Implantation Cramps, Explained
When you’re trying to conceive — and particularly in the excruciating “two week wait” between ovulation and the day when you can finally take a pregnancy test — it’s normal to be on the hunt for any early signs of pregnancy, like implantation cramping.
We asked OB-GYN Dr. Tiffany Wells to explain what implantation cramps really are, what they feel like, and what it means if you don’t notice them at all.

What is implantation and when does it happen?
“Implantation is where the blastocyst has moved down into the uterus and is now attaching to the uterine wall. When that happens, you release what's called prostaglandins, and prostaglandins are actually what make you cramp,” Wells explains.
Implantation cramping can happen about a week after ovulation, Wells explains, so it’s understandable that many people who are trying to conceive are on the look-out for these very particular cramps. Unfortunately, even if you think you’ve felt them, you’ll still need to wait about a week — depending on the length of your cycles — to take a pregnancy test.
