what does an implantation pinch feel like?

[koj518]

I had sharp pinching pains today and wondered if it was implantation pain..

I am at 8dpo (give or take a day because I don't track my temps). At first it felt like my ab muscle was pulling slightly and on a pain scale of 1-10 (10 being severe) it was like a 1. The pain quickly went away but then 2hrs later it felt like the pain came back with a vengeance. It was a pretty sharp pinching/pulling pain and went up to about a 5 or 6 on the pain scale. The pain was made worse with sudden movement but again this pain went away rather quickly. about 2hrs after that I am still having sporadic pulling/pinching pain.

Does this sound like implantation pain to you??

Thanks in advance!

Oh! and I forgot to mention that it's only on my left side of my abdomen!

It sounds like implantation to me! I just went through it and that is exactly what it felt like...except it was all on my right side. First it felt like a pulling above my right hip and ribs, and sharp pains in the lower right abs. Now that I am a few days past implantation it is a lot of pressure rather than pulling. Once the pressure started I tested positive!!! I had no bleeding during implantation just the pulling feeling... Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

It felt like a sharp, localized cramp to me, on my left side, very low. Not nearly a 5 or 6 though, maybe a 2 at most. The BFP came three days later. Good luck!

That's exactly what I'm feeling! And actually, when I woke up this morning I had some pressure in that area... I hope this is a good sign for me but I don't want to get my hopes up... I will definitely keep you posted!

Thanks!! I'm going to roll around in your dust
Yours sounds a lot milder than mine so maybe what I'm feeling is not implantation?? Saturday cannot come soon enough!

I wouldn't rule it out just because mine was milder. Plenty of women don't feel it at all! Everyone's experience is different. Good luck

Thanks seaweed eater (btw, LOVE the name!)

I'm still feeling some very mild pinching and pressure today. but I also starting to get my main AF symptom that I tend to get couple days before my AF (ie, soft stool! ick!) so I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic... I hope my AF stays far far away!!

I never felt any symptoms of implantation so I don't have any advice really. I have heard that it feels a bit like ov pain though if that helps at all.

Thanks!! Actually, I had my first OV pain this month so yes, its very helpful! the pain I'm feeling now is similar to the OV pain I had a little over a week ago and definitely on the same side, but this time the pain is a lot more pinchy and pully than pressure!
