Hey everyone,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but am just trying to figure whether what i'm feeling is implantation cramping or just something else (maybe from just sitting wrong?). Have started having VERY mild sharp twinges in my pelvis, right in the middle beneath my lower stomach and above my groin. Started experiencing them on and off last night (at 7dpo) and now this morning (now 8po). They're so light, not at all painful (Unlike AF cramps which always have me in agony!). More like a weird tugging. AF isn't due for another 6 days and never get cramping this early. Never had this before, so if anyone has any insights or experienced the same thing, i'd be grateful.

Have been TTC for 3 months now so still very new as to what to expect lol. Trying not to test until 12dpo to be certain!
Thank you very much guys!
 
I didn't have anything until after I got my bfp. For about a week afterwards I had random cramps on and off that felt like a light period pain. Enough to make me say 'ouch'. There would just be one and then it would go away again and I'd have one a couple of hours later.

I suppose that was to do with implantation?
 
I might not be the best help because I had an early mc, but before that I was getting these weird cramps like pulling on the front of my uterus... Really different pain to my usual cramps. Felt like a pinch rather that a pulling sensation.

Ah, so you had the same feeling after you bfp? How many dpo did you test? Just have to wait until I can test to find out (thinking 12dpo with a frer maybe? Unless that's too early) But good to know I might not be imagining things. Thanks!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mc :( That's awful. Thanks so much for replying though and for the insight. Sounds like your experienced around about the exact same thing i'm feeling, so good to know i'm might not be overthinking things. Or maybe I am lol. Will have to wait and see I guess!
Good luck to you and take care xx

I waited until the day my period was due (so 14dpo) as we weren't expecting to get pregnant that cycle. We were supposed to be starting IVF when my period showed up, haha, but thankfully it never did :)
 
I started testing at 8dpo and from 8dpo-11dpo they were completely negative. Then on 11 and 12dpo I had some minor cramping. Nowhere near as bad as AF, and it was odd because I never get cramping any other time during my cycles. Tested at 12dpo, still negative. Thought for sure I was out. Got a faint positive with FRER on 13dpo. On 14dpo it registered positive on a digital test.
 
I didn't get implantation cramps until way into pregnancy after 5 weeks. x
 
I had AF type cramps from 6dpo onwards with my second. Might be a good sign! Fingers crossed!x
 
With my 1st I had one really sharp cramp that lasted all of 3mins at 5dpo, then AF cramps and a bruised uterus feeling the next day. Then extra strong AF cramps the day after that lasted the next few weeks.

This time I had no implantation cramping, just the regular cramps when AF should've come.
 
I never had implantation cramps however this pregnancy I did have implantation bleed at 6dpo which made me test early. Good luck
