Cramps but no bleeding, 6 dpIUI?

Hi,

 I had an IUI last Monday, June 3. Today was 6 dpIUI, and I have had cramps most of the day. I had some slight cramps for about 30 minutes yesterday as well, but they went away and didn't come back. Today though, I have only felt relief when I have been walking around or keeping busy. I had to take a nap earlier because they were getting so bad. Has anyone else ever experienced more than light cramps but no bleeding due to implantation? I am really hoping this is a good sign. My hopes are starting to go up, and I'm so afraid they will be crushed when I take my test at the end of the week. I haven't experienced any bleeding at all, but this would be my third pregnancy, and I have never noticed implantation bleeding before. The first pregnancy, I don't remember if I did for sure because I didn't know there was any such thing. The second pregnancy, I'm pretty sure I didn't, and I don't even remember having cramps like this. But it can't be AF, can it? Usually when you're sure you've ovulated, you shouldn't get AF symptoms until 12-16 days later, right?

    You and I are in the same boat!! I had my first IUI on the 3rd as well. I've been experiencing the same as you. FX that this is our cycle!!
    Have you felt like a pulling feeling on either side? I've had that as well.
  • Don't freak. I had the same thing before bfp. I actually started spotting. It can be normal. Baby can be getting comfy. Gl to u

    I'm not freaking out that this is a BAD thing, I'm just hoping I'm not getting my hopes up. It's hard not to though :) No cramps so far today, but I wonder if it's normal to only experience it for one day (at least until baby starts to really grow)...

    Good luck to you APutter05. There are a few of us on a thread just for those who had our IUI's on the 2nd or 3rd of June. Feel free to join us on that thread. Can't wait to see how many of us get our BFP!
