Somewhere between 4-6dpo, sharp cramping in right side, feels like pulled muscle?

Hey ladies,

This month I am having some odd feelings. This is only my third month TTC and this month we really didn't try as hard as we were the other 2 months (didn't pinpoint my O'day by doing OPK like we normally do). I'm on CD 16, somewhere between 4-6 dpo I am guessing, and 11 days away from starting my next period, according to my Flo app (which has been surprisingly accurate lately).

My husband and I BD'd on September 28th (2 days before my expected O'day), and again on the 30th (my expected O'day). Ever since about 2-3 dpo (I think...since I don't know for sure when I O'd) I began having some mild cramping, at first I wouldn't have even called it cramping, it was a very dull sensation but it lasted about half the day both days. Today, 4 dpo, I started having cramps almost like AF was coming, and they were moreso on the right side. As the day went on the cramping in the right side started to feel like it was going down into my right leg even and if I would stretch a certain way and pull that area, it felt like I had pulled a groin muscle or something (which I know for sure I have not). All day it has been like that and currently it's still there but not as sharp as it was earlier.

I have been SUPER MOODY this month. I cried at work yesterday for virtually no reason and it was embarrassing and I am not usually like that. To be honest, I wasn't even going to start thinking about possibly being pregnant until much closer to my expected period, but these things are happening without me even having this on my mind much! So now it's making me crazy. I am wondering if anyone has had cramping this early on around like 4-6 dpo? What could it be, do ya think? It's a pretty strange feeling. I also had a super vivid dream last night for like the entire night. It felt SO REAL!

I think I will test for the first time on 10 dpo, and if it's negative again on from 12 dpo and see what happens. Just hanging out here in the TWW...such a HARD TIME OF THE MONTH.

TTC sometimes makes us look at things a little deeper than we normally would. Could it be a nerve thing?

I kind of get the pain you are describing, I've had something similar a few times but 100% wasn't related to a possible pregnancy (I have a kidney issues and I had an infection, for whatever reason the line of weird pain also went down my leg as well as around my side).

Are you able to take some time out to relax in a bath? Something to help you take your mind off it?

Definitely get it checked out if you are concerned.

I honestly don't know! I don't feel like my nerves are getting worked up, I really don't have a whole lot to be stressed about. I feel like I have had something similar happen to me before but I don't know if it had anything to do with my reproductive system or not. If it continues for a few more days I think I will definitely be making a trip to the doctor to get it checked out.

I have had kidney stones before in my left kidney (about 4 years ago), but that was all in my back and felt nothing like this. I don't think I have a UTI because my pee is really clear and I'm not going anymore than usual. It also doesn't seem like it burns when I go or anything, but I will have to pay more attention to it the next few days.

Thanks for the advice!
