Cramping post ovulation

[MelliMel18]

I am now 4 days past ovulation, and i am experiencing cramps in my lower abdomen.  Its almost like af cramps, but not as severe.  It is very uncomfortable.  Could this be ovulation cramps, still? Or did I possibly conceive? I really do not want to get my hopes up at all. I just find it weird to cramp this early.  I did have ovulation cramps a few days ago. Those were really bad.  Could it be left over cramps?  Has anyone experienced this, and ended up being preggo?

Wow, 9 m/c's. God bless her. I cant even handle one. She is a very strong women. I hope one is all i get. This whole 2WW is the absolute worst. I still have about 2ww left. I am only 6dp. Ugh!

I know. I wish i had a crystal ball that could tell me if this was my month or not. Ever since the mc, i have so in tuned with my body, every single cramp, cm, temp, cervical position (which always seems like it is low and hard all the time), and it gets me thinking. Sometimes I wonder if my body is playing tricks on me because i want it so bad. I think it is because i was once preggo, and then it all slipped away.  And it is the hardest thing to get over. I am still not over it. In a way i am in denial it actually happened. Is that weird? And you are right, hopefulmommy2007, we should really just relax. And it will happen. But again, its hard to relax.

hear ya. Cramping all day with nausea, no puking, just upset tummy.. can't tell if cramps are ovarian or uterus.... bleh bleh... then had discharge and wonder.. before period or prego... oh the wonder... oh the waiting.. too bad we can't just know and be excited already! :)

My breasts are big as well, but I don't know I noticed a difference about them right away, they feel HEAVIER than normal, and the pain came on right away and now my aerolas are a icky dark color whereas before they were light and I couldn't really notice them, now that is the first thing I notice when I look at myself naked in the mirrow.  Ugh.

god, i have been cramping all day be on one side then the other, even got sick after eating chinese food today , hmmmmm

I'm in the same boat too!! I've been lookin for some friends to go through this with also! I've had "o-like" cramping since last week and am now 11dpo. I tested yesterday (the anxiety was killin me) and it was BFN. Didn't test today. And my bbs are big anyway so i really don't know if they look/feel different! All i know is that i still have the deep cramping, peeing more often, and a bit hungrier. I was prego in Nov 2006 and m/c'd at 9 weeks with barely any symptoms so i guess everyone is different!

Keep us posted and I will let you know how my week turns out!

Remember to relax and dont think about getting pregnant. I was trying for like 5 months. Then finally last month I decided to say, " when the time is right I will get pregnant." ANd it did. So try to remember not to stress so hard about it. Relax, enjoy the moment, and it will happen when its right. :-) Good luck to all!!!

Hi there ladies. Just wanted to tell you to give it a few days then take a HPT. I had the same thing after ovulation. A little different than cycle cramps. And just about the time i was due to start my cycle I was having some minor cramps that felt like normal just way mild. I took a HPT and I am preggers, so give it  few then check. Good luck to you all.

[MelliMel18]

Yeah, lets hope there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Keep your toes and fingers crossed. All i know is if i get my af comes this month, i think i will cry. And then i will wonder, WHY THE HECK DID I GET THOSE CRAMPS?  What caused them.  I will then be convinced that all i have been feeling was in my head. Grrr!

[JoyRenee]

Same boat, MelliMel! But my breasts don't feel/look any different. ???  The waiting game commences................

[Gina209]

I hear ya MelliMel, I have large ta ta's as well so it's hard to tell if their bigger!! I'm always bouncing them around trying to figure out if they are larger..but their big to begin with so I can never tell just by looking at them! So many women can take a peek at them and be like op their huge! Me I'm like I can't tell!! It sucks :)

[Gina209]

Weird! I'm in the same boat too! I Ovulated around the 6th and I was getting cramping right before...and than days after I started cramping and AF isn't due until around the 20th..and I never Cramp after I Ovulated..it is strange! Even til this day...8DPO I still am getting some cramping here and there. I have no clue why!! It's frustrating because you don't know if it's Ovulation, your period..pregnancy, what!? And the waiting game continues...

[aeslehc15]

I haven't read all of the posts but I have had cramping (yesterday and this morning) and I am roughly 7 DPO. I'm hoping its a sign of implantation :)

[KT7782]

yeah. that's what I'm worried about. :(

[MelliMel18]

I would wait  few more days. last cycle, i was 6 days late. I thought i was pg, but NOT!  I got my af the next day. Your body likes to play mean games. I got so excited for nothing. I hope in your case you are pg. You may not have enough HCG in your system. Good luck.

[KT7782]

yeah, tested. -ve. but still no period. I'm now like four days late. so ?@?

[krissyy]

so you are 2 wks past ovul?  when do you expect af?  have you tested?  i got a positive at 12dpo, one day before my expected period.  i hope this is it for all of you girls!!!!  let me know what hapens!

[KT7782]

Im kind of in the same boat! My breasts and nipples have hurt for like two weeks now! They still hurt today. I dont start my period until the thursday after this one! I know you can get tenderness during ovulation but dang! They have just been hurting for a long time. Lots of leg pains and back pain. Increased hunger (maybe cuz im trying to diet haha) and I have an infection I think.  I dont know whats going on! I m/c in sept 07 and been on birth control ever since. Im confused like you! I think its in my head too! But gosh they sting! haha

[krissyy]

when i get my period, my cramps start the day before my period.  when i got pregnant, i had a mild version of af cramps starting at around 6dpo and it continued.  i knew it was weird because i never ever get cramps that early, nor do they last so long!  i hope it was as good of a sign for all of you as it was for me!

sounds hopeful that's what I got with all 3 of my pregnancies.
