Twitching in uterus during TWW?????

91 replies

TTC1992 · 04/03/2024 14:59

Hi :)

Hoping to find others who have experienced this (and hopefully got their BFP!)

So, I have been experiencing a fluttering/twitching in my uterus pretty relentlessly for the past 5/6 days (since ovulation). I fully understand that it’s easy to become a bit obsessed with symptom spotting in the TWW, but I know for 100% certain that this is something I have never, ever felt before (and it is definitely not in my head - I can physically feel it and it will happen even if I’m not thinking about it!)

Has anyone else ever experienced this? It’s kind of like an eye twitch, no pain whatsoever. It’s driving me crazy!

I had the twitchy thing before I got a BFP with ds (who is now 22). I can remember it vividly as I never had it before or since. The only way I can describe it is it felt as if someone was sewing inside me and pulling gently upwards on the thread! I hope you get your result OP.

@ImpulsiveFlake thank you! Do you remember if you got this right after ovulation, or was it after implantation? Did it carry on all the way up to your bfp? Mine has stopped now (only 8DPO), so I’m worried it was just nothing 😞 I’m having zero other symptoms.

@Gillseybear I am also a lot bigger and I also carry all my weight in my stomach so I know I won't show too much when I eventually get preggo.

I think I am imagining it too as I have read that other people taking pregnacare have also been having cramps outside of af. I normally don't so, who knows. Only time will tell. I really hope it is a sign for both of us x x

Yeah that is the good thing as it would allow me to keep it on the downlow.
Yep I hope it is a sign for both of us.

Sending baby dust your way!!

@Gillseybear That's exactly what I am like. I have the cramping right now and it doesn't feel normal. It's not hugely painful but it feels like a fuzzy, buzzing feeling with thw odd sharp pain. I really hope this is implantation 🤞🤞

I am glad I am not the only one. I thought I was going insane. Being bigger it literally feels like my stomach is bruised and every time I move it's like a bruise being squeezed. Then to top it off I just got home had a coughing fit (cold weather and asthma) which lead to me throwing up.

I want to be hopeful but at the same time I worry that i am just imagining things.

@TTC1992 I bloody hope so but it's still early days and we have only been trying since Christmas. So it's still super early. I just genuinely feel super off and I hate it so much. Just wish answers were more forthcoming than waiting around.

The think that's really getting to me is that I do not ever get PMS symptoms. I just get awful cramps the first couple of days I am on. So this is what's telling me that it may be something more but we will see I guess. I shall keep you guys updated.

@Gillseybear let’s hope the fact that something feels off is a positive sign for you! Holding off on testing is so hard. I’m telling myself to not test until Friday, and even then I’m only around 10DPO! I’m not feeling confident anymore though, the twitching has completely stopped and I feel zero symptoms 😞 I feel that I will be coming on here to say it’s a BFN.

@Gillseybear I really do understand 😞 this whole thing is so stressful, and then I worry that being stressed is going to affect my chances! It’s like a vicious circle.

Honestly it really is and it sucks. Something is off and it's just not normal but it could be literally anything right now. It's just a waiting game.
I am trying to hold out until next week to test as do not want to get my hopes up

Grace017 · 05/03/2024 15:08

I’ve took another one of these strips I’ve had as I haven’t time to go buy a test, what youse think.

@Grace017 I definitely see a line there, but can’t tell if it’s an evap! Maybe take an early response test to try to get a darker line?

Grace017 · 05/03/2024 14:11

Is this a positive line or an evaporation line, debating buying a second test. Don’t want to get my hopes up

Thanks for your reply @Jessforless ! I’m going to try to hold out until Friday (around 10DPO). Did you have the feeling as early on as me, or was it just before you got your BFP? Did it last very long? The twitching has stopped today so I’m worried I was getting my hopes up for nothing 😞

OP posts:
Jessforless · 05/03/2024 13:42

When are you testing?

Jessforless · 05/03/2024 13:41

I remember having this feeling before my BFP too!

@BeckyPfromLeeds sorry to hear it’s a BFN this morning! But fingers crossed it’s just a little too early to test and that you implanted late. Cramping and no sign of AF surely has to be a positive sign! God, the wait is just horrendous..

I tested again this morning (11DPO) and BFN. I'm still having the cramping feelings though and no sign of AF.

@TTC1992 I wouldn't count yourself out until AF x x

Gillseybear · 05/03/2024 12:58

So do I. It bloody sucks. My hormones are all over the place at the moment and it's stressing me out.

Haven’t had the feeling at all today! Starting to think maybe it was nothing - god I hate the TWW and symptom spotting 😞

@TTC1992 thank you so much I appreciate it. The MC's have been hard but I am just taking it steady and not focusing on it to much. It's why I am not focusing on the TTC.

Yes these are completely new symptoms for me and I have never had them before. It's such weird feeling as I have had 3 MMC's in the past and never had this before. My first symptom with all of them was nausea. So this is Hella weird for me.

In terms of tracking, I use flo and just work based on that. I tried tracking properly but it just got me stressed and disappointed every month. So I'm taking the hands off approach from now on.

@Gillseybear I really keep my fingers crossed for you! That sounds promising. And I’m so sorry to hear about the MMCs 😞Completely understand about not wanting to track ovulation, it’s easy to become a bit obsessive with it and it can definitely become really stressful! Are you going to hold out testing until AF is due??

I am in a similar boat to you OP but instead of uterus cramps. It's lower back/ hips aching. Today my tummy feels like it is bruised.

Currently 7DPO and it's started on the last couple of days. Not 100% sure when I ovulated as do not really track because it stresses me out.

Really hope you get your bfp @Gillseybear ! Is this a different symptom for you? Tracking is definitely stressful, but I’m glad I started doing it as even though I have a regular 28 day cycle and my app would say I ovulated on CD14, I don’t actually ovulate until CD15-17! X

Yep, it stopped not long after getting the BFP and then pregnancy just carried on as normal. I mentioned it to someone who said she’d had the same thing and she was also pregnant. It seemed like a very specific thing that happened in some pregnancies and I’ve never felt anything like it before or since so I’m pretty sure it was an implantation thing.

@Hamster7909 thank you. I’m praying this is it! I get my hopes up every month, but this is so strange/different that I can’t help but think it might finally be my month. Really hoping it means the same for me as it did for you and your friend! X
