Cramps? Possible BFP or UTI??

SweetieD21

Hello!  I'm visiting from ttcal:)  I'm 8dpo and have been having slight cramps in my lower stomach, sometimes a little to the right.  And also slight pinching/stretching.  I had this the first few weeks I was pregnant, but I also had a UTI, so I'm wondering what it could be?  I'm leaning more towards UTI since 8dpo is probably too early for pg symptoms.  Anyone have these symptoms?  TIA!

I vote for bfp or pms symptoms!   

When I have a uti there is just no question that that's what it is.  That horrible burning pain is unmistakable for me. I do know that they sell uti tests now over the counter if you want to test to see if you have one?  GL!

8 DPO may not be too early...I got my BFP at 9/10DPO and I was def crampy! When do you plan on testing? GL!

I started cramping 3 days before my missed period...I thought PMS was coming! And I got a BFP the day of my missed period! Implantation usually occurs 7-8 days after ovulation! May be implantation! GOod Luck!

I really doubt it's implantation since it's pretty much impossible to feel it.  But thanks for your positivity!!

Good to know!  I'm running errands later so I'll stop at Target and get one.  Do they also sell medicine for UTI's over the counter?

They sell meds that will take the pain away (and turn your urine BRIGHT orange!!!) but if you honestly have a uti it can turn into a bad one pretty fast, or even a kidney infection, etc.  You'd need to get a perscription for antibiotics to get rid of it.

I vote for BFP!!! I had the cramping stuff going on from around 6 or 7 DPO and going through the 6th week....

 Don't you feel the cramping when you implant? I don't know because I didn't really know when I ovulated this month!  But I still am praying for a BFP for you!!

I totally felt crampy the week before AF was due, and WHY I took a bump break (totally felt like was out!) Weirder things have happened. I vote for BFP (or at least I am hoping for one for you). And remember I got a BFP 10(from doctor's office) 11(on HPT waiting for the doctor's office to call me back) DPO. SO 8 DPO wouldn't be so strange. Hope, I offer you Hope!

you can't feel implantation per say. But, your ute can sometimes contract/constict as implantation occurs. That's what people feel I believe. But, not everyone feels this either. My first one I did not. My second i kinda felt the same as this one. I just shrugged it off as AF cramps because my cycles have done weird thing after m/cs.  I just it was weird when they stopped. Like okay this is when they are supposed to start for AF to come.

Thanks girls!  I'm gonna get a uti test.  I'm also going to hope AF doesn't show up!!
