Discomfort & Pressure/Lower in Lower Abdomen/Uterus (4-5DPO)

[ttc4number1]

Hi everyone. Ok, let me start off by saying I've never temped. I ordered a BBT off Amazon 2 days ago so I plan to start temping next cycle. I think i'm 4 or 5DPO today but yesterday after me and DH BD'd i had this HORRIBLE cramping/pulling pain in my lower abdomen/uterus. I figured it would just because of intercourse. Well when I woke up today, I still have a dull pain down there (i feel it when i cough, push my stomach out, etc.) and every now and then I feel a cramp. Tell me if any of you have had this before. It's our 3rd month TTC and i'm really losing hope HELP! Oh and also, my gums bled this morning when I brushed my teeth.

Didn't want to read and run.....

Got no advice sorry, but the exact same thing happened to me at 4/5 dpo so would be interested to see what others say?

Didn't want to read and run, I'm not sure about the pressure in the uterus...maybe implantation? I had some twinges/pulling about 6-7dpo and hoping that's what it was. The gums bleeding could be a symptom as changes in hormones due to pregnancy can cause this. Good luck!

I really hope so! It's just a dull pain down there. But i'm starting to wonder if this always happens after ovulation and i'm not just symptom spotting? AHHH! I don't know...i really hope this is a good sign though because it doesn't feel normal! But I hope it's not my intercourse last night that caused it..

You may have a small cyst and need to see a Dr. I had one last month and it burst on its own, but I had these symptoms from 3dpo-11dpo.

Been having the same thing since 1 dpo. I'm 4 dpo. I had a similar thing during my TWW last July when I got PG (although I ended up having a m/c).

Good luck!

 

[katertots]

Whooohoooooo goodluck tititimes2!

 

[ttc4number1]

That's awesome- describe what you have tititimes2...give me some hope because i REALLY want this!

ttc4number1 - I've had quite a few things early on but I did last time and I got a BFP on 8 dpo. I refuse to test that early thought b/c for me the let down of seeing a BFN early on is just too much. So I will wait it out (so I keep telling myself) for several more days this time.

I've had vivid dreams I can remember since 1 dpo; every night. Achey abdomen and twinges in the lower abdomen/uterine area. Strong sense of smell. Alot things just seem overwhelming for me. I almost killed my DH after he came into the bedroom last night and sprayed foot spray after I was trying to sleep! And I've been tired every day although today I wasn't as tired as the last few days. Creamy CM, hot flashes, runny nose, constipation and irritability for 2 days. I know I'm not imagining it. I just hope that I get that BFP. And that you girls get yours too!

I HOPE SO TOOOOO! I havent had many sympoms..just lower pelvic pressure boobs are A LITTLE sore but not unbearable..

I just checked back and mine started at 5dpo, with the lower dull ache like just above the pubic line. I got my bfp at 11dpo. Good luck, ladies!

 

[Girlnextdoor]

Oh, and I have had it every day since.

 

[Girlnextdoor]

I should say that mine didn't start from sex though. I hadn't had sex for 6 days. But, last time I was pregnant, my cervix was also sensitive so either way I think it is a good sign.

 

[caedensmom]

I have had almost completely the same symptoms as you. I am currently 5 DPO and for the last 3 days I have a had this dull aching pain in my uterus. Anytime that I cough or jump or anything like that it feels really odd...almost like as if i was really bloated. I have also had very vivd dreams every single night for the last 5 days which is very strange....wondering if its hormones...also my sense of taste seems a bit more sensitive....i was a loser and did a test today knowing it was too early and of course I got a BFN...am really trying to wait til the 26th to test again.

 

[ttc4number1]

I really hope this is it for us girls! Cross your fingers i don't think i've EVER been so excited for a headache as I am now lol one's slightly coming on. Girlnextdoor...what other symptoms did you have every day? Because i'm not having many at all

 

[katertots]

I am not having any symptoms except this dull ache in the right side now. I am 5dpo today. I did feel like I was going to throw up a little while ago, but I feel better now. Not sure what is going on. Temp is still high.

 

[Arimas]

I didnt have any pain or pressure until now, 9dpo, on my left side i feel pressure, and for the past 2 nights my gums bled from brushing, which doesnt happen, so i also would like to know where this goes,

Good luck to all **baby dust***

 

[Tititimes2]

How are you doing today ladies? Seems like symptoms are going around. Everyone is different when it comes to symptoms though so don't despair. I just comparmint symptoms to what I felt before my m/cs as a frame of reference.

Let's keep the faith for our forever babies!

 

[ttc4number1]

My pains not near as bad today as it was yesterday and the day before. Still keeping my fingers crossed. I'm 4 or 5 DPO today...when would be a good time to test ladies? LETS ALL CROSS OUR FINGERS

 

[katertots]

Fingers crossed!!! I would say 10dpo-14dpo To be safe
