Pulling sensation? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Can anyone explain what the pulling sensation everyone talks about actually feels like? I felt little flutters this afternoon, but I don't think I would describe them as "pulling"? Just curious if it's supposed to be a sharp pain, or more subtle.

I'm currently 10 dpo and obsessing...

Thanks in advance!

Mine was more of a sharp pain, ESPECIALLY when I would stand up from a sitting position to a standing I would almost double over! Also when I coughed and sneezed or even laughed hard I felt it! I still get that some days and I am almost 5 months. I know that its not the same for everyone and some women dont even experience them at all. I found out very early (10dpo) and the pulling sensation probably didnt start until 5-6 days later-but everyone is different. Good luck and sticky baby dust your way!!!

Thank you so much!!!! I love hearing "real" experiences. It's unfortunate that every woman is different though, in terms of symptoms, because it makes it very frustrating in the 2ww! hahaha Oh well, not much longer now. I hate to say I think this could be the month, but...this could be the month!!

I had them with my last pregnancy and am TTC now and am having them again. I will test in one more day!! ANYWAYS For me it is on my right side and it starts as a light dull ache and grows more intense. It sometimes spreads into my back where it seems I can feel the pain moving to my back. It is weird. I also have been getting it lately (few days ago) when I stand too quickly. hmmmm BABY DUST TO US BOTH!!! I hope this helps.
