cramps at 4DPO???

LisaBrown · #1 July 16th, 2009, 02:46 AM

OK, so I know that I always have ''imaginary'' symtoms in the 2ww, but I'm not imagining these cramps! I have had a weird, straining feeling in my left side since O, then this morning it is more than that, I can really say it's a full blown, dull and achy cramp. I usually never get cramps like this one...I've been up now for 45 mins and it's sticking around, so I don't think it's going to go away right now either. I hope it's a good sign...just thought I'd share.

i had similar ones around that time too. and i have been cramping every day or so since. i have had weird burning, poking pains too....... today i havent any so who knows????

Ooohh...that's sounds promising!!!...I would test if I were you!

...but then again I'm the kind of person who always tests before AF is due. I'm trying to work on that....being more patient when it comes to testing, but it's hard!!! I took a warm bath and it passed, but I still have a weird feeling lurking down there...I guess I'll have to wait it out at least another week.

On another note, I see your posts on other boards a lot...you should stick around here more often, we're a fun group!

i also take warm baths and that soothes my cramps..... :-)

i usually only cramp when i get AF so this is all weird for me. I did test (with an expired test) this morning and got a BFN. gonna wait it out till the weekend...

i have seen you also around (this feels like school lol)..... i will stick around. thanks for the invite

i have had those darn cramps too my last couple cycles. i hope it is a great sign of implantation for you!!!

I hope it's a good sign for you!! I'll be honest though- I've had a few cycles that I get cramps on and off that early... BFP

Ok, so I just went and looked at your chart- because of your OPKs, and I know you won't wanna hear it- I'm convinced that you O'd yesterday. Could have been O pains?

I had those cramps yesterday for a few hours and today during BD, but I haven't even O'd yet, sooo something tells me that for me at least it isn't implantation.

And remember to not do too warm of a bath.

nice job jackie, i'm agreeing with you totally!!!!!!

LisaBrown · #11 July 16th, 2009, 01:49 PM

Jackie and Lynda: Could be O, but I had more sharp ones that I thought were O the day before yesterday...so I agree I may not be 4DPO, but don't think it was O...frustrating body!!!

And it's kind of unusual for me too, so that's why I'm mentioning, but I agree it's way too early to put out invites for a babyshower

...I always seem to notice a new''different symptom'' or feeling each cycle the past few ones, so who knows anymore

Ohhh...and yeah, I keep the bath warm, but not hot at all really...it's cold in 15 mins, hehehe!

I think you might have O'ed too... you can have O pains before, during and after you O actually, so it's possible! I know that I've had cycles where I've had O pains before and during, some that have been after... it depends on the cycle for me!
Either way, good luck!!!

LisaBrown · #13 July 17th, 2009, 04:37 AM

Yeah, I guess it must have been O pains...hopefully I at least O'ed at the latest yesterday, because we took a break from BDing last night and the night before...but I could still be in the game even if I only O'ed yesterday, right? What do you girls think? I'm gonna add BDing on my chart so you girls can see and let me know...because you ladies have been charting way longer than I have, so I'm welcoming your expertise!

As of now, the cramps are gone, but I can still feel a bit of that straining I was talking about. Either way, I still have a long wait ahead of me before I can test...especially if I even O'ed later than I thought at first. I'm getting so tired of WAITING...waiting to O, TWW, waiting to test, waiting for AF, then waiting to O again and it all starts over....geeezzz! Thanks for the company while I wait though! Don't know what I'd do without you girls!

If you O'd Wednesday (or earlier), you have a FABULOUS chance this cycle!!

A girl from my ttc buddies group Oed later than FF said the cycle she got pg (by like 4 days), so just make sure you listen to your body and if it tells you to BD, make sure you listen!! Good luck! My fingers are crossed for you!!
