Dull - Sharp pains on left side??? Not O

OK, i haven't been on since last month, when AF snuck up, and it was almost too much to take! LMP Sept. 11, O'd on 25th. Sunday night 9/28, i started having cramps like AF was coming. All Monday, i had dull to sharp pains on and off, on my left side, near ovaries, it continued most of Tuesday morning. I know that i already O'd.... Does anyone know what these pains could be caused by? Is it at least a glimmer of hope? Could it be implantation so soon? AF is due around 10/9. Any and all advice is welcomed.

Thanks

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that I am going through this as well. My LMP was on the 12th, my calander says I o'd somewhere from the 21st to the 25th and the ovulation gusser thing on another website said I o'd on the 28th. We have BD many times and we are not really trying, but wouldnt mind a 4th. I went off the patch in Aug. And I too had some pain on my left side last week, I have been nausious, I have had headaches, bloated, went to the bathroom this morning and had to go again in 15 minutes. My bb's are sore. I am not sure if it is just mental at this point. I tested this morning thinking what the H*ll and it was neg. I had my annual on Monday and the Dr. handed me a precription for pre-nates, I told him we werent trying to get pg and he said that it is a good idea to take them anyways with natrual family planning. I laughed!! I charted for 2 years between dd and ds and didnt get pg until I stopped. I think I am excited about the idea of a fourth. DH which has been completly against the idea is getting the baby bug too. Sorry this is so long. Just wanted to wish you luck!!!

Thank you both for your warm wishes. I promised myself i wouldn't get too excited, but i just can't help it. DH and I have been trying for 3 years now. I already have an 8 year old son. Which is wonderful, but i'd love another bundle of joy! I'm not sure if my "symptoms" are mental or not, because it seems every month i find a few to make me hope, i'm sure you all know how that goes. Other than the pains i had the other day, i have no other symptoms, but after all i've been through maybe that's a good thing!? I wish you both the best, you'll be in my prayers.

Hi there! I am in the exact same position. LMP was 9/15 and I O'd on the 25th or 26th. I have a shorter cycle and AF is due on Oct. 10th. On Sunday (and still today) I have had minor but persistent cramping on my left side near my ovaries and low back pain. It does seem like PMS, but as you know, it's way too early. I was thinking that maybe it could be something else, but reading your post makes me hope just a little. I guess we'd be due at the same time if we are preganant :) Is this your first?

Hopefully, someone with some experience will post in reponse. I am anxious to hear from others with similar experiences too. Take Care!

No, this would be my third pregnancy. I have an 8 year old son, and i m/c in 98. Both were unplanned so I didn't pay as much attention to symptoms, plus it was just so long ago. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But it's good to know, that a lot of other people are having the same symptoms, i guess!? I haven't had anymore pain since Tue., and besides being very tired, I don't have any other symptoms. If we are, we can be due date buddies! I wish you all the best, don't give up hope.
