    Wink Rib Pain?

    HI there, i feel a bit silly asking this but i am experiencing some pains under my ribs. Well they are just below my ribs mainly on the LHS. It feels like something is touching them for eg if you are wearing something tight around your waist and it is digging in iykwim???

    It started yesterday but this afternoon is increasingly worse. It's not painful, just annoying. It goes away sort of when i sit up really straight and arch my back.

    My question is - has anyone else experienced this and gone on to be pregnant?? (obviously wishing for YES answers lol). I'm a bit bloated and am having a few little cramps but i am only 5dpo!?!?

    What could it be? BTW it's not heartburn or indigestion

    TIA

    Are you sure how far past O you are as this sounds a bit similar to my O pain. Just a thought! Best of luck to you regardless.

    No sorry, I have had rib pain as you describe but not been UTD. I have had muscles go into spasm and pull a couple of ribs a bit out of whack causing the pain - a trip to the osteopath usually fixes it. Also can be related to tightness in the upper back.

    Fingers crossed that it is a good sign for you

    Thanks for the replies ladies. Jac yes i am very sure of when i O'ed as I am on clomid and tracking - i thought it might have been that too. It's much better now but it got worse before it got better. I was really hoping it was something pregnancy related as i have never felt it before but it seems more than likely not
    Ticklish thanks to you also
    Oh well another day another phantom symptom

    I'm not quite the same, but I hope it means good news for you.
    I have been getting LHS rib pain, I can only describe it as a cramp, it goes when i sit up straight and have to sit with pillow behind my back. I have had it for the past 5-7 weeks, though I'm a fair way on in my PG.
