Implantation cramps

I'm just wondering when they occur and what they feel like? X

Also I just wondering if you can have very mild menstrual type cramps before the implantation starts? Think I'm still abit early to be going through the implantation part x

The pains I've been getting are quite strange similar to period cramps but possibly not as strong. They have come back again this afternoon they come and go. Having quite a lot of CM too was quite watery last night. I've had no bleeding yet x

It was a sharp pain about 10 days after. It woke me up. I actually thought it was implantation pains and waited a week or so then took a test and had a very strong line. My husband was away I wanted to tell him I thought I was pregnant but thought he wouldn’t take it seriously. I didn’t feel anything with my second pregnancy. Strangely my son (the one with implantation pains and strong positive) is loud and boisterous, my daughter (without pain and faint positive) is quiet and reserved.

I had a really bizarre tickly bubbly feeling. I wouldnt have described it like cramps but maybe my experience was a total one-off?

Never had it before, never had it since but I knew something was different. I got a test and it was negative, then I had some bleeding. Tested again 2 weeks later and hey ho, 5 weeks pregnant 😂😂

Having no cramps/pains nothing today and my boobs don't feel as sore as they have done the last week.

Either yesterday was implantation or I think I could be out this month!

With DD I had little tingling pains in the centre of my pelvis a few days before my positive test. I'd never felt it before, and I remember distinctly sitting at my desk (office to myself so quiet and no distractions) getting my hopes up. We got lucky the first month, so I just presumed I was overanalysing things, very typical for me! But if it had been even my second month trying I would've been pretty confident before the test, I felt plenty that wasn't usual for me.

Just started TTC #2 and I'm getting my hopes up again, but I know I get niggling pains in my c section scar mid month now, so need to cop myself on a bit!

@Sydneey thank you I'll let you know.

I know everyone is different but how many days past ovulation did you have spotting? I'm 7 dpo and nothing yet. Wasn't sure if the cramping I had yesterday would be it and I know everyone doesn't have spotting/cramps x

My first pregnancy I experienced ovulation/period type cramps and had very light, pinkish blood on my tissue when I wiped. The cramps for me literally felt the exact same as period pains.. as soon as I saw the spotting I knew I was pregnant x fingers crossed for you Smile

I've felt different since I ovulated last Wednesday.

Had mild cramps on and off since then which is strange cause I normally don't have anything until a week before my period is due. Also had really bad bloating which is unusual for me. Started with more severe cramps today but still not as bad as pains I normally get before my period. My boobs are also really sore too x

@FearnRJ I had very faint period pain. And a little pinching/ digging feeling on my right side. This was over one day. This was around 7 days after conception. Our baby was conceived by ivf, so I know exactly when conceived!

However, I also had period pain on my failed cycles. But it was really intense and lasted for days.
Good luck!

Hi OP

I’ve been having the exact same symptoms, I tested BFN this morning. Although my periods are irregular so unsure really if I’m late (Ovia predicted monday AF was due, I predicted yesterday she still hasn’t shown) or because they are long I literally have to wait until a month has passed with no period before I test 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway I just wanted to jump on this thread and see how you get on and watch with interest x

Today I've started with them again but a little more intense and more regular also feeling a little light headed and sick. My stomach also feels full x

@zenlife sorry to hear that ❤️

I don't normally get twinges and cramps this early I usually only get really bad period pains the week leading up to my period x

OP posts:
zenlife · 15/07/2019 21:15

When I was pregnant (I miscarried though) I had normal twinges and cramps that I would normally get before a period

@ElizaRosanna90 I've heard it can last a day or 2.

I've had really bad bloating again tonight haven't had it for the last few days and having really mild stomach cramps too and back ache.

Don't remember having these symptoms on my pervious cycles!

OP posts:
ElizaRosanna90 · 15/07/2019 17:10

I know what you mean about symptom spotting! I’ve had bleeding for 2 days now and I’m 7dpo.
No cramping though so I really don’t know if it is IB Sad

@meow1989 I know it's so hard not to symptom spot!

I've been tracking my cycles the past 4 months with Ovia and noting any symptoms I have been having between ovulating and period coming. I always start with period pains the week before my period comes and it's there until I come on so I'm looking out for that from this Wednesday/Thursday.

The 2 weeks just seem to drag!

meow1989 · 15/07/2019 14:35

I had a pinching pain on one side about 9days after conception, I remember complaining about it at dinner with DH and DM. I got a faint positive 5 days later and DS is now nearly 13 months Smile

However, I do take it with a pinch of salt as when ttc we become so aware of our bodies that things that we haven't noticed before suddenly we notice and they seem incredibly significant where they might not be. Hope you get the other come you want.

It's seems to have gone now I think x

If it’s unusual for you I’d definitely be feeling positive if I were you!

It's only really mild but when it comes it feels like it could get quite strong but doesn't. Not at the minute anyway x

@Rubyrubyrubyrubyaaaaaaah nope no bleeding.

I had bad ache as well yesterday still got it today but not as bad mainly the dull ache I keep getting and needing to pee more today.

The symptoms I've been getting I don't normally get after ovulating, was really bloated too for 3 days after ovulating which doesn't normally happen and my boobs feel different to what they normally do around this time x

I understand they’re rare.
