4DPO cramping

Hi all, I'm 4DPO and pretty much ever since I ovulated I've had weird cramps/dull pain in my ovaries and pelvis. Is this normal? I know it is way, way too early to even think about pregnancy or implantation but I was wondering - Has anyone had this and get their BFP later on? Might sound a bit hopeful but this is the first cycle this has happened so I have everything crossed Blush

Hey! I can't help in terms of the BFP but I'm in my first cycle TTC.. one day ahead of you at 5DPO but I experienced a heavy feeling stomach (lower) and cramping too.. all subsided today and not really felt anything unusual. But so tired! X

@lepnee yes sounds good! 💓🤞🏼☺️ I'm planning on testing either Sunday (10dpo) which is very early or if not next week! Scary but exciting XX

@premum1 Yes, I might test then too. I bought a big pack (30) of internet cheapies and I've been so tempted to test already but I know it's way too early so I need to keep myself busy so I don't go crazy wasting them for no reason Grin xx

@premum1 my app says I can test in 7 days but as patience doesn't run in my family I will probably cave 😂 reading your comment about testing on Sunday makes me also want to join you in testing, I'll be 11dpo xx

@MummyToPrince oh me too, I get so impatient in situations like this! Feel free to join us! 💓💓

@premum1 it would be amazing if there was tests just HPT & OPK that could tell you if you have had implantation or not! Yes definitely :-) it's exciting x

@MummyToPrince yes, I hope these cramps are a good sign for us this month. We could be due date friends (ish)  baby dust to us!! And the implantation test thing is a fab idea. We should invent it, we could become rich 

@premum1 No symptoms apart from cramping. I'm trying to tell myself that it's way too early to be symptom spotting but I can't stop myself Blush

@lepnee let's go into business 😂 we would be loaded 😂 today's cramping has been constant and very noticeable and I've got very sore nipples, if I've gone through all these cramps and sore nipples for no reason I'm putting myself in the bin 🤦‍♀️ ooo due date friend how exciting! Xx

Exciting times!
My nipples are honestly like rocks! I seem to go in and out of pain with them but they're so rock hard it's awful! And so uncomfortable ☹️☹️

Yes we would! It's just understanding the science behind it 🤔😂 abs yes, like I said I'm trying really hard not to symptom spot but my cramps were so sharp last night they woke me up. How strange, I definitely have not had this before. Hopefully it's our LO's making their way to the correct place Grin xx

@lepnee me too! And I've had 10 minutes of stitch like pain in left side, a little dizzy and feel sick and sore nips! I feel that crap today I don't think the bin would even accept me 😂🤦‍♀️

@MummyToPrince haha!! Grin

I was going to ask, I came down with the worst cold on Sunday night, with my body aching quite bad and I still have it today. Do you think this could affect my chances of getting pregnant this month? Hmm

@lepnee no hun, I've been reading other posts and quite a few girls have been saying they've got cold/flu symptoms, and I've also seen that during the TWW if you are going through implantation your immune system lowers. But be assured a cold won't affect your chances. To put your mind at rest think of it this way.. Whether your in 1st 2nd or 3rd trimester you catch a cold it doesn't affect anything x

@premum1 @MummyToPrince Hi both, how are you doing? My cramps have gotten more intense today, especially this evening. Fairly similar to AF cramps but not due on until Wednesday and these cramps are more towards the left and my back. I've got my fingers crossed but I tested today and had a BFN! Sad

@lepnee I feel deflated! 10dpo still got sore boobs and a feeling AF is coming — however I had that feeling when I fell pregnant with my son I was adamant AF was going to arrive.. I tested this morning and BFN

Hey, sorry to jump on your thread!
I have been googling and searching and can’t find the answer and you all seem to be similar to me!
I had a peak ovulation test on the 18th September and had a twinge in my left ovary area on Monday (not sure if it was definitely an ovulation pain or trapped wind 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I’ve had cramping since yesterday morning and it eased with paracetamol but has just started again today. I’m probably just getting my hopes up and the dreaded AF will arrive early instead 😖. It’s due to start 1st October but last month snuck up on me a few days early so we’ll see.
Hoping you all get some positive tests soon 🤞🏼

@MummyToPrince haha!! And yeah, can't see anything on the test but I think 10dpo can still be too early to test (I wish I took my own advice though lol).

@Humpty11 welcome! Hopefully the creamed are a good sign for all of us! I'm due on the 1st or 2nd too and fingers crossed AF doesn't show early 😒

Thank you! Fingers crossed, although I’ve started spotting so think it’s looking likely for me 😖. I don’t know why my cycles are so short though!
