Ovulation Pain VS. Implantation Pain?

Hi ladies! 2 questions:

1.) Can anyone describe for me the difference between an ovulation pain and an implantation pain? Or is there pain at implantation? I had a horrible, but brief pain on the 16th that doubled me over. It felt like a pinch or "catch", it was awful, but just for a second or two. I have had this feeling before,  but never thought to document anything until after my M/C on 10-31-06.

2.) can anyone tell me if it is possible to have implantation with no bleeding?

TTC.....and TTL (trying to learn) thanks so much all of you!

I too am having the same symptoms. I keep feeling these sharp pains off and on all day today. I was wondering if it was implantation pains. It feels a lot like ovulating, but this is more like the middle, not on the side. I'm glad to see others having the same feelings. I've been another one of the impatient ones. I've already taken a few tests. None have been positive, but I'm not due for a period for 2 more days. I miscalculated the date my period was due at first so I didn't think I was so far ahead of myself taking tests. I'm waiting to see if I get my period Monday then taking another test Tuesday first thing if not. I wouldn't say I've had implantation spotting, but I did have one tiny spot earlier. I've had other pregnancy symptoms, I've had what could be the pregnancy congestion or allergies for a week. I've had some queasiness. I've had an increased appetite. I've also had some strange cravings. I wanted Ramen noodles. I usually only eat those if I absolutely have to & have to force myself to eat them. So I'm thinking these pains are from implantation.

Hey guys,

I was just reading this because i've been having the same symptoms!!

I came off my pill a month ago and worked out that i was ovulating around 15 days ago but me and my partner having been ttc since i came off the pill last month, having sex every night or 2.

For the past week my nipples have been so painful and unable to touch, also i've been experiencing alot of abdomonal pains for the past 4/5 days.
Other symptoms are feeling sick and gagging at the thought of minor things and also the smell of some things, mild back pains and head ache, general fatigue and just not being arsed to doing anything.

I'm one of the impatient ones and took loads of tests when we we first ttc- all negative like i expected.

My period is due in 2 days but i just can't wait!!!!!

What does everyone think??

I had the same thing happen to me last year. I had my period August 23, 2009 and stopped taking the pill once I got off it and I conceived around the beginning of September. So just wait until you get close to your next period and take a test. Good luck to you!!

I am 28 years old and my husband and I have decided to have a baby.  I went off the pill and the first day of my last period was the 10th July 2010, meaning that I should have ovulated around the 23rd July or so.  It is my first month off the pill, so perhaps what I am feeling is my body re-adjusting, but about 6 days after ovulation I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my lower abdomin.  It only lasted a few minutes, but was horrible.  Could this be implantation pain or just ovulation pain?  I did spot a little before that??  My breasts, inparticular my nipples, are sensitive, which I have never had before, on or off the pill.  Could I be pregnant already??

January 13th 2000 I started my period, did a home pregnancy test Feb. 9th and found out i was pregnant. The signs i had in those 2 weeks before the test:
1.  a few seconds of sharp stabbing pain in the right lower side below where the ovary might be, in the pelic wall about 4 days after ovulation.  
2.  feeling pucky especially when hot
3.  flu like symptoms one day
4.  pressure, twinges and digging-in pain off and on that continued daily at the site of implantation.

(Other times i've had similar twinges and slight digging pains that weren't as strong but continued until i had a regular period. I heard only about 1 in 10 pregnancies result in a baby.)
I remember feeling pucky when riding in the car over speed bumps.
I had so many symptoms right away that it was quite obvious i was pregnant. I just didn't pay that much attention because of the other times i thought i was pregnant and had a period.
