Cramping question
I am 11dpo. I normally experience cramping around 6-11dpo and again just before or the first day of AF. Is it possible to experience AF like cramping even after implantation. I'm not getting my hopes up. This is my 5th IUI. I just wonder because when I get these cramps at 6-10dpo I just feel....out. I'm not sure what implantation pain feels like or how many women actually experience it.
I guess a question to ask would be... Have any of you ladies experienced cramps that were similar to or identical to your AF cramps and still gotten pregnant? And of those that have, did you experience them around the same time as you usually do or was it somehow different? I just ask because I normally have AF like cramps around the time implantation would normally take place so I don't think I'll ever be able to distinguish it from AF cramps. Any experiences you'd like to share regarding AF cramps and pregnancy?

I had AF like cramps for about 3 days and I was getting upset because I kept running to the bathroom expecting to find a bloody mess but there wasn't anything there. If it was going to come, i just wanted it to start already and get it over with. Finally, the day before my period was supposed to come, my temperature spiked again so I took a test and I was pregnant. never would have guessed it by the way I was cramping though. My mom said she had AF like cramps when she was pregnant with me too.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I have not been tracking my bbt this cycle. If I don't get pregnant this cycle I plan on tracking bbt every day of the cycle. I am now 11dpo (I don't know why I said I was 11dpo yesterday). I had lower back cramps on days 8-9 (around the same time I had a fever, which included body and back aches so it only made it worse) and on 10dpo (yesterday) I had front cramps, identical to AF cramps. I'm due to start on Saturday (14dpo)
Can anyone tell me what implantation pain felt like for them, as I've heard it can feel different for different people?
