Question

Sharp pains in lower abdominal area and back? Your experience with this symptom?

Hi all. I'm not asking whether or not you think I'm pregnant because I know only time will tell but wanted to hear if you experienced abdominal pain and if so what was the outcome? O'd on March 23 and had cramping and some brite red string like blood. Felt cramping on left side. So chalked it up to ovulation. starting yesterday, dpo7, I keep getting these sharp pains in lower abdominal area. And felt like I was getting uti. Today full feelin but now getting concerned that the pain has centralized to lower left side and a little back pain. Pain is more uncomfortable when laying down In stomach. I was debating emailing my Dr but thought I would just wait until tomorrow to see if I'm still experiencing these pains Because I'm scared it could be something more severe because I haven't felt this before in the 11 ttc. Just curious of outcomes that you may have had. Thanks ladies!

I had the same pains you are saying and bleeding in my last early pregnancy, it started off red then faded to brown twice, the same stringy as well. I then miscarried at 6 weeks 2 days on March 9th 2015. Severe sharp pains along with red blood are not normal in pregnancy and can be a sign of miscarriage. I had bad lower pain in the left side as well, as well as sharp back stabbing pain as well.

First and foremost, I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that you have a better experiencing moving forward. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I posted this in the wrong category b/c I thought it was the symptoms section - teaches me to do this from my phone. But I haven't received a BFP yet, I am not supposed to get AF until early next week. I was assuming these pains I am feeling aren't all that great, so that's why I was asking. I started to see a fertility specialist and start the testing on day 3 of my next cycle. I normally have a lot of spotting from time of Ovulation to AF and this time I had spotting at O and then nothing since then. I had issues with cysts when I was a teenager, so I was just hoping these signs I am experience aren't something serious. I'm not counting on a BFP because it gets hard being let down time and time again. Thanks again for your reply and best of luck to you!

Hi, are you pregnant? Did you go to dr for those symptoms?

I am now 7days past ovulation and I started with the exact same pain on my left side back radiadiating to my left lower abdominal. I kept thinking it could be my kidney, but wasn't sure if it was a early pregnancy symptom or something else. I ended up going to ER because pain was too bad so it turned out I have a kidney infection, but somehow I'm not convinced never in my life have I ever had a uti or something wrong with my kidneys.. I just think it's really uncommon especially around the time I'm really TTC.. I hope I am pregnant and its a healthy one.. Best of luck to u.. Baby dust to you

Hi Karig22: I am sorry to hear you are having this pain. I ended up going to the doctor and got tested for a UTI and kidney infection and my urine was negative but doctor said it's very likely to get infections when trying to conceive because frequent intercourse causes more bacteria. Have you called your OB?

I am not pregnant, my cycle showed up days after this happened and was very painful. My RE I am seeing said I most likely had Luteal phase failure and the egg may have implanted but wasn't able to stay. I start fertility testing on Monday, I am getting an HSG done to see if I have any blockages and then 3 other tests this cycle as well.

Hi rb1019, been ttc for 2 months last cycle was the first to use an ovulation kit. All my other pregnancies happened on the first try so this is kind of frustrating to me. How long have you been trying to conceive? Sorry this wasn't your month. Question, is it possible to have really bad cramping when they egg hasn't been implanted?

It's crazy to think about how frustrating getting pregnant can be b/c when we want it, we want it now. :D I have been ttc for 13 months but started seeing a fertility doctor so hopefully we can get answers soon. I know my friend got pretty sharp pains on 8 DPO and then ended up pregnant, so I think it's a good possibility! I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you don't have to try too long to get a BFP. Best wishes!
