Implantation of a fertilized egg happens about 7-10 days after ovulation and fertilization (4-7 days before the expected period). When the fertilized egg burrows into the uterine lining, it can cause uterine irritation and release of prostaglandins, which lead to cramps. It can also cause a small amount of spotting, referred to as implantation bleeding. Not every pregnant woman will experience cramps, and there are other explanations for cramp-like abdominal pains. However, cramps can be an early pregnancy sign.

It sounds like a period; I have never had cramps during the first trimester of pregnancy. However, if you have a feeling you are pregnant (we always know things like this; it is instinctual), take a hpt as soon as possible. If money is an issue, your local planned parenthood should offer testing at no charge (and if you are a minor, your information should be kept confidential).

Is it normal for a woman to have pains in her lower belly at 6 or 7 weeks into pregnancy?

While not all women get crampy pains in their lower abdomen in early pregnancy, many do. If the pains are more severe than menstrual cramps or there is any bleeding with the pain you should call your health care provider.

You are a week late and you have funny kinda crampy feelings in your stomach are you pregnant?

First of all, if you have had unprotected sex in recent weeks then it is very possible that you are pregnant, however if you have been also worrying about the chance of pregnance your period may be late through stress. Stomach cramps are a symptom of both pregnancy and beginning your period. If you are usually very regular, i suggest you get a pregnancy test and find out for yourself. If you are not, then i would wait another week or two and keep an eye on your body and watch for any symptoms then take a test at home. IF this is negative, and you still have not come on your period, i suggest going to the doctors.


When you are pregnant does your stomach cramp at the bottom if you are only a week and a half along?
