Cramping

This morning, I had some pretty uncomfortable cramping.  It felt very much like my period would be starting, but it is too early for that--only 8 DPO.  Several people told me that they experienced cramping at the time of implantation, so I used Dr. Google to comfirm.

Cramping

Some women will experience light cramping as the egg implants into the uterine lining. This cramping can feel more or less extreme than PMS. For many women it is located on either the left or right side; possibly due to side of the uterus the fertilized egg implants on.

Some women experience the cramping more in the evening than during the day. Some have it for a few hours only while others will experience it for days.

Overall, these cramps can distinguish themselves from menstrual cramps as they come sooner than PMS cramps would. It can also be a sign of pregnancy if you generally do not suffer from menstrual cramps.

Of course, I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but it is something I haven't experienced before.  They only lasted for about an hour and everything has been normal since then.
