Does this sound like implantation cramps?

So I'm currently 7dpo I've have funny feeling cramps since I ovulated we DTD 4 days before ovulation, then the 2 days before ovulation.

Yesterday I had really bad menstrual cramps on and off all day then today no menstrual cramps but rather a pinching, tingling feeling. It feels like it's coming from my left ovary. It's very intermittent and sometimes feels quite sharp. It hasn't been that bad for an hour or so but was quite strong this afternoon. Does this sound like implantation? I haven't had any bleeding with it or spotting x

I have the exact same thing tonight so interested to see if its implantation or not. 6 days until I can take a test. When are you testing?

FearnRJ · 18/07/2019 19:36

@Snipples it's a very weird feeling.

I mite do a test on Sunday AF is due tues/weds x

Are you sure it's not ovulation pain as I get this exact pain when I ovulate and it will come and go. I don't think implantation pain is that severe?

FearnRJ · 18/07/2019 20:02

@Rosieposy89 no it's not ovulation as I've been tracking it.

Will have to wait and see then x

Sounds like it would be too late to be ov pain. I've had more twinges today 😬. Good luck OP

FearnRJ · 19/07/2019 12:00

@Snipples I was just about to message you to see how you are getting on.

Me too with some slight cramping. Have you had any spotting too? I haven't.

Good luck to you too x

No spotting here.

I could test from mon/ tues as well but I think I'm gonna hold off as I'm on hols on Friday and I've had chemicals/ early losses before so I sort of think I'll just put it out of my mind, enjoy the hols and then see if everything's ok when I get home.

Obvs will have a bit of a hint if no AF but I don't want to get caught up in the cycle of testing all the time (if poss).

When I was preg with my DD I had quite sore boobs which was another early giveaway but don't have that yet.

How do you feel?

FearnRJ · 19/07/2019 15:02

@Snipples my boobs are sore the day I ovulate then they are sore until AF arrives so that wouldn't be a symptom for me I don't think not at this stage anyway.

I do feel tired today but didn't sleep very well last night kept waking up really hot and had a headache today.

I've read that spotting can come a few days after cramps cause there is very little blood so takes a few days or some people have no spotting at all.

Trying not to symptom spot but it's soooo hard not to, don't remember having this sort of cramp before AF is due it's like a dull/pulling sensation I've got not as bad as pms cramps it comes and goes seems worse today though that yesterday and sometimes I feel a little tingle/pinch only very slightly though.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and you will have to let me know how you get on. It's funny how we have the same symptoms too x

I'm 6 dpo. Ive fallen into the trap of testing although I know it wont show yet. Ive had sharp pinching pain that only last a second and then its gone. Im paranoid that I will get my period any day now

Snipples · 20/07/2019 10:57

Did the same thing and tested with a digi of all things today. Of course negative. Not even FMU. May as well have ripped up a tenner 🤣

PixieLumos · 20/07/2019 11:12

Could be. Before I took a pregnancy test when I was pregnant with DS I had what I thought were period cramps - we were on holiday and I even bought emergency tampons thinking I was going to come on. No bleeding at all though.

FearnRJ · 20/07/2019 12:13

@PixieLumos I haven't had any spotting just these cramps. The sharp pain I got was more to the side rather than anywhere else x

PixieLumos · 20/07/2019 12:55

I wouldn’t think too much about spotting or not - I don’t think it’s really that common, especially from what other posters have said. Unfortunately you can’t know for sure until you can take the test - and I remember how frustrating that is!

FearnRJ · 20/07/2019 15:06

@PixieLumos Af is due Tuesday so I'm going to wait until then until I test if AF hasn't arrived x

OP posts:
Snipples · 22/07/2019 10:38

How you getting on OP?

No sign of AF here. But due tomorrow. No sore boobs either so really not sure.

squirrelnutkins1 · 22/07/2019 11:01

Watching with interest as I've had similar....

FearnRJ · 22/07/2019 14:17

@Snipples fingers crossed for you!

My boobs are really achey at the minute was that painful they kept waking me up last night also keep getting a really strange feeling in my abdomen today feels like pressure on it AF is due tomorrow or Wednesday but no sign of it yet not even period type cramps.

@squirrelnutkins1 how many DPO are you? It was a sharp ovary pain was at 7 DPO only lasted about 5 seconds but was really sharp x

OP posts:
Snipples · 22/07/2019 14:57

Oh Fearne that sounds very promising! Are you going to test?

FearnRJ · 22/07/2019 15:43

@Snipples I did one today and a BFP so going to wait and see what happens now x

OP posts:
FearnRJ · 22/07/2019 15:43

@Snipples BFN even sorry x

OP posts:
FearnRJ · 22/07/2019 17:39

@Snipples also got really watery CM too which is unusual for me so close to AF x

OP posts:
Snipples · 22/07/2019 18:32

So hard waiting! Probably still too early to test unless it was a frer. I'm testing on thurs if no AF I think.

Snipples · 23/07/2019 09:23

I am out.

Probably for the best as off to Thailand this Friday so at least I can relax and enjoy my hols (once AF buggers off).

Best of luck to you x

FearnRJ · 23/07/2019 09:46

@Snipples oh no! At least you can enjoy your holiday ❤️ good luck for next month!

I'll keep you informed x
