Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows where you should feel implantation pain? I had the strangest sharp pains today 3 times so far lasting about 10 seconds in the middle about 2-3 inches above my belly button -so quite high up. Any ideas if that could be implantation pain or not? AF due tomorrowish and I never normally get this type of pain before AF....
Hey Roquen,
I have been told that it can be a sign of implantation, however on the down side, I experienced that pain last cycle the day before I got AF...
I guess its 50/50. Do you temp at all? That may help with identifying whats happening?
The pains I had during implantation were really strong and painful cramping, but slightly different to period cramps and a lot stronger. At the time I thought I was O'ing late because they were similar to O pains, but a heck of a lot stronger and with Kat, I asked my hens for panadol, and with Jess, I ended up begging my mum for something stronger than panadol as it was that bad. Ended up taking panadine forte, which eased the pains a lot. Next morning I was back to normal with both girls and I didn't even think about being pg (well with jess, I said to DH last time I had the pains was when I fell with Kat, he told me I was being silly. But turns out I was right). I often get sharp stabbing pains, But it different with everyone. Some people don't get ov pains or period pains, I've always had bad both so I guess it was natural I'd get bad implantation pains. Funny thing is, I can't remember getting the implantation pains with my 3 m/c's during my late teens. Maybe I did, but never put it together and so forgot about it?
Goodluck, I hope it is a little blasty implanting for you!
what i had was very similar to period pain and i had a temp drop that morning with the pains in the avo
Thanks for the replies so far!
Its definitely different to period pain for me - I get v bad PP and its always very low down and crampy - where as this is very high up and sharp. It has settled a bit now but I just checked and have some very slight pink/red spotting.. no idea if its AF or something good :-)
Hi, I also had very strong implantation pain on day 27 of my first cycle. I had very bad lower back pain and severe abdominal cramping. It was the strangest feeling, not like period pain or anything else that I have experienced before. I also asked for some pain killers and was not sure what the pain was from. I thought I might have had a really bad urinary tract infection or ectopic pregnancy. I had to lay down, could not sit or walk around. I eventually took some panadol and fell asleep. The next day it was all gone. I did a pregnancy test and it was positive. I guess that means that it was implantation pain. It really confused me because I did not have it at all with my first pregnancy. Thank you so much for your posts. Its really reassuring to hear that other people have felt the same thing. :D ox
I never had pg confirmed as it was a chemical and AF arrived on time, but I experienced implantation pain as sharp piercing pain really low down and on the left. There was other cramping and low back pain for a few days after as well, but this was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Very local pain inside the bikini line ifykwim. After the initial piercing, I got a tugging sensation in the same area until AF came (also quite painful and heavy).
Anyone else experience something like this?
Spiceoflife - I had that same pain with my mc early this month. I had really bad O pain - from the area's around both ovaries (I'm guessing I O'd twice at this point), I couldn't walk, couldn't sleep, and had to take really strong painkillers and a heat pack just made it worse.
I then had stinging pain on the left side of my lower abdo (about 2 inches below and slightly to the left of my bellybutton) the day I went in to get a bHCG done at 11dpo, along with a temp drop, which 4 days later came back negative (the same day I had a positive HPT with 2ndMU) AF was 1 day late by this stage.
When AF was 3 days late I did another HPT in the evening, and it came up with a faint positive too. I had severe lower back pain that night and when I woke up the next morning (sorry TMI) I was bleeding with lots of black clots (day 1), had an extremely heavy flow for the next 2 days (days 2 & 3) with heaps more black clots, then one day of light flow with a few black clots which ended with spotting (day 4), then a bit of pink on the TP the next morning and nothing after that.
Took a week for my HCG levels to get down to 27, and another half week to be back down to zero.
You're not alone darl.
I also had a chem back in early January as well.
I hope that helps :)
Hi Jenna
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sorry for your losses.
I found that I got twinges in exactly the same site as what I can only think was implantation in my next cycle after the chem pg. I wonder if not all of it cleared? This last cycle was more normal for AF pain but more clotting?? I don't know what's going on.
Wishing you the best for a BFP when you're ready to try again.
