What do implantation cramps feel like? Do they feel like gallbladder pain?

Question

I have had my gallbladder out and know what a gallbladder attack feels like. Is this similar to what implantation cramps would feel like? I have also experienced what I feel would be heartburn lately. Is that a sign?

Answer 1

Ouch!!! No, they do *not* feel like gallbladder pains. Gallbladder pains are among the most painful thing you can experience!!

Implantation is usually not experienced at all. If you do have cramps, they would be mild and short-lived (only a few hours to a day at most), and low in your abdomen. It would happen sometime in the week before your period is due (possibly the first day or two of your missed period).

Answer 2

Sometimes during the month at ovulation, the woman will feel some pain in either side where the ovary produced an egg and it was expelled. If during this time, sex occurs, then implantation can take place. Some woman, on implantation have reported a cramping feeling, similar to mild menstruation cramps. However, it if sharp, constant, etc. I would ask my OB-GYN about this. Also, if trying to conceive and the woman uses something like Clomid, a stronger cramp can occur with ovulation and implantation. However, some woman experience no pain and will not know that they are pregnant. Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Answer 4

Implantation cramps are usually milder than pre-menstrual cramps.

Are you sure that you haven't just been eating food with too much fat? People without gall bladders really need to avoid fatty and fried foods because of impeded digestion.

Answer 5

i think the breast sensitivity is normal. i went up a cup size when i was on the pill, experienced sensitivity too. if you dont like the side effects, there are plenty of alternatives/brands. to me it sounds like hypochondria, tbh, tho im no doctor. those symptoms could easily be linked to stress and anxiety. if you are still anxious after completing all of these tests, then the above makes more sense.
