Alright you prego mamas! What were the differences between implantation cramping vs PMS cramping...if any at all. And, how many of you would say that before you tested positive everything was pretty much identical to PMS symptoms? I'm so curious and actually have a great shot this month due to various reasons. Just need some experienced women to answer :)
 
exactly the same for me, only pregnancy cramping started about 3 days before af was due, i usually only get cramps about 10 minutes before it arrives

Thanks! I've been having cramping for the last three days or so. I'm soppse to start in 2 or 3. I had a D&C and polype removal dut to a botched D&C from a misscarriage over a year ago. This is the first time my uterous has been ready to concieve and I sure hope I am
 
everything was the same for me. I am a spotting and spotted a week before af which was normal. then i spotted again 4 days before. which i thought was wierd. thats the only thing i noticed different. i thought it was af. i had cramps for 2 days before af was due and they still continue. I did not feel any cramps around the time i got the spotting or IB bleeding.

same thing happened to me except it was 2 days before AF was due. the cramp feels different too, it was on the right side and like a weird pinching/pulling.

PMS cramps for me was usually at the centre and the pulling was stronger.
 
Thanks so much for all of your responses. We just got pregnat the very first time we tried over a year ago and because a doctor wasn't careful she messed up the D&C and changed everything for us. Now this Jan we had a surgery to correct it all but It's been such a long year. I'm so ready to move on so I appreciate the answers from you all
I'm pretty sure I'm out for the month though. :/ I sort of keep having that PMS type cramping off and on and this morning my temp dropped to 98.2 (which is still above the coverline but my lowest post O temp.) Tomorrow is cycle day 28 so we shall see. Next month my doctor has me on 100mg of clomid....maybe to just jump start my body after the Procedure because so far, with all of my charting, I ovulated pretty well....I just hope that things are really looking up and that it won't take another year :,( Anyone have lower temps(still above your coverline) that discovered they were pregnant?
 
Cramps felt exactly the same. We were working with a fertility doctor and I actually told my DH that we were out for that month, I could feel AF coming. The next day I got my BFP! I never charted or did temps, its just too stressful for me! But as far as my symptoms, it felt just like PMS, I didn't start feeling "pregnant" until I was 6 or 7 weeks
 
My cramps were horrible I was convinced it was gonna be the worst period ever. I had everything pms related sore boobs, cramps, bloating it was terrible waiting for something I just wanted to hurry up and be over with. Then the light bulb came on when I realiized how late I was.
 
Really?!?!?! Thanks ladies. Gives me so much encouragement! Temps went back up a little today. Now I'm not feeling much of anything. I mean occassional random cramping and some moodiness but not as bad as a yesterday or the day before. CD 28 is tomorrow but I'm not going to test until CD 33, unless AF comes, because the latest I have ever been is CD 32. I'm nervous. This month is a real shot for us because of the polyp removal and D&C. My uterous is actually ready for the first time in over a year....We will see. Just praying for peace.
 
Did you remember that with any of your boys? That same feeling or was this the first time you felt that much like PMS before your BFP?
 
I almost left work in agony 7dpo which I believe was implantation cramps - felt like PMS cramps x 100 :-/

Don't remember anything like that with my first pregnancy though, so guess each pregnancy really is different! X

Really? Well, I'm on CD 29 now and AF is still a no show. I'm mostly fine but randomly have that PMS/PMS cramp feeling through the day and sometimes early morning. Like I said, I'm not testing until CD 33 because before this proceedure I had a few cycles last that long. Mostly between 28-32 days. I won't if I will be more regular now. I mean, with tissue and polyps in a uterous doesn't that cause things to get messed up? My lining was super thick too because of that so a baby couldn't implant if it wanted to. I'm looking forward to either starting or CD 33! ha! The waiting is killing me!
 
For me, the implantation cramping was only during one night and a week before my period was due.
 
I remember having HORRIBLE gas pains, followed by *TMI TMI TMI* the worst diarrhea I think I've ever had, that was probably about 9 dpo. CD33 is such a long time to wait! I dont know if I can stand the anticipation!
 
Well not to be gross but I have had both those things too. Whoch is weird for me because normally I can't even go. But I'm almost positive I will be starting any minute. On cd 30 right now. Never been past 32. I have that terrible PMS feeling. Not just crampy oir twingy but really Ready to start any minute feeling. :( My chest isn't as sore and I'm not as bloated either. Bleh. ALready put my precscrip for clomid in and now I'll just wait to start and take that 3-7 like the doc ordered, That will be my second cycle post proceedure so we will see if my body is going to cooperate
 
Felt pretty much the same thing like AF.

1 or 2 weeks after bfp - strong cramps first thing in the morning - felt like period was about to start. They were strong enough to wake me from sleep, then subside during the day, then again in the morning. All that went away by week 9 I think?
 
I still have strong cramps that feel JUST LIKE AF is about to start! The day before my BFP I just KNEW I was out, I told my husband that the money we spent that month was wasted, I just knew I wasn't pregnant. There was no real "I feel pregnant" symptoms until several weeks later. Not trying to give you false hope, just sayin it aint over til its over!
 
I felt very sore in the pubic area. It wasn't really cramps, maybe stretching? I didn't get any spotting/bleeding whatsoever.
