11 DPO light cramps since ovulation?

42 replies

Mamaforever · 26/01/2021 14:07

According to my app and my symptoms I’m 11 DPO today. I’ve had mild cramping for about a week now.. All the info I’ve found online say implantation cramps only last 2-3 days tops.

I don’t normally get cramping before my period and if I do it’s only the day before? I’m due AF in 3/4 days.

Like I say I’ve had light cramping on and off most days, with lower back pain, headaches, dizziness and a little mild nausea.

I’d love some advice.. I want to test but I’m not sure if it’s too early or if I’m going crazy and should just wait so see if AF appears?

Thanks guys x

@Bhugs2021 it is very stressful! Like I mentioned earlier we weren’t ‘trying’ I’m just looking for advice etc since I think I could be! The past 10 days have been a rollercoaster! I have so much respect for everyone ttc for months and even years.

Please keep us updated! I love reading people’s stories etc!

@Mamaforever thanks for replying. It’s nice these chats exists to off load as this TTC malarkey is much more stressful then I ever imagined. I’m going to see what happens the next few days and do another test if AF hasn’t arrived by the weekend! 🥰

@biglips would you recommend clear blue then? I’ve seen most people recommend first response and that’s what I was planning on getting myself?

funny thing is, with the girls i used the clearblue digitial at 9dpo, thats when i got my bfp. I tried the same with my boy at 9dpo, but it it was a bfn.

@Bhugs2021

Tbh sweetie I’m not well educated in implantation dips? But I wouldn’t lose hope! Mild cramps and light spotting is a good sign.

Please keep us updated!

I’m having the same issue. I’m 11 DPO. I’ve had very mild cramps since yesterday and had some light pink discharge this morning. Still having mild cramps. My app is showing I had a implantation dip 8 DPO. I did a pregnancy test this morning- BFN. Does this mean this cycle is over or are my HCG just not high enough 🤷‍♀️

@Toastedsesame

Aw how lovely! My little girl is 18 months.

Oooh I may order some! I was worried the weather would slow them down but I suppose it’s worth a try!

Please do show me your test!

@Mamaforever Can always amazon prime it! I'm waiting for frer to arrive with them :)

Our second, my little boy is 3. Last time I know I didn't get any kind of line before 12dpo so I'm thinking Thursday is the best day to test as I'll be 13dpo by then! I'll post my test in a min, see what you think...

@Toastedsesame

It’s so hard! I have to admit we weren’t exactly trying. But now I want it so bad. My other half is desperate for another baby but I was always the one saying to wait. But lately I’ve been thinking about it more and now I think it’ll break my heart if I’m not. Silly I know!

The snow and ice is so bad near me so not much chance of getting a test today so it’ll probably be tomorrow at the earliest I get one then will try to wait for FMU so possibly Thursday for me too! Although OH says Friday when I’m due AF

Is this your first lovely?

Oh its so tricky isn't it. I tested at 8dpo (which I know is silly early!) and it was negative and I felt bummed and wished I hadn't tested. I got a faint line on a frer yesterday and today faint line on the clear blue so I'm hoping it'll turn into a bfp if I wait til Thursday? See if my willpower is strong enough!

Oh wow, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in this! I was worried since its been days and days that I’ve had these light pains... I was thinking the worst!

Congrats on your faint line! Are you planning to test again sweetie?

I’m worried if I test too early and it’s negative it’ll make me feel worse... but I need to know haha!

I've had the same, some cramping most days, very light. I got a faint line on a clearblue early today, 11dpo.
