Unfortunately, since the transfer was 21 days ago, and the test is negative, then it means that the transfer was not successful. It is possible that you are having an early miscarriage, which would explain the cramps. The medications you are on are preventing your period from coming, but most likely you will have a period soon, and it may be a heavy one.

You need to discuss with your doctor when you should stop the medicines, if you haven't already done so. I am so so sorry that it didn't work this time, but be reassured that this can happen and it doesn't mean that it won't work if you try again. I hope you are able to conceive soon. I hope this was helpful, if you have any more questions, please let me know.
