in My baby was born in May 2011
Sorry to g/c ladies from DIJ but I thought you ladies might have the answer..

I am 11DPO and had my BFP at 8DPO. I am having a dull ache/cramp in my left groin/hip area. It eventually travels down into my leg. Am petrified it could be a bad sign.. Convincing myself of the worst. I have had it today since about 5.30 and also had it in the evening at about 7/8 DPO in the same place. Any advice or ideas much appreciated..

MrsEH

oooh and good luck to all you lovely ladies. image

    Hi Mrs EH,

    I remember getting period type pains very early in my pregnancy say between 3- 5 weeks in or so, but that was all part of the pregnancy experience. Is it that type of pain you are experiencing?

    sorry i cant be of much help, not had that kind of thing myself...& not quite sure what dpo stands for, i blame pregnancy brainimage ...
    tho i wouldnt automatically think it signals a problem, you can get aches & pains from your uterous stretching & could posibly be affecting a nerve.... but again as ive not had it i wouldnt like to say anything for definate sorry xx

    Hi, I'd say it's probably just stretching and nothing to worry about. But if it gets any worse, if you get lower back ache or/and you feel constipated type pain call nhs24. I don't want to worry you but I had that last time with my ectopic and I had no idea to look out for those symptoms.

    But I am currently 6+5 and have aches andniggling pains mostly in one side at a time and I've had an early scan so know things are in the right place. So don't panic, as it'll be nothing but I always thinks it better to know what to look out for.

    Hi MrsEH, I know itts easy 4 me to say, but try not to worry. This is all completely normal and I experienced the same when I first found out I was PG and for a couple weeks after. I still get the odd twinge now and then aswell.

    hellonumber3!! 'dpo' stands for 'Days Past Ovulation' lol
