4DPO cramping

lepnee · 22/09/2020 17:15

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

Heya, I did! But it ended in a chemical unfortunately. But those symptoms were all pointing me in the right direction! Xx

@Sjmc16 hey, did you manage to get a BFP in the end?

Hi all,

Im just resurrecting this old thread, not sure anyone will answer or see it but thought I may as welll ask in case.

Currently on 4th cycle of TTC and 4dpo , been having on and off cramps since yesterday , milder than AF cramps but definitely still uncomfortable.

I've been having these very early in the luteral phase every month since TTC , never noticed them before.

Does anyone else get anything similar to this? I know it's way to early for implantation cramping and , like I say, I've had them in this part of the cycle since ttc.

Thinking of speaking to a gp about it if not positive this month.

@Sjmc16 I did the same this morning! Couldn’t resist but it was a BFN, which isn’t surprising this early.
I’ve also had more cramping, but now I’m telling myself that the closer I get to AF the more likely they are to just be PMS cramps.
I feel like it’s 50:50 at the moment, might be or might not be!

Sjmc16 · 06/12/2021 20:57

@KateInHappyland how’re you getting on? My cramps were weird yesterday, more pulls and this evening I’ve had such a sore back! I’ve caved and done another test, I’ve convinced myself there’s the faintest line but I’m probably going mad! At least I don’t have any more now so I’m going to behave! Confused

[quote Sjmc16]@KateInHappyland sorry that’s my fault, I’m new! Wink
I’d been really interested to see how you get on! I did a test this morning and it was negative, I knew it would be as it waaaayyy too early! Wishing you all the luck x[/quote]
No worries at all! I’m fairly new on here too. Smile
Thank you, I’ve done the same knowing it’s far too early but I know how the curiosity feels - you need to know! Especially when the cramping is so weird.
AF is due Friday so I’m planning on trying some early response tests in the next few days and go from there. Fingers crossed and good luck to you too!

Ah, I've just noticed this thread had been resurrected and the OP was from 2020! Please ignore me, although I'd be interested to know what OP's result was if they're still active on here!

KateInHappyland · 04/12/2021 21:52

@lepnee

So I just took a test. Only 8dpo. Is this the start of a line or could this be an evap/indent? Confused
I'm not seeing anything but 8DPO is still early. Try again at 10, maybe?
KateInHappyland · 04/12/2021 21:51

I've had the same! At 7DPO and had a lot of cramping the past few days. I don't usually get them at this point in my cycle so it could be a sign?
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high as our timing was a little off when we DTD. I think we were too early, but you never know.

Sjmc16 · 03/12/2021 20:27

Hi all, sorry if this isn’t the right thing to post but I’d just like some input. I’m only 5 days DPO, have been tracking ovulation and DTD on and around my peak time, I felt ovulation pains which I’m used to but for the last couple of days I’ve been getting what feels like pinching in both side of my stomach and lower down in my groin, am I being crazy to think these might be positive signs? Has anyone else had symptoms so early? I won’t test for a couple of weeks as I want to be sure and trying not to get my hopes up!

GanderousGoose · 26/09/2020 19:37

@lepnee there's nothing there atm. Try again in a few days.

@lepnee sorry that was a reply to you, I keep forgetting to tag!

Humpty11 · 26/09/2020 16:20

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!

lepnee · 26/09/2020 14:40

@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 😒

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 · 26/09/2020 07:28

@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

@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

MummyToPrince · 23/09/2020 09:09

@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

lepnee · 23/09/2020 08:56

@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

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 23/09/2020 08:37

@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 😂🤦‍♀️

lepnee · 23/09/2020 08:28

Still cramping this morning!! 😩

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 22/09/2020 21:29

@premum1 mine are hard too but also sore when I was pregnant with my son I froze lettuce leaves and it worked wonders 😂🤦‍♀️

lepnee · 22/09/2020 21:29

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
