Really painful implantation cramps or Bloodless AF?

dduerre · July 2012

Ladies, please provide your guidance:

DH and I have been TTC for 2 cycles. Ovulation was June 25th, AF due today. This morning I was woken up with terrible cramps that lasted about 10-15 minutes. I usually have really bad cramps for a two days starting my 2nd day of AF, so I thought it was odd that they started first.

Anyway, I put in a tampon and pouted. Fast forward 6 hours.... Go to change the tampon and it's clean. No spots, no color, nothin. Been having mild cramping all day like a regular AF, but not bad like this morning.

Could these be implantation cramps? I hear they are supposed to be mild, but since I have bad menstrual cramps, could that make for bad implantation cramps? I'm going to test tonight (cross your fingers, please). Also, aren't they supposed to hit closer to ovulation? It's been 15 days.

Thanks!

1. how do you know you Od?

2. If you did O then, a HPT should be +, have you tested?

3. It could be spotting before AF

Implantation cramps typically happen around implantation, 7-10 dpo.

My first thought is how do you know when you Oed?

My second thought is, your period is coming soon, but go ahead and test if you like.

I agree. Take a test.

FWIW.... i never felt anything with implantation. Don't really know when it occured. I'm guess 9dpo with #1 since I had a nice temp dip, but other than that...nothing.

dduerre · July 2012

I think I O'd on the 25th because I've been temping and had a 0.8 degree temp dip 23rd & 24th with a 1.2 degree rise that stayed within 0.2 degree since the 25th. My Had EWCM 24th, 25th and 26th.

I plan to test tonight, but hadn't before because I'm trying not to be too anxious or get my hopes up.

Take a test. FYI lots of women have cramps before AF.

dduerre · July 2012

I know that lots of women have cramps before AF, but I never have in the 17 years since I met AF. It would be odd to start now, don't you think?

kah01009 · July 2012

I never got cramps until I actually got my period, which is why after about 5 days in a row of pretty consistent cramping with no signs of AF, I tested at 10 DPO. That's when I got my BFP with DD. I was actually crampy for weeks afterward, on and off, as well. GL to you!!!

Is bloodless AF anything like a clear period? If so... totes pregneranto!

No. I never had mid cycle spotting until I did. Random things happen.

And also, WTF is a bloodless period?

dduerre · July 2012

Yay! Thanks!

Yes, exactly. I couldn't think of the term.. Thank you!

reederah · July 2012

Before I found out I was pregnant with my son, I had cramps that felt the exact same as my menstrual cramps, so I thought AF was coming and I wasn't pregnant. I took an HPT the day before my period was due and it was positive.

I'm not saying your pregnant for sure, but yes, you can have cramps right before AF and be pregnant. Or your cycle could just be a day late. It happens.

Take a test, and good luck.

Clear period. Clear or yellowish discharge instead of blood.

What about clear or yellowish discharge and no blood makes it a freakin' period?

All of my thoughts on this post:

Based on the ticker you have in your siggy you know nothing about when you ovulated.

There is no such thing as bloodless AF.

IF you DID ovulate on June 25th it is pretty much too late for implantation to occur.

Sure, you could be pregnant, and people get cramps in the early weeks of pregnancy.

If you are not pregnant, maybe you need to poop.

ETA: Ok, I'll recind my first statement after going through the replies to the thread and seeing that you temp. But, for gosh sakes, get rid of that dumb ticker.

Would love to get rid of the ticker, but the link is broken. It keeps taking me to baby names when I try. There is such a thing as a "Clear Period" (I use the wrong term, sorry) where you have clear or off-white discharge instead of blood. I poop just fine, thank you. And thank you for validating that these would not be implantation cramps because it's been too long.

Maybe next time you could try being nice before you just get on your high horse.

So her having a great amount of knowlege puts her on a high horse? Got it. Please define clear period for me. I don't think it means you have the discharge verses blood. I think that just means you have discharge NO blood. Not like one or the other has to be happening to you?

OP, there is no such thing as a clear period. Don't you find it odd that you are the only one who claims there is such a thing!?

And you are correct, it's too late for implantation. AF is coming. It is possible to have your cycle change and get your cramps before the blood.

tcfreedom · July 2012

I've never heard of this before, but I admit to knowing very little compared to most of the women here on the TTC forums.

I hope you see that + on your HPT good luck.

Thanks for sharing this. In my first 2ww and have had cramps for past couple days which I usually never feel until after AF arrives! Might be tempted to test early before I go OOT.

She also said when it was removed there wasn't anything on it, so when did the bloodless period AKA discharge appear?

Yes I am! BFP last night. OB appointment in the AM.

Cramping caused by dehydration and my running schedule, so says the CPA at the ER last night. I'm really going to miss my long runs over the next 9 months, but it's for a great cause!

Um congrats? I suggest you do a little reading about pregnancy since you seem to be utterly clueless. Also, you can probably run throughout your pregnancy. Women have run marathons pregnant. Just sayin.
