12dpo and cramps for a week

7 replies

Orangenightie · 08/06/2023 15:25

Hello

If anyone has any similar experience would be really helpful!

I’m 12dpo and around 5/6/7dpo I had a few days of cramps on and off (very low level) and then I’m having the same today. I’ve also been feeling nauseous a few days last weekend and now again today. AF due about Sunday, cycle is about 28-30 days long. I’ve had negative tests the last few days so I can’t work out if it could be positive but too early to tell, or if I’m somehow causing it with nerves! I don’t feel super stressed but thinking about it a lot.

I know implantation cramps are only a day or a few days at most so it feels like that’s not likely?

If anyone has similar experiences would be really grateful to hear! (I know I should just wait and test again the day after missed period but I’m thinking about it constantly anyway!)

Thank you Smile

Hi!

I’m in the same boat OP, more or less exactly the same! 10dpo, AF due on Sunday also cramping on and off since last Saturday so from around 5dpo, feel exhausted this week and really nauseous the last couple of days, again don’t know if I’m causing it or it’s in my head because I’m looking for it and thinking about it so much!

Suspected BFN’s 8dpo, 9dpo and today at 10dpo (though I am seeing indents/the faintest faintest faintest of lines on frer but the jury’s out on whether they’re anything as the majority think it’s indents which frer are notorious for)

Not much advice I can offer you but support whilst we go through the same thing and hope for our BFP’s x

heard everything from people getting their bfp’s at 8dpo and if you don’t have a hint of anything by 10/11dpo on sensitive tests then you’re out (and even those early lines can be evaps or CP so you don’t know until/if it gets strong) all the way to people who didn’t get their bfp until day of or after af was due and had bfn’s every single day until they suddenly didn’t at 13/14/15/16 dpo! So frustrating the wait and not knowing isn’t it!

Thanks for your reply! Good to know there’s someone else in the same boat though sorry you’re experiencing the same uncertainty! With all the cramping I keep thinking I’m coming in AF early and going to check, which is difficult when I’m out and about!

I keep seeing people talking about indents but I don’t know what they are! How do you know if it’s that and not a faint positive if it’s early?

Hiya, I’m 11 dpo and have had the cramping on and off since about 6. I’m feeling really nauseous today and sore boobs. I don’t know what to think really, but I’m trying not to test for a few more days

If it helps I have cramping but not like period they felt a bit different…from 7dpo and tested positive 10dpo with a clearblue early detection but it was that faint I didn’t believe it until a digital told me the following night! But it was a metallic taste 9dpo that made me test.

Laylattc · 08/06/2023 17:51

Yes! I really felt like I was coming on AF earlier and was convincing myself it must be coming and now the cramps have gone again.

i hate the tww it’s so confusing and so hard to think about anything else especially when you get to this stage where you could get your bfp or af any day!

indents are the bane of my life this month! I didn’t know what they were either until I started to get them the last few days then saw a few people have had them too on here and not been pregnant! Seems to be mainly on the frer but I think it’s the literal indent where the second line would be IF it was positive that space would fill with colour but apparently sometimes you can see the shadow of where the lines meant to be show up faintly and it drives you crazy as I used to think a line was a line and meant positive but mine are so faint you really have to look for them but have been there everyday since 8dpo and getting the tiniest tiniest tiniest bit more noticeable but it’s too early to know either way only way to find out is to see if it progresses in the next couple of days!

hope we all get our bfp’s in the next couple of days!!

Ah really, that’s the same tests I’m using! Congratulations Smile

Ah interesting, mine do feel more like period cramps, but then I don’t really get very strong cramps usually so maybe could feel similar.
