Implantation???

112 replies

Hi All,

I'm currently 6 dpo and experiencing really weird, sharp pains in my lower stomach. Not had anything like this before! They feel kind of like period cramps but then can't decide if it's chronic bloat?!!

Is this likely to be implantation or something else???

Interesting.. how many dpo are you and what are your cramps like? X

5dpo! My abdomen has been aching for days and I feel random sharp pains on my side.

I notice because I usually don't feel anything. My periods are easy going I don't suffer fortunately!

It's just too early for implantation I think and ovulation wouldn't last this long. So I'm lost!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

I literally feel exactly the same!! I was awake in the night with this weird side pain and then lower abdomen too like period cramps.

According to my app ovulation has just finished but I can normally tell with my body more than app but who knows! X

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 22/02/2022 12:36

Do you have any other symptoms? Would this be your first?

I can't remember whether I felt this aching the last time!

MrsYan · 22/02/2022 12:37

I also have these pains at 5DPO! What does in meaaaaaan!

Hopefully it's a positive sign for all of us!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

Sore breasts but idk if this is ovulation still!
This would be my first ☺️ and first month trying so obviously I'm being very hopeful/naive! X

Glad we're all together with this confusion!

Would this be your first? X

@gossipgirlxoxox @mrsyan

Nice to not feel like I'm going mad!

Don't have sore breasts! This would be my second. Finding it hard to remember how this went last time! The week before AF was due I started getting REALLY blue veins on my chest! From there I just knew!

How are you all feeling tonight? X

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 22/02/2022 20:25

@gossipgirlxoxox like I'm going mad. I keep checking in with myself to see how I'm feeling!

Stomach still achey and feel on and off nauseated! How am I going to last another 12 days....

I wonder how soon could we realistically test? Due AF March 4th!

How are u doing?

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

I can't tell if we're both imagining this or not!! I'm worried mine is more, realistically, bloat! I very rarely get bloated though. Still feel the same though with these cramps on and off! Just doesn't feel like normal cramps or tummy ache. Who knows!

I'm not due until the 8th!! I have really long cycles though x

@gossipgirlxoxox @L3tsD0Th1S2020

Sorry I got sidetracked by work!

This will be my second, my first is 8 now and not planned so I didn't symptom check or anything so have no idea what happened when!

My boobs also aren't sore at all and I ALWAYS get sore boobs by 3/4dpo... strange. Trying not to read to much into it. I am due on next Wednesday.

Will you both test or wait for missed period? X

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 22/02/2022 20:59

@MrsYan I'm going to let myself test the day before my AF is due! I figure it should show positive then if I am.

What about u?

MrsYan · 22/02/2022 21:14

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 I like to wait to see if AF shows up... I don't know why. I think the first month I was convinced I was pregnant so I tested and when it came back negative I was so sad! So I don't like doing that now 😂

Yes will more than likely show then, so that's a good plan! X

How are you both today?

I have no symptoms whatsoever and I'm 6dpo today! xx

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 23/02/2022 19:18

@mrsyan

Waves of nausea hitting me all day. I've really been put off my food. I've been this way for the past few days. Still had the aching in my lower abdomen too.

I know it's very early but I have no other reason to feel nauseated. I'm 6/7dpo I'm not 100% sure! I'm wondering if symptoms are showing up this early would it be worth taking a test at 8/9dpo. I've seen some people have and gotten BFP.

MrsYan · 23/02/2022 19:23

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 oooooo this sounds promising! How do you track ovulation? With opk's?

Yes potentially, just don't be put off if it did come up bfn that early as it wouldn't mean you were out for sure xx

@MrsYan

I'm feeling exactly the same as @L3tsD0Th1S2020 !

But I do feel extremely bloated and I'm wondering if mine is more bloat :( x

MrsYan · 23/02/2022 19:32

@gossipgirlxoxox ah damn! I'm the odd one out... I wanna feel sick! 😂😂 x

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 23/02/2022 19:35

@mrsyan @gossipgirlxoxox

I don't track. I just realised after the fact (going by dates) that we DTD during ovulation window.
Apparently if the cramps/sharp pains were implantation then I would have ovulated far earlier. But for that to be the case I would have had to DTD earlier too which I didnt.

Could I have ovulated 3 days before conception? In that case would I be further along than 6dpo?

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 @MrsYan

Looking at my app it looks like I ovulated two days ago!! But ovulation 'week' started last Friday?! Im so confused!!

Definitely sounds much more likely that it is implantation for you @L3tsD0Th1S2020 than me! X
