Implantation Cramps at 8DPO?

[abbeyroad]

Hi ladies,

We are currently on our first TTC cycle, so still quite new to this and not sure what to expect. This is also the first time I am paying so much attention to whatever is happening to my body.

Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I'm quite sure I felt a series of cramps during 7-8 dpo. They were sharp and intense, unlike anything I have felt before. Usually I have very little pains during or before AF, at most some mild and dull pain on the lower abdomen. However this was a little bit different, most were felt higher up, on the left, next to my belly button, some were also felt around the lower abdomen. Some being quite intense I had to fold over even while sitting down. After 9dpo, nothing was felt anymore. There was also no implantation bleeding or whatsoever.

Today is the 11th dpo, and being curious I took a pee test with a pregnancy kit. It turned out to be negative I must say I am feeling quite disappointed even though it's only the 1st time. Is it too early to test? My AF is due 5 days from now. Do you think those were implantation pains? I almost thought it could be appendicitis, but that's on the right side of the body, so nope.

Any of you felt this before and got a BFP, and on which day did you take the test?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @abbeyroad

yes could be implantation pains. But I thot I felt the cramps last month but AF came, so I'm not sure if I maybe I had chemical preg , who knows.

But it is definitely possible you could be pregnant!

If u want to test early, use the sensitive ones. Like clear blue digital or first response (bought from carousell) . I bought another brand called Predictor, haven't tried but all these days can test up to 6 days before period. I try not to test too early, otherwise it will be very expensive

Good luck !!! hope u get positive

Thanks so much for the info!

Now I am also worried about ectopic or chemical pregnancy. Are you also trying for your first one?

Haha I bought a cheapo one from Watsons. I was thinking if I get a faint line then I'll go get the Clearblue one (those aren't cheap!) to test. Now I'd probably wait till 14dpo morning before I try again, so anxious!

All the best! Hopefully you see a BFP soon too

Thanks for asking! Nope turned out it wasn't anything. Hahaha, just finishing up my AF cycle now, better luck next round! AF was also 3-4 days late this month, made me so hopeful

How about you? Any news?

No lei ... unfortunately . yea same, a couple of months my AF was late few days too.
i realised all these symptoms are just normal PMS . I'll try this month not to think too much and relax.
