Tell it to me straight ladies!

I'm not due for AF until Sat, I am very regular and don't usually host AF early but I guess there is always a first time! 5dpo I had light red spotting, I never spot mid cycle. Other symptoms, sure but it's so early are they real or imagined, I just don't know.

Well this morning I felt crampy, like AF crampy. It's subsided a bit now, and no AF but I didn't have this with my first pg (mt DS is 20 months old now).

Thanks for the advice! And let's hope I have to test soon and that AF stays away!

Liz - I sure hope so. I am 11dpo and started cramping some today. I've got sore bbs, headache that won't go away, tired, and slightly nauseous at times. Not sure if it's related to the Femara I took this cycle or it's early pg symptoms.

With my DS I just knew that AF was coming since I was cramping, but nope it finally went away. So early cramping is possible with pg.

Wish you the best!

Ladies,

That cramping is a good sign! I thought my period was going to start with all four of my pregnancies. My sister-in-law, who just found out last week she was pregnant, was telling me the week before that she couldn't be pregnant because she was feeling all crampy. As soon as implantation takes place (4-7 days post ovulation) the blood flow increases to the uterus and everything starts to streatch out of place. I would say that if you are cramping early that you have a pretty good chance of being pg!!

Thanks for the responses!! I really appreciate the positive thoughts. I never thought waiting would be so hard! I'm planning to test on Sunday if I can hold out....

So these cramps are good - bring 'em on! :-)

Good luck to you all too!
