Cramping 2-6DPO? Can you really feel the egg moving?

As the title says really - this is just mostly out of interest, looking for a bit of a discussion. I am actively TTC but no hope for this month.

Last month I had mild cramping from 2 DPO to about 6-7DPO. I did end up with a BFP but sadly ended in a chemical. I've had the exact same cramping this month which has almost stopped today 7DPO.

Is it really possible to feel the fallopian tubes contracting? Anyone else had experience with this? It's not something I can ever remember having before but I am more in tune with my body and paying attention to things since TTC.

Honestly i very much doubt it....
Perhaps an early implantation around 6dpo?
Or just post ovulation ovary twinges?

But no i don’t think you can feel an or even few eggs move in ovary as the size is microscopic

@Michette I was just curious on others' experiences. I should have worded it better, not the actual egg movement but more can the contractions in the Fallopian tubes cause mild cramping. And have others felt cramping when they had a BFP as oppose to when they didn't. I'm more intrigued than anything.

It can't be implantation for me as the cramps only lased 2DPO to 6DPO and implantation wouldn't usually be until 7-10 DPO.

Didn’t feel anything personally when i got my BFP apart from uterus cramps from 12dpo.

This month definitely had sharp pain in left tube and cramps 8-9dpo but BFN

So i really don’t know what to think of them...

Hello
I had constant cramps from 4DPO and got my BFP 1 week before my period was due. The cramping continued and felt as though my period was coming. Unfortunately I had an ectopic and had to have my tube removed at the beginning of this month.
I think it's so important to be in tune with what symptoms you're having. I was and it technically saved me in a way, I could have ignored it and my
tube could have burst!
I'd keep a note of what symptoms you're having and seek advice if anything doesn't feel 'right'

@BMWL thank you for sharing and so sorry to hear you went through that!

I do keep a track of all symptoms I get every day on Ovia and Glow. I had the exact same cramps last month before i got my BFP but I don't ever recall having them before. I'm not trying to over analyse too much it's just nice to hear what other people have experienced.

@Beau20 I found the Ovia app great.
Once it's ok for me to TTC again I'll be using Ovia. We used it prior to this pregnancy and got pregnant first go, it just obviously wasn't meant to be!
Best of luck!
