Another stupid post-O question

Wtf are the various sharp shooting pains I was feeling in the female reproductive area this week?? Around 7-8dpo.

Felt like...brief sharp pains and sometimes just discomfort and pressure. And then even though I'm thinking I ovulated from the right side, I feel the most pains and pressure on the left ^o)

I def did not have this last cycle, I'm betting this second cycle off bcp is the first one I ovulated. Or else I'm just hyper aware of body twinges now.

For the record, I'm not fishing for someone to proclaim "you're pregnant!" I have like, zero symptoms. Boobs have varied in fullness and a few waves of nausea but that totally happens before AF, so I'm like, ok cycle two, be over now that I've gotten a clearer picture of things! I wanna get going onto cycle three! BAM

Once again I just want someone to say they've had this too; totally normal, or explain the potential cause. I like answers lol

I vote gas. Your just being hyper sensitive to your body. Completely normal when you TTC. Just got to keep positive. I would love to tell it's implantation but the likely hood that you really feel that is rare.

I've had that too. One month I had such a sharp pain that I stopped and doubled over. I don't know what it was, but clearly not implantation since I'm not pg

Do you have a history of cysts? If not, I 2nd the gas guess.

[winecheery]

No history of cysts...gas is such an unglamorous thought lol

Gas can hurt like hell!

No idea, but I had the same type of sharp pain yesterday. I'm guessing 8 dpo, I don't know for sure cause my chart is screwed up this month. I'm holding off the urge to POAS until late this weekend. We'll see.

I had similar pains at the same time period last cycle and was googling implantation pain like mad, and convinced myself I was pg
.... I wasn't. lol

It's so funny. Last cycle was my first cycle and I was like grasping at straws to have symptoms that "fit the mold" of being pregnant. This cycle, I'm actually much more aware of what's going on, and I'm actually temping too, so I know my chances for conception and they are pretty well-timed/good, but I feel like, nothing. lol I mean I have some "symptoms" but they're like not exclusive to being pregnant. So they are therefore nothing.

I'm telling myself I'm not pregnant, because I just don't think I am. I'm feeling waaay too good! haha Getting some tiny dull pre-AF cramps too, so I expect her as usual next week. I'm of course bummed at the idea but not surprised.

Yet why do I still want to pee on something! It's like a need, even though I have no reason to. Must. Pee. On. Stick. I'm like a robot lol

[FastHands]

You shouldn't really expect to feel much before you would normally get AF, so having or not having them is pretty much all head games.

[winecheery]

I agree. But tell that to the bazillion women who claim they have implantation pain at 3dpo...! I wouldn't know what implantation feels like to me anyways. I've never been pregnant, so I have nothing to compare it to. One person's twinge is another person's cramp and so on.
