Implantation Symptoms

[Darcy1996]

Obviously have asked Dr Google, but interested to know others’ implantation symptoms.

Would be too early to test (my period is expected 8 days from now), I’ve had no bleeding (I appreciate not everyone does), and no difference to my breasts in terms of pain or size. What I am having is twinges/pains a bit similar to period cramps, been a bit grumpy (my partner might say this is normal 🤣), headaches, tiredness and change of discharge.

I’m trying to be a hopeful realist and completely appreciate everyone is different, and the only way to know for sure would be a test when I can, but if anyone feels up to sharing your implantation symptoms, I’d be grateful.

We have been trying naturally for 3 years on/off and trying to sort financing for IVF if not pregnant in next 3 months. I’ve never had these “symptoms” before.

if it’s wind I’ll be annoyed 🤣🤣😬

hope all are well/coping.

oh it’s horrible isn’t it second guessing what is down to hormones. I kept a log of my symptoms from when I got my BFP 4 years ago and just had a transfer hoping for a sibling so checked back each day to compare. Well, everything was really similar, intense bloating, period like cramps waking me at night, feeling hotter than normal, then colder than normal etc etc so I thought I might be in with a shot but it was BFN 🙄 so actually it’s impossible to work out (for me anyway) I think we just try to work it out to feel some sense of control in such a turbulent time. It’s definitely interesting to note down but I guess hormones do funny things.

I didn’t get implantation bleeding ever, even with BFP but I think that’s the only slightly more reliable sign of implantation. Even then if it’s pessaries you’d wonder if it was just irritation 🤣

Thinking of you at the mad time and wishing you all the luck 🍀 xx

Oh goodness sorry for your BFN news, I hope coping as best you can x

I’m sure I could ask 1000 women and hear a 1000 different answers so I’m not entirely sure…but I think my partner would like an explanation for my grumpiness as my retrograde explanation isn’t helping 🤣

Good luck with your sibling journey & thank you x

I had no symptoms, no bleeding, breasts only a bit sore, twinges and cramps. It was an ivf, frozen transfer, and I was convinced it didn’t work due to lack of symptoms but it worked! 7 weeks now and it’s twins! Good luck to you!

Oh my goodness, a double trouble blessing! Enormous congratulations x 2 💜💜

my resting heart rate went up so I had a feeling transfer had worked from that, but otherwise I pretty much felt normal x

Hi! I felt the implantation cramps, I felt twitches and pinching in my lower abdomen and lower back i knew it had worked from then on but apart from that I didn't get any symptoms until I was 4 and a half weeks pregnant and I'm now 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow, I used to get very grumpy before I got my periods, also I had double frozen embryo transfer through ivf, I wish you all the best x

With my 2 BFPs the only symptom I could actually see rather than believing I was jver thinking was my areola darkening. Also my dog (female) became really protective over me

[Darcy1996 in reply to Sw1234]

That’s adorable- dogs just have sixth senses don’t they!

literally PMS for me! Really sore breasts and light cramps like my period was coming. So similar that I had convinced myself it was game over. I also noticed smells more…

Wishing you good luck x

[Darcy1996 in reply to Me_and_Sparkle]

Thank you so much 💜

That’s it atm, like light period cramps/twinges. I know it could be nothing, I guess I’m looking out for any hopeful signs whilst remaining cautious…and posting on here in hope 🤣🤣
