Implantation???

112 replies

Hi All,

I'm currently 6 dpo and experiencing really weird, sharp pains in my lower stomach. Not had anything like this before! They feel kind of like period cramps but then can't decide if it's chronic bloat?!!

Is this likely to be implantation or something else???

@gossipgirlxoxox I'm not due until Wednesday but maybe I'm coming on early? I don't know. It's been a long time since I last did this! I can't remember anything!

@Climbingthelaundrymountain

Your colour definitely sounds right though. I'm sure implantation is normally pink!

Mines gone again today but just going to monitor it as mine shouldn't be my period starting yet so idk what it is. Unless my period is suddenly changing to a shorter length x

@gossipgirlxoxox I've had more pink discharge this morning too. This is so unusual for me but I can only think it's got to be my period starting. I can't believe it's implantation. I'm 10po. I really don't want to test just to be disappointed.

Arghhh now had a bit more brown dischargy/spotting/grossness in my knickers!! Had cramps again on and off today. What is this?!! It's still too early for a period. I thought implantation blood was pinky red too. Who knows!

I'm actually concerned there's something wrong at this stage instead of being pregnant!

@gossipgirlxoxox I hope you get a positive result!

@Climbingthelaundrymountain

Your symptoms definitely sound positive! I'll be testing with you on Friday! Let us know ☺️

It's due 2nd March. I won't test until next Friday I don't think, just in case.

When is your AF due? Implantation happens around 9dpo. These were the symptoms I got with my last pregnancy. Pink along with cramping. Not everyone feels Implantation but for me those were the symptoms! By dpo13 I got a positive!

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 26/02/2022 18:00

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 do you think? With my other children I've felt sick or dizzy. This stuff is new. I was thinking today maybe AF is coming as I feel like crying all the time but usually my PMT is feeling murderous!

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 26/02/2022 17:56

@Climbingthelaundrymountain those symptoms sound like the real deal.

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 26/02/2022 17:43

I am 9dpo and don't know how to feel really. I've had mild cramps and a pink tinged discharge today. Those are not normal symptoms for me in the days leading up to my period. However, I do have really sore boobs which is normal for me. So I've no inclination either way but I don't want to test yet.

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 26/02/2022 16:19

@MrsYan I'd say anything out of the normal is a good sign!

Feel better today. Stress might be causing the nausea and the cramps were prob ovulation. I don't get pms symptoms other than feeling down before my period so I can't really tell if anything is different!

MrsYan · 26/02/2022 16:15

Hey @Quadrilingual sounds promising, when will you test?

The only symptom I have that is really playing on my mind is lack of sore boobs... I always get super sore boobs after O. But they just don't hurt? As this is completely out of the norm I don't know what to make of it? I'm 9dpo today!

How are you both @gossipgirlxoxox @L3tsD0Th1S2020 ? xx

Quadrilingual · 26/02/2022 09:42

@MrsYan

Hey girls! Sorry I have been absent, had a busy few days off work 😊 how are we all?

@Quadrilingual welcome! Did AF show for you?

@gossipgirlxoxox when is AF due roughly? What's the spotting like now? Fingers crossed in IB!!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 I don't think we imagine these symptoms, I just think sometimes we look into them too much. How are you today? I feel completely like myself, I have no normal things like sore boobs, cramps etc like I normally do in lead up to AF 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ its such a confusing time isn't it! X

Thanks! No AF! I'm on day 28 so could still show up! I'm constipated and gassy still. Bloated all last week. I get this when AF is due as well but the dry skin and spots around lips is new. Could go either way really!

Any more symptoms with you guys?

MrsYan · 26/02/2022 09:01

@gossipgirlxoxox fingers crossed! I'm excited for you! It's hard when your cycles vary a bit. Mine vary from 26-31 days, that's why I test with opk's so I can work out when I ovulate so then I know when af is due.

I did try BBT but I went to bed worry about taking my temp which meant I would have a rubbish nights sleep so wasn't very accurate lol! X

@MrsYan

Couple of tiny tiny spots in my knickers but other than that nothing else.. AF is due anywhere from next Thursday/Friday to the middle of the week after. My cycles have always been long around 34-36 days but sometimes I do have a more normal length so it's always really difficult to tell. X

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

It's so hard to imagine the cramps though! In my opinion it is anyway. Stomach ache I can easily bring on and imagine but cramps not so... x

@gossipgirlxoxox

Those apps are just a guide really! We're not machines!

Delighted for you...it's promising 😊

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 25/02/2022 22:41

@gossipgirlxoxox

On and off nauseous but overall feel like myself!

I'm thinking this was all in my head. I can't explain the nausea but no other symptom has appeared!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

If so that would mean, as predicted, my app is wrong with my ovulation as I'm sure it happens a few days earlier than it says... x

OP posts:
L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 25/02/2022 22:40

@gossipgirlxoxox apparently implantation happens around the 9 day mark so I'd imagine that's what it is!

Panicking now!! Nice panic but scared.

How have you been today?

I would say so🤞🤞

I've had cramps on and off again all day and just went for a wee (tmi sorry) and had a bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper.
I'm not one who bleeds in between periods so surely this is implantation?!!!
