Pregnant or AF -- Have you had this??

Hello! I have a question maybe anyone can help me with. Im just curious if any of you have experienced this. I normally have pretty normal periods, 29 day cycles, same pms symptoms every month etc. Anyway, this month has been very different. DH and I have been ttc for 4 mo now and this month is different. My LMP was 9/13, we bd 9/27 and I ovulated 9/28. About 6dpo I started getting mild crampiness that has increased and gotten stronger over the past week making me thing that AF was coming even though I havent experienced any other normal pms signs. A few days ago I started getting ewcm which I never get except at ovulation time. I woke up this morning feeling absolutely awful! Stronger cramping, nausea, headache, lower back pain, dizziness,increased EWCM and mild breast tenderness. I ate dry toast for breakfast and am now starting to feel a little better. I still have the abdominal cramping like Ive had for the past week but thats it now. AF is due tomorrow so Im just confused because this is very unusual for me. Has any of this happened to anyone else and they found out they were actually pregnant? I will test next week if AF doesnt show, I dont want to test too early even though the wait is killing me!! Please let me know--thanks!!

Baby Dust to All!!

My AF started 9/16 and I have been feeling tired, hungry, crampy. I have already taken 4 HPTs (early response) all neg. I will either start my AF tomorrow or test again.I would suggest not testing for as long as you can hold out. The wait is awful and very thought consuming. Good luck.

Here is an update to my previous post. Maybe this is another sign. As I mentioned earler I have been having abdominal achiness and getting stronger cramping for over a week, last night I had very strong cramps and abdominal tightening. That last for a little while then after that the cramps started to get a little less, started to feel more like a pulled muscle in my tummy more than cramping, and I started having these strong twinges on my right side--all of which is highly irregular for me when AF is coming. I am supposed to start today and nothing yet??!! Prayers and good thoughts today! I will test in a few days if she doesnt come! Thanks!

Anita,

Sounds good to me so far!

Good luck, but again, hold off as much as you can before you test, better to get a real BFP than a BFN too early on.
