnt say "if I dont get my period" she said "when", can she say this? as this is try #4 (the last 3 times did not have a good sperm count at all) My hopes are very high right now, I'll be so unhappy if her comment is wrong.
Since this is only day 5, would there be any symptoms. Cause I feel a little sick right now and I have a very mild cramping, so mild infact, that if I was doing something I might not feel it. Am I imagining these things?
Sorry this is so long, but I'm so confused right now and I'm sure I'm just obsessing.
Thanks for all your replies

I did some online research this morning about that very thing. I found that implantation can happen anywhere between the 5-10th day. Also you wouldnt get symptoms until after implantation as your body doesnt know its pregnant until that happens.

Today is 7-8 DPO for me and my stomach hurts a little. I'm thinking I could have a bladder infection though. Last month I had cramps and thought I was pg; however, had my period. I hear that PG symptoms and Pms symptoms are about the same
Good luck!

I think implantation is supposed to happen from 6-12 days after ovulation. So I don't think she told you right by telling you 5 days.
I also had an IUI done on Monday July 3rd. My af was supposed to arrive today but never showed. I did have a little tiny bit of spotting yesterday but it was hardly anything at all, just like a little bit of brown discharge sorry if tmi. I didn't have anything today. But I keep getting BFN's on my hpts. I am hoping I am. I don't really have any symptoms either. I just had some mild cramping on and off on different days over the past week. I have a splitting headache today though.

When you say you had AI, do you mean you had IUI?

I had it done on Monday 10th July, I think it was what you called it? (sorry about tmi) They inserted a straw into my cervix (it hurt like hell no matter what they say). But surley she cant say "when I dont have my period".
Like I said, I'm probably obsessing after all we have been trying for 7 years now and I think I will imagin just about anything right now.
Sorry to hear about your headache, I think all you can take is tylenol.
Also I think I felt sick cause its really hot, its in the 100"s today and I didnt realise I hadnt eaten anything. How silly is that. But I'm still feeling a tight/very light cramping.
Thanks for relpying, We just have to keep our fingers crossed. Sounds like you may be though. I do hope so.

Yes that's what I had done, where they stick a tube up your cervix. Mine also hurt but was more of a pressure when they did it and it was only pain for a brief minute when they put it in there. Then I had bad bleeding afterwards for two days. The doctor said my cervix was open and dialated so he didn't have any trouble with it. If yours hurt a lot you might not have been very dialated. I still don't have AF tonight but got some more of that brown mucus only a very tiny bit. I am praying AF doesn't show up in the morning as I think it will. It is expensive to have the IUI done and I really want to be pg after trying for 2 years plus my whole family and most of my friends know I had it done and not only is it depressing for me, if I am not pg, I have to tell all of those people it didn't work. Next time, I won't let anyone know for that reason and just hope to find out if I am pg.

I don't know if I'll try that procedure again next cycle if I am not pg this cycle. I think we might try naturally again. My husband had a low count and low motility. His count was at 50 million and the motility was 40%. But he has been taking fertility blend for men for 3 months (when he remembers too) and the doc said his count was very high but didn't really specify how much it was. He showed it to me under a microscope after the sperm had been washed and almost every little spot was taken up with live sperm. So I am sure his count went way up. I was hoping that it would work for us this time. The doc said that the timing was perfect and he thought for sure I would get pg from doing this. :( I am getting depressed thinking I might not be with this spotting I am getting. I usually get that right before AF for 1/2 a day or so. This has been 2 days of it. If I am not. I wish AF would come already and I can get over it and try again in 2 more weeks.
