Implant cramping?

**kaz225** · May 7th, 2008, 11:00 AM

Hi!

Brand new here, not sure if this is the right place to post this question.

Last October, OH and I suffered a miscarriage and after a few months decided to try again. I have been keeping track of my cycle and have been very busy at the appropriate times.
AF appeared 16/4, and ovulated approx 30/4/08. At time of ovulation we DTD twice a day, 3 days before and on the day of ovaulation and once the day after.
Fast forward to Monday 5/5/08 and I have noticed that I am experience some slight cramping, especially on the left and a feeling of heaviness and a killer backache. Now Wed morn and still have an ache down there and my back is still sore. I sneezed Mon night and I was doubled over in pain lol.
I am trying not to get my hopes up that I could possibly be pregnant, but from what I have researched this is a good indication that I am.
Anyone care to share their stories and also help me put my mind at ease?

Thanks in advance

Just to add on that it is now Thursday afternoon and I still have the backache and a general heavy feeling down there. AF is due 15th May. How soon can I do a test?

Thanks

Hey Kaz, so by my calculation you're 8DPO? If so I guess it could be implantation. In which case I suppose you could use an early HPT in a couple of days (10DPO?) and you may get an accurate result. However you could get a false negative at that stage, may be best to wait until Sunday (~11DPO?).

Good luck!

Thanks tree tops. I guess I am just impatient.
All the best to you

I totally understand! Me too

I hate the TWW, and I hated waiting until 12w when I was pregnant.

ETA I also hated waiting for O day!! Just impatient fullstop when it comes to wanting a baby!

I know what you mean. DH and I have trying for 4 years for #3. When we lost our bub last October, we thought that it was all over for us. My age is a factor though, 37 in a couple of weeks and also battling PCO so it really was a struggle to have the 2 DB's we have now.
I am trying to stay positive and that I will be blessed again.

I will be sending buckets of baby dust your way.
:goodluck2:

Hi Kaz,

I'm brand new here too. And like you, almost exactly like you, I've been experiencing some cramping, backache, heaviness, extreme tiredness.

I'm about 10 or 11 DPO, not too sure as my cycle is either 28 or 29 days. I did a test this morning (I'm excited) and got a BFN.

I'm going to wait until Sunday (1 or 2 days past period due) to test again. That is unless my AF arrives before then...

I'm not too sure about your dates but implantation can happen anywhere between 6 and 12 days I think!

Good luck - any updates since your last post??

HI and welcome.!!!

I hope that you receive the news you want.

Just to update, I did an early pt this morning (2nd wee of the day). I left it for about 15 mins and tha faintest of lines has appeared in the second window. DH and I are not getting excited by this at the moment. Will do another test in a day or two and see what happens then. Secretly, I am hoping this is it!!!

**OceanPrincess** · May 13th, 2008, 11:46 AM

Thanks Kaz!

That's interesting about the faint line - the test I did this morning I looked at after 5 mins and then threw away. Should I dig it out of the bin tonight?? Hmm!

Keep us updated!

**kaz225** · May 13th, 2008, 11:57 AM

If it was me I would dig it out now and have another look

Just the way I am I'm afraid.

Let us know how you get on!!!

Well ladies, what's news????
Don't keep us hanging!!!

**kaz225** · May 15th, 2008, 03:21 PM

Hi
AF was due today and no sign of her!!!!

I took yet another test (4 total now) and the second line has been there and getting darker each time.
I have booked myself into the doc;s next week for the usual blood tests. Once they come back OK, I will feel a bit better about jumping for joy!!
