What did your implantation feel like?

[Sarah5678]

Hello everyone!
I decided the give the opks a miss this month as I felt the pressure was getting a little too much and things were becoming forced. So this month we have just been dtd regularly and see what happens. I have long cycles and roughly due my period next weekend but I have been up during the night with cramping feelings in my left side which have been coming and going. I am just wondering what other people's experiences of implantation bleeding are incase this is possibly it? It does feel a little like menstrual cramps so maybe af coming early!

Hi @Sarah5678, I'd like to know people's experiences of this too! I'm 9dpo and last night I had the weirdest cramps in my lower abdomen - they lasted for a few minutes and felt like pins were being stuck into my uterus then drawn sideways slightly. I've had a really achy lower back since yesterday and had more of the pin pricks, but milder, later last night and this morning.

Did a test this morning which was obviously a bfn; I have a short LP so expecting AF either today or tomorrow but no sign of her yet.

I think I felt this with my first (although hard to say for sure). I was certainly not thinking about it as was just running out the door to netball. I got a random sharp (not painful) stabbing pain in my side and then stomach ache for a little while after. I remember feeling strange but tried to shake it off (as I'm a massive over thinker).

Good luck x

I'd like to know too! I'm 9DPO today, and feeling weird things down there! Also really nauseous.

My periods have been odd since I had my first...25 days one month and 28 days the next...it has been like this for months.
Today is day 29 and still nothing. I am having cramps so wondering if it is period about to happen or early pregnancy.
I am resisting the urge to test until a few days have passed.

My implantation bleeding was literally the tiniest bit when i wiped it was pinkish. I had constant cramps/dull ache in my lower abdomen very very similar to period cramps. I thought it was period cramps and was waiting for my periods which never arrived! implantation bleed actually happened in week 6 of pregnancy.

I didn't have implantation bleeding but I believe I felt implantation. I had sharp, stabbing pains in my lower back (left hand side) that came and went over the space of 2 hours. That was 6DPO and I got my BFP at 9DPO x

I felt nothing and had no blood. And I was pregnant with twins.

I felt implantation while reading it bed at around 6dpo, it was a very sharp and painful stabbing feeling that lasted a second. Exactly the same feeling a minute or so later. It was super quick but painful.
It was twins.

Not sure if I felt any but I did feel a strange pain which, with hindsight, might have been it. It felt like a firework went off in my right ovary!

I always say that I swear I felt the sperm hit the egg! It was a while ago now and I can't remember what it was I felt. I remember feeling dizzy and lower abdomen was sensitive. I remember driving home from work and having to unzip my trousers as it felt so sensitive.

I’m boring I know but are talking about a TINY speck (TIIIIINY) Implanting in a space the size of a large fleshy pear 😆 You will not feel that. Honestly, I couldn’t feel my daughter the size of an apple moving inside me so i’m Pretty sure this wouldn’t register for most people. It is more likely to be bowel movements tbh or hormonal fluctuations.

See, I TOLD you I was boring 😆 I love the idea though. It’s a really Romantic one.
