Implantation cramps

[onethingonly]

Only 6dpo but yesterday had some "stitch" like pains in my right side and now this morning I feel like I've been doing 100 sit ups in my sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be implantation or am I just imagining things 😅?

@purplecolouroffunk How can I find your thread about luteal spotting?

@CurlyWurly1991 ohh I missed your message about your bfp! Keeping fingers crossed for a successful journey 🤞🏼.

Welcome H05! 👋🏻

God that’s so frustrating?! Like thousands of women have short luteal phases. What else would you call it 😂

I’m actually waiting for the results of my progesterone test and hoping they’ll give me some of those if it is low. I’m guessing yours was low?

I’ve never actually checked my cervix! I’d be interested to do it but I usually always have quite long nails so feel like I wouldn’t be able to without damaging it. The thought makes me think wince 😂

I’m totally with you on the early bleeding. I don’t see how it can be a positive thing and feel like it must be progesterone dropping? BUT there are a couple of stories in the luteal thread where some had a lot of early bleeding and still got BFPs and healthy pregnancies! It’s really reassuring to read.

This is it here:

Ah cool - they’re probably the ones I’ve been using as got from Amazon. But nothing positive yet. Could be a little early still though.

Eee I have everything crossed for you!!

@H05 @purplecolouroffunk i tried once but don't think my fingers are long enough/cervix is too high.

Hi, can I join?!

I had the tiniest amount of pink CM at 6 dpo and have had on/off cramping ever since. I'm 12 DPO at the moment and would have tested by now if it wasn't for my HCG injections which would give me false positives at the moment. A host of pregnancy symptoms but of course they're PMS symptoms too!

AF due on Tuesday or Wednesday 😬

Hey @purplecolouroffunk and @JuniperandI! I’m also having spotting when I go to the loo and brown discharge. I’m CD33 and I think I’m 7DPO… I’ve been spotting for 3/4 days now and haven’t had this amount before.. not sure if it’s good or bad

Hi @JuniperandI! 👋

You sound similar to me although I’ve had some pink blood over 4 days. Plus cramping basically since ovulation. I’m 10dpo. AF due Wed/Thu for me.

Arghh that must be so hard having to wait!!

Hey @Limmers14!

So hard to tell with the bleeding isn’t it? I’m the same as you with pink bleeding since about 6dpo. Seems to be tapering off today.

Have you had any cramps?

@purplecolouroffunk some little twinges but nothing major. What about you?

@Limmers14 I’ve been having cramps every day which is usual for me. Sort of twinges and some pulling. Yesterday I felt almost a cold sensation in my abdomen along with the cramps - it’s hard to explain! Boob shooting pains too but not the usual heavy feeling (yet!).

I tested 9 and 10dpo but both negative. Think I’m going to leave it now to see if AF arrives on Wed/Thu.

@purplecolouroffunk Negative here at 9/10 dpo too 😢. Feel awful tho, nausea, headache, sore boobs, pelvic fullness, nosebleeds. Probably totally unrelated. I need to stop testing though I'm literally pissing money down the toilet 😬😂.

@purplecolouroffunk @onethingonly both of your symptoms sound very promising so try and hold off testing until AF is due…. Fingers crossed for you both !!

I had these cramps before I knew I was pregnant and was told it's from a cyst on the ovary that often accompanies early pregnancy.

Morning, how's everyone doing? Testing still or holding off?

I'm only 7DPO, I was one of the ones that felt like I had done 100 sit ups early last week but that was only the day after ovulation though 🙈

But this morning I had spotted little bit, I'm worried I'm starting my period, but 7DPO is so early and that concerns me around chances of getting pregnant as in 4 cycles only 1 was longer than 10DPO. I got to 13DPO last month, so I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding! I've never had spotting before, though I've been on pill for 15 years and only been off it for 6 months. Fingers crossed it's just spotting.

Hey @KRRiley!

How are you doing? I've tested the past couple of days and had all negative. Stupid I know 😂 I'm 12dpo now so it's soo hard not to test but I've said to myself I'll wait to see if AF comes. Should be Wed by Premom and Thu by Flo.

Ooh yes we were the same with the sit ups feeling 1dpo!

I've had light pink bleeding since about 6dpo and it's just not stopped. It's really light now and only when I wipe - sort of looks more like CM with pink in it. I usually have that from around 7dpo but it's usually a bit heavier, or stops for a few days which it hasn't done this month. At first I thought it had counted me out but I have some other symptoms which are making me wonder.

One of the symptoms is that I've had low-level cramping all the way since ovulation, with some stabbing and twinges. Unusual for me! Anyone else feeling that?

Also @KRRiley 7dpo is within the 'normal' implantation window so it could definitely be implantation! Specially since you're not usually prone to spotting.

Think I may be out. 11dpo and not a squinter in sight. AF due on Thurs/Fri but already feeling crampy on and off. Strange because I'm usually quite regular +/- 1 day 🤔.

Tested this morning but this will be my last unless by some miracle AF doesn't make an appearance.

Hoping for lots of +++ for everyone else 🙏🏻

Update from me 11 dpo - still having pink discharge.. however today a bit more brown which is normally how my period starts so thinking full flow will come in the next few days!

Very odd that this cycle I have had pink discharge since 4dpo! Never had this before but think I am totally out as the pink discharge hasnt stopped!

Got everything crossed for the rest of yous <3

@onethingonly did AF make an appearance for you yet?

@H05 I’m exactly the same!! I’ve had pink bleeding every day since about 6dpo and it’s just never stopped. It’s really light, ever so slightly heavier some days, and have never needed a tampon or anything. I haven’t had any brown yet although that’s not usual for me.

It’s totally making me think I’m out but I’ve had a lot of new and weird symptoms this month so holding on to hope.

I can’t remember if you said you’re a normal spotter? (I am!) Too many threads 😂

AF is due for me today. If she doesn’t make an appearance I’m going to test tomorrow morning.

@purplecolouroffunk no mine hasn't arrived yet! Minimal symptoms now though, including the breast pain which usually lasts right up to my period starting.

However my AF due date is today on Premom app but I've only been using that a couple of months so not sure it is accurate. My iPhone app says 24th feb. Last test I did was Mon or Tues and definitely negative then.

@purplecolouroffunk AF has come! So not the month for me.

I usually spot for a few days but not since 4dpo before!

We keep going haha! I am not holding out much hope for it to happen naturally so focused on help that we should get in the summer!

Has anyone tried Maca Root heard so many things about it!

Sorry to hear @H05 . How long have you been trying?

@onethingonly I came off the pill in March 2022!
