Unusual cramps in abdomen
-
08-08-2009 1:54pm#1Hi,
I just started trying for a baby and am approx 1 week post ovulation and I am getting cramps in my abdomen and slight swelling.... I have not had any bleeding so i'm not sure if I have implanted and it is too early to do a pregnancy test. Has anyone else experienced similar cramps while trying to concieve? I usually have a regular 28 day cycle and this certainly feels different. Any advise greatly appreciated.

I am experiencing this at the moment but I think it's the onset of my period tbh
They say you can experience cramping during implantation and that it can be very similar to period pain. It could just be period pain so as CM says don't test til the day your period id due.0 -
Thanks Cathy and Detectiv. I am planning to wait until my next period due date (approx 1 week from now) to do the test but I am already wondering how women cope with the waiting each month. I have read some of the posts by women ttc and my heart goes out to anyone who has had to endure many months or years of trying without being successful. This is my first month and i'm so impatient for next week to arrive! Thankfully the cramps have stopped after two days. I was concerned as I thought I may be allergic to my husbands semen and that may have been what caused the discomfort as the cramps were very different from my usual pre-period cramps and I was quite swollen... Oh well. Here's hoping that next week will be a positive result . Cathy, you are correct when you mentioned becoming hyper sensitive to your body. I guess this happens as we have no idea what to expect, having never been pregnant before. I am going to relax and try to take my mind off it fr the next week. There is no point in getting too excited for the first try as it may take many months. Cathy, best of luck to you too. I will reply to this post to let you all know how I get on. Thanks again.

Musro,
I'll be very interested to know how you get on. I'm on my first proper month of ttc also, but a bit behind you. Think ive ovulated, but just waiting for a few more days of taking temp, so I'm sure. Wishing you the best of luck! The waiting is so frustrating, but like you I'm trying not to get too excited either! All the best!0 -

Woke this morning at 5.42am dying for a wee so decided to do the test as it requires the first urine of the day (I did not set the alarm I swear!). I used one of those digital tests and it gave me a "pregnant 1-2" reading. Now I realize this is an early test so my hubby and I are not getting too over excited as it is very early days. I will re-do a test on Thursday when my period is due and hopefully I will get the same result. Best of luck everyone and keep the fingers crossed that my embryo remains implanted 0

Musro,
Do hope the early test is correct and that you get another positive on thurs. I'm sure it's hard not to get too excited and having to wait til thurs to test again. Fingers crossed for you! I ovulated last week and have the usual sore boobs, bit of cramping, etc now. But not reading too much into it as I had same symtoms last month before period was due.
Best of luck musro and everyone else!0 -

Hi Crazy Cat,
Thanks. I'm still waiting for it all to sink in! I think I am due on 29th April (according to those online calculator things) as I still haven't managed to get a GP appointment! I live in the UK at the moment and I have to wait until next Wednesday for an appointment!! Disgraceful... but don't get me started.. Hugs to all and best of luck to everyone 0
