Pregnant? Got Cramping/Spotting

Hi! New to iVillage and 1st time on a message board (sorry, I don't know abbreviations yet). This is our 2nd month trying, been off the pill for close to a year. This past month we used temp and the fertility planner to see optimal dates. Last period was 2/12 and took a preg test this morning that resulted in faint pink positive line :)

I had very mild spotting on Thurs and today and also have cramping today. Is it normal to have any cramping??? Am I really preggers!!!

Would call my OBGYN, but I just moved to Greensboro, NC and don't have a dr yet!
Any advice as to the cramping, spotting and when to retest is appreciated!!!

Hello,


From what I have read, some cramping is normal and as long as the spotting isnt bright red you should be okay. I would definately look in the phone book and find a OB/GYN near to you and make an appointment to be sure. You may even consider going to the ER.

Thanks for the advice. I actually went to a dr. today that a co-worker recommended and they confirmed that I'm pregnant!!! 5 weeks 2 days :)
Haven't seen the dr. yet, but they should be doing a 9 wk ultrasound :)
THanks again!
