: : : I was just wondering, how long after ovulation before you get implantation cramps? I used a ovulation kit last week and my surge was detected Friday so I had sex, I also had sex on Sunday. Today I have some pretty bad cramps but I know that you can get cramps when you release your egg. Do you think the pain is from releasing my egg and if so, should I have sex again tonight? Or do you think it could be implantation cramps? I would imagine it would be to soon for implantation but I need some advice. Thanks in advance for your help.
: : Usually implantation cramping is a mild/dull menstral like cramping. That is what I experienced with my pregnancy. If the cramps are intense I would tend to say they are not from implantation.
: : When I would release my egg, I would get a painfull cramp on the side of which was releasing and that would last for a couple of hours.
: : Good luck...

: My cramps feel as though I'm about to get my period. Last month I had bad pain on my left side for about half a day and the doctor told me I was releasing my egg. This time, although it started on my right side, it now feels like cramps before my period. I'm really confused, if it is my egg should I have sex tonight? Also, how soon did you experience implantation cramps? Thanks for your help!
I experienced cramping about 3-4 days past ovulation. From there I started with bad bad back aches, and then the sore breasts started about a week after ovulation. Everything felt as though I was going to get my period way too soon.
The sharp cramp pain that you experienced last month was defenately your egg releasing. If you already had that pain this month and now you are having mild menstral like cramping, then it could very well be implantation. Did you notice the releasing pain when your OPK said you should be ovulating?
Best thing to be safe is have sex tonight...It cant hurt. Have it tomorrow as well...and wait a few days and see what symptoms you come up with.
Good luck...
