Are these implantation/early pregnancy cramps?

[CatLady93]

Hello everyone, first time posting! My partner & I only dtd once this cycle as we're not formally trying at the moment (but we would be overjoyed if we were pregnant). We did it 2 days before ovulation. I'm 7dpo today and have been having mild/dull cramps (sort of like period cramps but much milder) for the last couple of days. Has anyone had cramps like these before? Have you ended up being pregnant? I'll do a test if af doesn't show. She's due on Thursday next week. Any responses/experiences greatly appreciated ❤️

Hi, it would be a perfect time to conceive so it’s defo possible. I had slight cramping a week before my period was due and I’ve found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant so sounds similar to my experience x

@Mumof42021 Aw congratulations 🎉 Thank you that's really interesting and pretty much exactly where I'm at now. (I have a 12-13 luteal phase usually). Did you have any other symptoms around that time? I've had a couple of really short dizzy spells which I don't normally have. Don't know that I would have thought anything of them though if I didn't have pregnancy on the brain! X

I was same as you, I felt like all I was thinking about was pregnancy so was I imagining some things lol. But I defo had mild cramping a week before then within a day or 2 after that my boobs became really sore and heavy. This isn’t unusual for that time of the month for me though. But a noticeable difference I felt was my mood. I suffer really bad mood swings a couple of days before my period. Like, I’m an absolute nightmare! But that never happened. I felt slightly emotional but not like normal, I also felt more tired than normal. It’s only in the last couple of days now though I feel pregnant. So you might not have any symptoms now. I’d say try to relax, look after yourself and wait til day after you’re due to do a test... although this is going to be longest wait for you ever I bet 😂

@Mumof42021 I've noticed my boobs are a little bit sore but not crazily. So hard to know isn't it! Thanks so much, I'll do exactly that! Not hard anyway being in tier 4.. working our way through some boxsets 🤣

Keep me posted! X

I shall 😊
