Understanding Implantation Pain & Trying to Conceive
QuestionI'm 23, never pregnant before, my last perid was 5/22/06-5/26/06. I do not have regular perids they come every 3-6 months. I was given Provera to induce a perid a few months ago and it worked. I have never had an STD of any kind was last tested 6 months ago and I've had the same partner for 8 years. This perid came naturaly. My husband and I are TTC. I took 100mg of Clomid days 5/26-5/30 of my cycle. We had sex 6/3 and 6/5 of my fertle days. I was taking the dollar store home ovulation predicters everyday but they never came up possitive. Are there conditions that will cause false resalts in ovulation tests? I think I did ovulate because on 6/2 I was extreamly emotional. Now I think I could be pregnant but I don't want to get my hopes up. On 6/9/06 2pm I started having cramps in my abdomen center and left side and I feel bloated. The cramping lessened untill it stopped 6/11 when I woke up this a.m. Could this be implantation pains? It felt like menstral cramps. My sister had pain with her first child. I still feel bloated and for the past 4 days my nipples have been extreamly sore (can't touch them or sleep on my stomach as I normally do). Can an ovarian cyst cause these symptoms? Are there other conditions that may cause these pains and discompfort? Thank You for your help. I just need to calm down.
AnswerI assume that you meant that your period started on April 22 and that you started the Clomid on April 26,27,28,29,and 30. You probably ovulated on May 5 and you could have conceived if you had sex on May 4,5,6, or 7. If you did concieve on one of those days, implantation occurs 8 days later (after fertilization). The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your next period. You are due for your period on May 19. If you do not get your period by May 26, take a pregnancy test. Good luck.
