abdominal ache - anyone else feel this?

in TTC After a Loss

I have an ache in my lower right abdomen. It's not exactly a cramp, although that's what I've marked on my chart. It's a sort of dull feeling...it's not painful, more like a sensation of tightness or a very light ache, or maybe a gentle squeeze.

Today is the third day in a row, and although it's not around 24/7, it's there fairly often - it's been pretty constant today.

Google is only coming up with ovarian cysts (which I hope it isn't) and appendicitis (I had my appendix removed 6 years ago and it's nothing like that sort of pain).

Anyone feel anything similar? Is it a sign I might have a cyst?

    Def not gas pain...it's so hard to describe!

    When I was googling I found a bunch of posts on other forums from women TTCing who seemed to be feeling something similar, so I know I'm not the only one, but I don't think it's necessarily a sign of any kind (I think we TTCers are just hypersensitive lol)...I wish I could describe it better! It's like an ache...like when you do a bunch of stomach crunches and your stomach muscles ache a bit afterwards, but it's deeper down inside and only in the lower right side and not painful - just present, just there.

    Is it to the side or more in the middle? ?I know that's vague, but I'm trying to decide what it is. I had something similar in college, got an u/s to check for cysts and nothing was there. ?I know I am becoming hypersensitive :)

    To the side. If you looked at me from the front and divided my lower abdomen (very low - above the groin but looooow on my stomach) into thirds, it would be slightly smaller than the third on my right hand side.

    Have you been exercising more? ?Lifted anything heavy or awkward? ?I'm guessing you probably just pulled a muscle.

    Nope and nope. Actually, I've been extremely slothful lately. Stick out tongue

    It doesn't really feel like a muscle ache, it's deeper inside, more like where I would normally feel ovulation pain - it's not ovulation pain, but it's in that area, which is why I was a bit concerned about a cyst.

    Is it like AF cramp? With my last BFP I hed bad pain. Bad to the point I thought AF was 1 week early. Ended up being implantation. not trying to give you false hope, but oh well... just sayin!

    It IS kind of like AF cramp, but not as bad as you're describing - more achy than painful. But maybe I'll just hope it's an early sign of implantation lol! Big Smile 

    ETA: Actually, now that I think about it, I had constant cramps for my BFP too. They were stronger and more painful than this though, which is why I didn't think of it until now...hmm. I'm going to try not to read into this too much. Stick out tongue

    I had this exact same *sensation* with this BFP! I know what you are talking about and it's really hard to describe.  I thought I might have had a cyst, but I just had an u/s 1 month ago so I thought it was weird (no cyst found on u/s).  Well, a week later I got a BFP so I am assuming it was something related to getting KU!  I still don't know what it was, but I will take it!  At what DPO do you plan on testing? I am going to stalk you until then!

    Much Love~

    I have this exact same weird dull ache. ?I tried describing it to DH but he didn't get it. ?It feels very strange and I have had it for 3 days straight now. ?I really hope it means good things for both of us, and not AF showing her ugly face early!

    OK...now I'm getting happy that it might be an early sign! Let's hope so anyway - sooooo much better than a cyst lol.

    labbie, I'm testing in a week on 14dpo...I hope this means the same for me that it did for you!

    kelin, I'm eyeing your temp dip and rise...any chance that was early implantation? I'm totally going to be chart stalking you!

    I've had the same feeling and in the same area.  I'm like what is this? I already O'd so why am I feeling this?  It does feel like you did one two many crunches and you are sore.  Yesterday when I left work I was also feeling a pulling sensation...not sure what that is all about...but I'm crossing my fingers for ALL of us that are in the 2WW and I am hoping to see some massive BFP's in June SmileParty!!!
