Implantation cramps-a fact or a myth?

[Amy5665]

Hello everyone,
Would be really helpful to hear your stories.
Did you ever had what is called implantation cramps and got your BFP ?How about having them but ending with a BFN?

2 cycles out of 4 i felt some cramps at exactly 9dpo...one ended with a BFN and now Waiting to see what this cycle is doing...so confused because I am sure I have never felt them before.

Baby dust to you all!

Well people always say they are a myth and that given the microscopic size of the embryo, it just isn't possible to feel anything.

That all makes sense except that I'm pretty sure I had them! Mine were exactly 7 days after ovulation (I had IVF so very sure if timings). I had very strong cramps for about 45 minutes then milder cramps the next day. And yes I was pregnant.

Having said that, when I started TTC I felt all kinds of cramps during my cycle that I'd never noticed before. I made a note of them all in an app so that the next month I could compare. It helped me to differentiate and not get my hopes up. Truth is I get all kinds of cramps and tweaks throughout the month that aren't implantation too.

Fingers crossed you get the result you want xxx

Myth. It's ovulation

The only cycle I didn't have implantation cramps on was the cycle I conceived I think a lot of it is just that you're so hyper aware of everything your body is doing when TTC. Since having DD and my periods returning, I've realised that I've always had those little niggly cramps and pains post-ov, I just ignored them before!

Well I can tell you my story. First time I got pregnant I had implantation bleeding and no cramps. Second time I had the strangest feeling!! It was like a deep pressure and it came on all of a sudden not like cramps, just a pressure feeling!! I knew I was pregnant but did a test bfn, did another test 4 days bfp!! Plus I wasn't being sensitive to the feeling of pregnancy because I wasn't trying to get pregnant.

Thank you all for replying.It really helps me not to get my hopes up like last month...
My body likes to play tricks 😅
I just thought it's too much of a coincidence feeling them at the exact dpo.
@kitk I'm pretty sure wAs not ovulation because I've been using OPK even after getting my peak(just in case) and they were negative around that time.

My only successful full term pregnancy out of 8 I had very strong cramping but it was more like 13dpo and I read that that can be the embryo burrowing deeper into uterus lining around the time your period is due. All my other miscarriages and ectopics I didn't have that x
