I need some Help

Okay so my LMP was 3/6 and I'm pretty sure I Ovulated on 3/22 but since I had a 35 day Cycle last month my Calendar says I should have Ovulated around 3/27...but regardless around 7 and 8DPO I felt like I was having Implantation Cramping on my lower left side. It lasted about 2-3 days. Than I had mild Cramping for a day or so..nothing to really bother about.

Now out of nowhere tonight, my entire left side just Cramped up...it's Cramping almost like the day I get AF...just very pinchy, grumbly, tight, full, bubbly...etc. And its not unbareable but its more painful than it has been the last week. It goes from my left side to my midsection, but not on my right side. It seems to feel a little bit better when I get up and walk around. But when sitting down it just kinda pulses. And every once in a while I get a shot of pain throughout my entire stomach. I'm just concerned because I know this kind of Cramping is normal around Ovulation and Implantation but does this happen days after Implantation or in early Pregnancy?? Just a little worried and looking for answers. Thanks in advance!

Cramping is a normal pregnancy symptom. I can't really say exactly how it'll feel since every single person is different. The fact you feel it on one side is promising. Maybe if you're pregnant that is the side the embryo implanted on.

I understand that Cramping is a normal Pregnancy Symptom but how painful is it supposed to be? I guess everyone is different in that sense..but my Cramps seem to be getting a little more painful...so if the embryo implanted on my left side is it supposed to hurt or just be noticeable?

Gina, this is a lil tmi but, do you know if the inside is swollen? I've been trying to ask and only one said it could be possible. lol I don't know if the inside can be swollen during implantation.

Gina I went throught the same thing with my last pregnancy. I had mild cramping on one side for a few days and then really painful cramping in the evening. Then I just felt like I was going to have my period cramping and then I found out I was pregnant. Sorry sweetie I'm not very helpful. It could be implantion cramps! Fingers crossed!!! Good luck!

I don't know if the inside is swollen...I'm not sure how to even test that...I'm kinda scared to even try!

Mea-thank you so much. It was weird because the last couple days I had very mild Cramping then all of a sudden last night it was kinda painful and only on my left side. It sorta felt like the Cramps I get minutes before AF arrives...but she never came. Than I went to bed and woke up at 3:00 am starving! When I woke up it seemed the Cramps were gone, than I get up to pee and they were back...not as painful as last night but still there on my left side. At most I'm 12DPO so I guess it can still be Implantation...but I didn't know it could be this painful. That was very helpful, thank you!

Oh I hope so! Because up until last night my Cramps were very mild..and than last night they became pretty painful, but just on my left side. It felt like AF was coming..but it also felt a wee bit different, not as grumbly as AF. And usually when I get those Cramps AF comes within 5 minutes and she's not here.
Today its not nearly as painful but its still kinda there. I just wonder where I am in my cycle now because I thought I was already done with Implantation..so I'm a bit confused.

Thanks for that website, I'm gonna check it out! I hope this means we're Pregnant!
Are your Cramps painful too?

Gina~ have you tested at all? Ooooo...let me know I can't wait!!! :)

Yeah at some points they are.
I also read that some women get implantation cramps, but then still cramp after it's over b/c it's still during early pregnancy. So, I'm hoping this means it's gonna be a POSITIVE test! One women cramped from implantation up to 10 weeks!

I'm cramping right now actually, and it's on my left side. Just like I'm about to start my period. It'll move from left to the middle and then to the right, and starts all over again. I really hate when it's behind my belly button.

Yea I've been testing pretty much every other day...but with the IC's (internet cheapies) I've gotten a very very very faint line. Like I don't think anyone else would ever see it. Which makes me think I'm imagining it. I have an e.p.t but on poas.com it says it detects 50HCG so I'm holding off on using that until AF is due. So I'm stuck with the damn IC's..although I was thinking of heading out and picking up 2 FRER today just because I think there's something seriously wrong with the IC's.

At times I feel soo Pregnant!! And usually a week before AF I am soo bloated and I'm not. And I never get this many Cramps a week before AF. But I am just really confused with these Cramps right now....if I'm still Implanting, that would make sense why I haven't gotten a clear BFP yet! But jeez I feel like I Ovulated sooo long ago!

Yea I'm hoping I am but these Cramps are freakin me out! The way they come and go..sometimes painful sometimes not. I mean WTF...nothing is ever constant I guess! I'm buying a good test today and using it on Saturday morning.

I don't bloat until about 1-2 days before but I've been bloated since the cramps started.
And, lastnight it looked like my veins were sitting on top of my nipples! It's crazy. My face is still breaking out. Makes me mad. lol. I don't have breast tenderness/soreness though. I'm not too worried about it really. My cousin didn't have breast tenderness until she was about 6 weeks.

Last time I was Pregnant I didn't get sore breasts until I was almost 10 weeks so I'm not worried about that either. My nipples are very sore and swollen though. I've been looking for noticeable veins but none yet. Then again I didn't get those last time either.

BUT YES my forehead is still at war!! and I'm not WINNING! I never ever break out like this, not even when AF is here. Damn zits!

This is gonna drive us crazy until we get a BFP!

Oh Gina I know what you mean with the zits!! It sucks big time! I had it really bad when I was pregnant the first time when I m/c and I hated it! It just got worse even after I had my m/c! Ugh!!! So maybe that's a sign that you are prego!!!   :)

OMG didn't read this last night or see it today when I was dipping in and out!!
I have been feeling sickly since Monday and thought I was just desperate to feel something. Today it's much worse to the point where I am not put off food but have this nervy feeling all the time but have actually been gagging a couple of times (Hope you get what this is cause I call it gipping but no-one ever gets that) Anyway, had headache last night and I NEVER get headaches but could be all the work I've been doin. Anyway had twinges here and there but nothing unsual but about an hour ago my right side keeps getting stabbing pains. Only mild and nothing I can't cope with but it's like a pulse every couple of seconds and I thought immediately OOOOOOOhh implantation yipeee. (Not that I'm getting my hopes up).
Then this is the strangest thing, just rang my Mum cos she's got green fingers and asked her what daffodils are meant to smell like because I been searching all over the kitchen for two days cos I could smell cat poo and it's the daffodils, they smell repugnant to me and the kitchen wreaks of it but b/f can smell it ?!?!?!?
I'm 6DPO so too early to test for me.

You're kind of having the same thing I am! Except yours is on your right side...WEIRD!
My sense of smell has gotten sooo sensitive too. My husband jokes that I can smell our Cat going to the bathroom before he even goes! And when he is cooking something I'm like "are you burning it" he sniffs and says no..a second later checks on it and it's burning! I smell everything minutes before he even could smell it. It's very strange.

Well since you're experiencing the same side pains as me, maybe I did Ovulate later than I thought. If I Ovulated when my Calendar said I would than I would only be 7DPO today. I guess only time will tell!

Aren't there any other Pregnant ladies on this forum who have Cramped before??

It's not as bad as yours yet though Gina so I'm thinking this is a good sign because if the pains get worse then it could be because we are pregnant cos I'm lagging a bit behind you. I can NEVER tell when AF is due by cramping or anything, I get bloated when it comes. I only know its due by the day. Had a little cramping during AF since I came off of the pill but nothing that would stop you going out or anything. So it's not signs of that coming in two weeks....

On the downside, maybe I am more sensitive about what my body does because I am watching it all the time :(
