4dpo and been experiencing horrible cramping and back pain since ovulation. Normal?

Hey.
So I ovulated on Tuesday (had 24 hrs of ewcm, headache, cramping and the darkest opk since I started doing them) next day, no ewcm and blank opk.
We have BD every day since Saturday until Thursday.
I do usually get ovulation pain but not for this long. It's been really quite strong, especially in my lower back. Does anyone else experience this?

I’m so glad I found this thread!

I’m 4DPO today and for the last 2 days my back has been really sore, almost feels bruised right at the bottom? Confused Nips feel like razors too! (Sorry TMI 😂) no cramping at the front though.

Congratulations @Hopin4no4 ! 🥳🎉

I'm pregnant! 😊

Oh noooo, that's disappointing. Hope it's because it was too diluted 🤞

Maybe wait a few days, it's still so early x

I did a frer which was negative but have been drinking all day so hoping that’s why. Sad to see though cause I would’ve though frer was more sensitive than an ic

Sparkle2020 · 22/01/2020 10:47

Exactly hahah. Yes please do!! Me too, hope this is the month for both of us :)

Are you still cramping? I'm still getting mild cramping, not as noticeable as before but still there.
Yeah, they're cheapies, I'm trying to hold off until tomoz. Don't want to be disappointed when I see a bfn lol
That emoji made me laugh, I've not had a drop since Xmas day...could do with a glass 🤣 x

Wink wrong emoji lol

Sparkle2020 · 22/01/2020 10:10

Omg really!! Ahhh don’t I’m getting my hopes up so much haha. Yeah they’re one step! If this isn’t my positive I wouldn’t buy them again mind because so many of them came with dents and scratches so have thrown out half the bloody batch. Are you testing today anyway? Might as well if they’re cheapies Wine

Omg I can see it!!! Arrghh! Fingers crossed for you!
Are you using one step? I have some right crap ones that are 20 something sensitive. Wished I'd bought the 10 now lol x

9dpo had a squinter again but think I’m just going daft. I hate ic’s, just don’t want to get a frer until I’m really sure it’s needed. But yes, it drags like crazy. It drags until fertile window and then it drags until af 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hoping4no4 · 21/01/2020 20:42

I've tested already, bfn. Don't know what I expected it's so early.
I hope your faint line turns into a really clear positive for you! 🤞🤞 x

Sparkle2020 · 21/01/2020 19:07

I tested today, I’m 8dpo and this morning I got a vvvvf line on one step after 10 mins, then did 2 more after that which look negative :( when do you plan on testing? X

Mine always starts really early around 2dpo
Take it as a good sign! Mine was very noticeable with a strong pulling sensation. I've been pregnant every time (I have 4 children)

Sparkle2020 · 21/01/2020 01:16

I really hope they are a positive sign
