TTC After a Loss

6/7 DPO- cramps and bloated

Hi guys.
It's my third cycle trying for baby #1 and I'm now 7dpo. Since yesterday (6dpo) I've been super super bloated and have had some cramps a bit like period cramps (uncomfortable but not too painful). Not due AF for a week and a half and I'm pretty regular so I'm sure it's nothing to do with her. It's unusual for me to cramp mid cycle. I'm also quite gassy and have had a little extra white discharge yesterday. Could this be implantation? From doing some research online it looks like implantation can start from 6dpo and has these symptoms but don't want to get my hopes up too much. Feeling very different this month to the last two times of trying.
Anyone else who's had a BFP has similar symptoms around the same time frame? Would love to hear some BFP stories 💜 I'm waiting to test for a few more days yet as it's still very early.

  • @fox2210 This is trying to conceive after a LOSS.  Have you had a loss?  Because you don't mention or how long ago your loss was.  If it was recent, (aka, right before your 3 cycles of trying), that could greatly impact what you are experiencing.  As, the only normal after a loss is that there is no normal.  Your cycles can take up to a year to regulate out, and you can feel all sorts of things that you never have before.  I started feeling ovulation cramps after one of my losses, and I'd NEVER felt that before.  It was the oddest thing.  Also, if you aren't tracking Ovulation by a reliable method (standard period app doesn't count), then you may just be O'ing late or it could be about anything.

  • Hi there! It is widely recognized that nausea and vomiting are common symptoms experienced during early pregnancy. Similarly, bloating, constipation, and heartburn are frequently observed during this period. These symptoms can be attributed to the increase in progesterone levels in the body.
