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???

@gossipgirlxoxox I don't know. I completely put it out of my thoughts earlier today but then I started feeling waves of nausea and it's hard to ignore! I think I'll test sooner. I won't rule anything out but I'd rather know sooner

When are you both going to test?

You both sound much more likely than I do x

MrsYan · 24/02/2022 21:03

@gossipgirlxoxox keep positive! I have no symptoms at all, I normally get really sore boobs straight after O but nada. Nothing! So I am struggling to stay positive too!

I don't test, I wait for a missed period, once I get that I will test. How about you?

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 how many DPO are you now? It's deff a good sign! X

@MrsYan

I'm still thinking next Friday.. I don't want to be disheartened by doing it early but got to remember this is only month one of ttc so I'm being a bit naive really x

Hi ladies. I had stomach pains last week also but I thought it was trapped gas/ibs. I've been bloated everyday since Valentine's Day and had 2-3 of this pain last week. I've also had very dry corners of lips and pimples around my lips which I've never had! I'm scared to test early too after a miscarriage last year. Really hope we all get our BFPs.

@gossipgirlxoxox

Hi *@Quadrilingual*

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

How many dpo are you? X

Thanks x I don't track ovulation but assuming I did ovulate on day 14 I am 13dpo and AF is due today or tomorrow. Have you had any other symptoms?

I've had cramps on and off again all day and just went for a wee (tmi sorry) and had a bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper.
I'm not one who bleeds in between periods so surely this is implantation?!!!

@gossipgirlxoxox

I would say so🤞🤞

Panicking now!! Nice panic but scared.

How have you been today?

OP posts:
L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 25/02/2022 22:40

@gossipgirlxoxox apparently implantation happens around the 9 day mark so I'd imagine that's what it is!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

If so that would mean, as predicted, my app is wrong with my ovulation as I'm sure it happens a few days earlier than it says... x

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 25/02/2022 22:41

@gossipgirlxoxox

On and off nauseous but overall feel like myself!

I'm thinking this was all in my head. I can't explain the nausea but no other symptom has appeared!

L3tsD0Th1S2020 · 25/02/2022 22:42

@gossipgirlxoxox

Those apps are just a guide really! We're not machines!

Delighted for you...it's promising 😊

@L3tsD0Th1S2020

It's so hard to imagine the cramps though! In my opinion it is anyway. Stomach ache I can easily bring on and imagine but cramps not so... x

MrsYan · 26/02/2022 07:41

Hey girls! Sorry I have been absent, had a busy few days off work 😊 how are we all?

@Quadrilingual welcome! Did AF show for you?

@gossipgirlxoxox when is AF due roughly? What's the spotting like now? Fingers crossed in IB!!

@L3tsD0Th1S2020 I don't think we imagine these symptoms, I just think sometimes we look into them too much. How are you today? I feel completely like myself, I have no normal things like sore boobs, cramps etc like I normally do in lead up to AF 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ its such a confusing time isn't it! X

@MrsYan

Couple of tiny tiny spots in my knickers but other than that nothing else.. AF is due anywhere from next Thursday/Friday to the middle of the week after. My cycles have always been long around 34-36 days but sometimes I do have a more normal length so it's always really difficult to tell. X

OP posts:
MrsYan · 26/02/2022 09:01

@gossipgirlxoxox fingers crossed! I'm excited for you! It's hard when your cycles vary a bit. Mine vary from 26-31 days, that's why I test with opk's so I can work out when I ovulate so then I know when af is due.

I did try BBT but I went to bed worry about taking my temp which meant I would have a rubbish nights sleep so wasn't very accurate lol! X

Thanks! No AF! I'm on day 28 so could still show up! I'm constipated and gassy still. Bloated all last week. I get this when AF is due as well but the dry skin and spots around lips is new. Could go either way really!

Any more symptoms with you guys?

MrsYan · 26/02/2022 16:15

Hey @Quadrilingual sounds promising, when will you test?

The only symptom I have that is really playing on my mind is lack of sore boobs... I always get super sore boobs after O. But they just don't hurt? As this is completely out of the norm I don't know what to make of it? I'm 9dpo today!

How are you both @gossipgirlxoxox @L3tsD0Th1S2020 ? xx
