Yes I had cramping with 3/4 of my babies and bleeding with those the ad well. With this baby I kept having spotting and my Dr aid it was likely the placenta "digging"in for its blood supply. ..
I had cramping a couple days before and had bright red spotting. I thought it was AF so I put in a tampon as I was sure it would come while I was sleeping. In the morning my temp was still very high- I had a triphasic chart, and there was no need for the tampon. So I decided to test preparing myself for BFN but I walked into the bathroom and there was 2 lines.
No bleeding, just cramping. The cramping was very sharp and only lasted a few hours but I remember thinking at the time that's what it was, and I was right. Someone described it as pinching and I think that's right - but really really hard pinching!
I usually get cramping and bloating and this 'heavy feeling' a few days before AF. Every month I was TTC, I'd google 'can AF symptoms be implantation/pregnancy' and turn up lots of positive threads which gave me hope. And then I'd get AF. When I actually got my BFP, the same thing happened. It was IDENTICAL to how it was every month I was TTC. I had already told SO that this month was a wash, and had moved on. Only then AF never showed up and the cramping/heavy feeling eventually subsided and I got a BFP.
Some of you all are giving me a lot of hope! I've been cramping forever but Thursday I got this very sharp sensation like a hook pulling me from behind. AF is due next week...
