implantation cramps..??

[mistybunz]

what do they feel like?  

is it the same kinda feeling you get during AF?

i had a weird cramp like i've never felt before the other day, it lasted for a few minutes and went away and i haven't felt it since...it was more on the left side than the right

i too with previous pregnancies mistook implantation cramps and bleed as my period as it did feel just the same, actually my implantation cramps felt a little more painful than af, which is mostly why i just dismissed it from my mind as being implantation and to my shock when i tested i was 8.4 weeks gone, but still suffered crams and af i m/c 4 days later.

we are ttc and i do get excited every month my boobs get sore and i get cramps early on like 11 days before af due, but haven't been blessed with a bfp just yet.  
i think latrice's idea of recording symptoms would be a great idea and something i am keen to do myself.

i found the following site that is free and can do all the tracking for you, which is great for me as i wouldn't know where to start.   good luck hope you get bfp soon !

The only thing i can suggest is to make note of when you have unsual cramps, pains etc. because sometimes AF cramps can be similar to other type of pains.  If you never felt the pain b4, then maybe it could mean implantation.

For example, i thought i was having implantation cramps 2-3 cycles ago. But i started keeping track of pains i would have, come to find out, 4-5 days after ovualtion i get sore boobs, back pain, cramp like feelings and twinges. But i never paid attention to it bcuz i was not ttc until after the m/c.

So just keep track of things bucz u will b amazed of things your body goes threw.  Like now im like 8dpo and been having cramps and twinges but im not going to get to excited unless i miss my cycle.

Good luck, hope its a BFP for you ladies SSBD

I had them since 4dpo and I am now 17w pregnant...they were isolated to my left side, low and not real 'crampy' but somewhat like a constant cramp...I don't know how else to describe it but it was different than period cramps (for me at least) and I knew I was pregnant since I never felt them before.

I been trying to find this out for a few days. I been having dull light cramps since 6 dpo and today on on 11 dpo. 6 and 7 dpo it was all day now it on and off during the days and on day didn't get it at all. They don't hurt it just there almost feels like AF cramps to me but very dull. I had it in my whole uterus not just one side and lower backach and a lot of girls been saying the timing and the ways I said it sounds that it sounded like implantation cramps so who know have to wait few more days see if AF shows up if not I be on here tell you it was implantation cramps
