Alright bees.... I am in need of some advice.
I am 7-8 DPO and last night had some crazy cramping on my right side. Could it have been implantation cramps?
I also have gnawing hunger (like wake up at 2am for food kind of hunger) and I am so sleepy.
I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up but just want to hear what you girls experienced during your TWW if it turned into a BFP (or a BFN too, I suppose)!
Happy Monday!

I did notice cramps as well as hunger and exhaustion. I haven't been getting good sleep for the past week, either. I really thought it was AF coming!

My only tell-tale symptom during the TWW was sore breasts. I didn't experience any fatigue or cramping at all. I am now 5 wks pregnant and have definitely felt fatigued the last few days! Good luck to you!

@mellybelly: When we were pregnant in August (ended in m/c at 7 weeks), I was totally not in tune with my body but all I ever noticed was extreme fatigue. But I didn't know why until I got my BFP. And then I had sore breasts... couldn't wait to take off my bra! I just wanted a reason for the crazy cramping I had last night. And OF COURSE, I think implantation right away!

I had the worst sore boobs ever during my last TWW-- hurt to wear a bra OR take it off. I was sure I was pregnant, but alas, no such luck- BFN. Not terribly helpful, though...

@Ash: same here! it's such a relief to take off the bra at night.
I hope it is implantation cramps for you!!

@kpow: I've been sleeping so well! I'm not a napper cuz usually I can't sleep at night if I do, but man, it feels good. Except for my 2am need to feed, hahahaha!
@Foodnerd81: I hate TWW/PMS symptoms being the same. Ugh! It'd be so much easier if there was no wait!

@Ash: Best of luck to you, and hoping you get your BFP soon!!

@kpow: P.S. Congratulations on your BFP!! :))
@Alivoo01: Thank you so much!!

I didn't have any cramping or symptoms but did have implantation bleeding at 7-8 DPO. I got my BFP 2 days later.

The right side. I had one that was kinda shocking cause it hurt more than normal and I wasn't expecting it.
honeydew / 7687 posts
@Ash hope you get your positive soon! I don't normally have any PMS symptoms, but tested early because I had such painful cramps they woke me up at night - but it was later than implantation cramping. We didn't chart or anything, so I don't know how many days that was at, but it was my first symptom, and really my only one until probably 6 weeks when I started to get sick.

I didn't really have any obvious symptoms pre-BFP. I was just a little bit more fatigued than usual. Most of my symptoms showed up at six weeks.
Good luck! I hope this is your sticky BFP!

@Pumpkinspice: Mine totally caught me off guard. They lasted a few hours. How about yours? I normally don't get AF cramps until she is here for a few days and I still have a week before that happens.
@scg00387: Thank you!! I don't chart either. I just use my period app that assumed my O day was last Sunday and I have VERY regular cycles.
@oliviaoblivia: Thank you!! :))

@Ash: Mine was more one every so often. It was odd. I didn't suspect it as a symptom cause I'd just gotten a negative but 5 days later I got a positive.
honeydew / 7909 posts
@Pumpkinspice: Well I guess only time will tell huh? Patience really is a virtue!! 
Thanks for your input!!

My only major symptom was way more sleeping than normal. I was bone tired, like if you've ever had mono . . . that kind of tired.
pomegranate / 3398 posts
@Ash: Oh no problem at all! I also had no other symptoms until at least two weeks after my BFP when my boobs got super sore (and still are at 14 weeks) and I was exhausted and nauseous.

@Ash,
I have similar side cramping and have been super hungry. AF is supposed to be here Wednesday. I tested today (I can't stand the wait) and got a BFN, but I'm holding out hope.
When I was pregnant before (m/c at 10 weeks) I had super sore breasts and was peeing constantly. Don't remember cramping because we weren't trying so I wasn't really paying attention like I am now!

I had zero symptoms. I felt the same as always, and unlike other months when I thought I had "symptoms" and got BFNs, the month I got my BFP I was SURE I wasn't pregnant. In fact, the only reason I took a test was because it was NYE and I didn't want to go out boozing hard if I was pregnant (AF was due, like, the next day).
I didn't feel any pregnancy symptoms until week 6 or 7.

@JamieLee: we have similar symptoms (& stories). Hope this is your month! Good luck!!

I had the most painful middle left back pain that lasted 15-20 minutes. I would have taken an Advil if we weren't TTC. I was convinced it was implantation, and I think I was right! Got my BFP 2 1/2 days later. Good luck!!

On CD 24 I got ovarian pain, possibly due to the clomid. Then I starting having nausea at night when I was hungry, and started getting up to pee. Positive test CD28.

Definately could be!! I had implantation cramps on 9 - 10 dpo and they lasted for about an hour (off and on) each day. They were very sharp, not like menstrual cramps that are more dull and constant. They were on the same side I ovulated from. After implantation, all my strange symptoms dissapeared. bfp 5 days later Good luck!!!!

I am right there with you! I'm nauseated, have semi sore breasts (I say semi because it's nothing compared to how sore they got when I was pregnant with my first), shooting back pains that woke me up at night, and exhaustion. Now, in isolation I could explain all these symptoms away... But together... Ah the wait!!
When will you take a test? I might go to the dollar store tomorrow to stock up
honeydew / 7909 posts
@jh524: Yes! I usually don't get menstrual cramps (especially not a week before AF). That's what caught me off guard.
Now I am beyond exhausted... like almost fell asleep at work yesterday... at NOON! As the days pass, I am getting so bad at symptom spotting.
@glimmersnaps: AF is due on Monday so I plan on testing on Sunday. I could probably test today at 11DPO but I don't want to see a BFN because of my impatience. Good luck to you!!!

@Ash: Hoping you have good luck on Sunday!
I am now 13 dpo, AF was due Tuesday, no sign of her, but I've had 2 BFNs. Still have tender breasts and I feel like I am peeing a lot! Ugh...just want to know one way or another.
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@Ash: Sounds promising! Can't wait to hear about your BFP soon!
@JamieLee: I'm at 13 DPO also, and got a BFN this morning as well. AF is due tomorrow, and I'm pretty settled into the fact she'll show up. Sigh. Hoping your's isn't though! When I got my BFP a few months ago, I didn't get my BFP until 3 days after AF was scheduled to arrive! There's hope for you!

I'm probably 8DPO right now and have felt increasingly weird over the last week. SO SLEEPY and randomly sore. And today my abdomen feels weird... not really crampy, and not painful, but I have a weird feeling in there that I can't describe. 99% sure this is just me being crazy since I WANT this, but had to write it out just in case I end up being lucky! Probably waiting to test til next Wednesday.

@Alivoo01: I'm pretty sure AF is here. I'm super bummed. I really thought this was our month. Now I have to wait till the beginning of December to POAS.
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@JamieLee: AF showed up for me today. Blah. I have long cycles so I won't POAS until Dec. 6! I think I'm going to try and take a back seat to baby making this month though. I'm thoroughly beat up. No OPK, no monitoring, nothing. Just going to BD when we feel like it and not think about the fact that we're trying to make a baby. It'll be hard, but I'll try.
clementine / 930 posts
@Alivoo01: we must have similar cycle lengths because my POAS date is the 5th. I hope you're able to relax better this month.

I implanted on dpo 9-10 and I got my bfp (very faint line) on 14dpo with frer. If you implanted on the daY you think, you may get a positive the day before or the day of your missed period. Keep us posted! Good luck!!
honeydew / 7909 posts
I think I'm gonna poas in the morning... I've been awake since 2am (again!) because I'm nauseated. It'll be 2 days before AF is due but I can't take the wait!
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
@Ash: ooh good luck!! It's already morning here, when are you poas??
honeydew / 7909 posts
@sorrycharlie: It was 4am here but since I'd been up since 2 I fell back asleep until 730. 
And then I POAS... and it was negative. The control line took about 10 minutes to appear but that was the only line I got!
