Question

Cramping at 4 DPO...implantation?

I've been noticing some cramping all evening. It started out really dull and it keeps increasing in intensity and then decreasing again. Sometimes the pain radiates up my back a little bit. It feels sort of like AF cramps but I don't expect that for another week and besides, it comes and goes too much to be AF cramps.

Is it possible this could be implantation? I know that it usually occurs 6-12 DPO, but could it happen earlier?

Every person is different! I am here to tell you that it is TOTALLY POSSIBLE!! And I know because it's what happened to me. I know my cycle to the T. I had pretty bad implantation cramps (just like AF) that woke me from my sleep at 4 & 5dpo this cycle. I literally though AF was coming really early.. I got my BFP this cycle at 12dpo!! Don't listen to anyone that is going to put negative thoughts into your head. Feel free to check out my charting and my journal to see if it may be similar. But again, everyone is going to be different in one way or another. Baby Dust!! Keep me posted ^_^

I have heard woman say that they implanted early like that, so anything is possible. Besides maybe you are a day or 2 off on when you thought you ovulated and you are 6 dpo? I agree with what heather marie said which is don't listen to any negative thoughts.. good luck.

Hahaha! Im not trying to put any negative thoughts in anyone's head...I'm telling u EXACTLY how the body works. U can google the crap out of it if u'd like...an egg will not fertilize and divide, then break out of its shell, then implant at 4dpo OR 5dpo! EVER! U can hear all the stories u want from women who "know" their cycles to a T, but reading an actual book or even reputable website that describes day by day what the egg does, is what u should be doing. I've taken enough biology courses to know how things work, I dont go by hear-say or trust ppl's knowledge of what they think their cycle does. Science doesn't lie, and it doesn't bend for specific individuals. It is what it is, like it or not! So, NO, its not implantation at 4dpo! Good luck! =))

my dr told me the average is 6-12dpo but, if a womans tubes are shorter, it can be sooner; it's not as likely but it's not impossible. i think you should continue to chart your symptoms so that you can compare them to next cycle to see if you have the same reoccurances (but hoping you receive your BFP this cycle!) =) i also agree with heather marie and miraclemama2be... your gonna come across people on this site that may not mean to sound negative, they are trying to be informative but sometimes the way they come across is with some negativity. some ppl just need a little work on their presentation, so to speak. ;) Good luck to all you ladies! sendind baby dust! =)

I'm really not too sure how else one could use the word "no" as a presentably positive thing. I also dont know how having shorter tubes has anything to do with the rate of speed at which a cell divides. I presented websites...with pictures, and u still dont seem to understand it! Really? :/

Sorry if u find my comments negative, perhaps I should join u 3 in this little bubble u live in?!!

i dont think anyone was really looking for 'no' to be presented in a positive manner, your correct there; i agree with you, 100%. i think it's the way you first responded, it came off kind of cold... and you may not have even meant it like that at all. i think sharing your sites from the get go would've been a good idea, cause they are very informative. =) as for you stating that i "still dont understand it," please keep your rude comments to yourself, i'm not here for that, i'm here to support other women ttc. =) i DO understand it, i also stated that the norm is 6-12dpo; but i also shared what my OB informed me of...the egg can float and divide in the uterus before attaching, she also informed me of this; again only sharing what my OB told me. that was all i was stating, which i'm entitled to do... if you don't agree with it, i completely respect that. but this is not a blog for argument and debate, you stated your comment, and shared information, let it be. =) GL

and the bubble comment wasnt necessary either, (rude) you have no idea what my situation or any other woman's situation is. lets all be mature supportive adults here please. again, GL to you!!! =)

She didnt ask about floating and dividing, she asked if it was "implantation at 4dpo"...and its not, plain and simple! My first comment was not cold or negative, so there was no reason for anyone else to follow up with their little "negative thoughts" digs, urself included!! I dont need to know ur situation, or anyone else's, to know what can and cannot happen. I also wont sit here and feed her BS stories so I can make her feel good and support her theory about cramping. I was nothing less than honest, always am. Rude or not, if u dont want ppl to think ur living in a bubble, dont act like it!!

You obviously have some sort of issue going on, and I'm sorry for that but I don't feed into negativity or people being offensive to others, hence the reason I wasn't rude back to you. If you get your kicks by starting arguments and being rude, more power to you gf! Concern yourself with your own comments and not with others, let the person asking the question decide whose advice they wanna take, dnt start arguments, and say rude things, it's quite immature. Again, I was only sharing information, I'm not sure why it bothered you to make you so hostile and nasty to the women on this post. I didnt say you should know or care about anyone's situation, I said you dnt kno, so dnt be rude. Old saying...nothing nice to say, dnt say anything at all, it's something I try to live by, that's why your not getting a nasty rise from me. Again, GL to you! =) An my bubbles a happy place doll, hope you find yours too! =) baby dust!
