How long does it last? I have four children so you would think I would know but I can't say I paid much attention to the tww with my first two children (I don't even think 14 and 10) years ago I knew what the tww was. My third was a very happy surprise and my forth was planned to the day, I knew the day I conceived, the day he implanted but I can't remember how long the implant pains lasted.

We are trying again for our fifth, since coming off the depo in February I haven't had a period, I'm currently on cd 175 :( I think I'm possibly 9dpo past ovulation (if indeed i ovulated) I do opks but they never get as dark as the control line, they come close but never fully but I do the merry dance with Dh just in case ;)

Today after a week of the crappiest moods, aches and general dizziness and sore boobs I noticed slight cramps on my left hand side but they come and went within 5 minutes could this be implantation? If not then I hope it's my period coming back, I'm clutching at straws I know, I know to have no periods and to ovulate I would be very lucky, I can always hope though.

Never wanted to see the WW come back so much in my life, I just want my body back in a routine, I'm 35 and if cd stay like this I'd only have 3 chances a year to get pregnant.

Sorry for the mega post, I warble in real life and on the t'internet too so it seems ;)

Many thanks

Dee

I think implantation usually happens around 6dpo and it's unlike you'd have symptoms before implantation.
Fingers and toes crossed you get a bfp. Your symptoms could be baby symptoms.

I have had four pregnancies and only twice had implantation pain. Both times have been either the day or day before AF was due; the first time I had it I also had quite a lot of bleeding. Each time I really thought I hadn't conceived.

Similar to FuzzyOwl, I had what I assume to be implantation the day before AF was due, at about 10DPO (I got a strong BFP the following day). Though also similarly, it was probably the only cycle (compared to the previous 11!) where I was convinced I wasn't pregnant. Think this was because the pains felt like really strong AF cramps.. Though every so often I would get quite a sharp stabbing pain that took my breath away.

Hope things resolve themselves one way or another!
