Question about cramping

I hope someone has experienced this before & can enlighten me. Anyway, I'm not due for AF until next Wed (19th). I had a period last month, but very light & mostly brown, which is making me start to believe that it could have been implantation bleeding, especially since in the last 2 weeks I have had major sypmtoms (very, very, bloated, nausea, light headed, constipated, heartburn, burping, etc). Last night, I started feeling some cramping. As far as I could tell, it pretty much felt like AF cramps, however, I cannot recall ever getting cramps over a week before AF, I usually only get them when I have AF. Today, I felt them again, but this time they felt like they were lower in my stomach than normal, and the pain was also shooting all the way down to my V (sorry, I really hate that word)!! And as I type right now, I am having some sort of cramping (right below belly button) but it's sort of different, it's like a cross between period cramps and gas cramps (I just ate lunch, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it - it could just be gas)! Anyway, has any else felt ANYTHING like this or am I just nutty!?? LOL! Help! I'm waiting to test until I miss AF (if I do)! I really hope I am! Maybe this is just wishful thinking!! What do you think?? Also, after I typed this the first time (posted in wrong spot) I was feeling a pain just on the left side. What's up with that??!?!

You're definantly not alone there girly, I've been having the same symptoms you are having now for a little over a month, I've gotten negative results on HPT's and have had doctors tell me it's just gaseous acid in my intestines, but, I don't feel like that is all that it is! We're testing again Friday morning just to make sure, and December 3rd I'm going in for Blood work, yes I know that's quite a wait away, but If I get a negative result on this test Firday I can put my mind at ease a little and not worry about being pregnant, but if it's positive we'd be more than happy!!! Also if we get an sure result my next af is Thanks Giving Day, so if I miss it than, I'll know there is a very good chance that I could be pregnant....Good luck to you, wait until AF is due and if she doesn't show test, just a lil warning though, my last AF (due Halloween) first day I just got spotting and I thought it was implantation bleeding, good sign, but the next day it was heaveyer, but it was very ir-regular, and that's when we tested, (negative) I suguest if you get that, an ir-regular next AF go see a doctor, cause sometimes the pain is too much to handle, I've let it go on too long, and I've almost passed out from it, we'll get it figured out though, good luck and if you want to be pregnant, lot's of baby dust your way!

Thank you! Good to know I'm not alone! I also tested last monday (10th) which would have made me about 5 1/2 to 6 weeks if that truly was implantation bleeding last month but the test was negative. Could I still possibly be?? From what I've read from other postings, it seems as though it's possible. That is why I'm waiting until next wed (or the day after, if I don't get AF) to test. It's hard, but I can't keep wasting money on these stupid tests!! Thanks for the baby dust...to you also! We weren't planning this, but it doesn't change how I feel and I REALLY want to be pg!!!! Hey, you can't plan everything! Thanks again!

Don't let your hopes fall, but don't rely on them and make youself believe you are pregnant because another negative and negative results from doctors can really cause you to go insane! I've felt this way before, like I've said, and it's been a UTI, but I've been treated for a UTI since I've felt this way the deginning of October, and I still feel the same, nothing has changed! I feel pregnant, we weren't planning this either, but we'd be way excited if it is true....we've been married for a year and almost 2 months (on the 14th) and DH doesn't think he can settle down now for a baby, but I keep telling him it still gives him 9 months if I am pregnant to settle down, which will be good. My loswer abdomen is really tight and hard, it's never felt like that before, and I've been peeing alot today more than usual and more than I have been since I've felt this way....AF isn't due until TG Day but we're testing Friday......thanks for the baby dust, best of luck...keep testing and get into a doctor as soon as you can....yes I know HPT are expensive but we've seam to only have to bye one so far, I'm not all the pushy pushy to test, I can wait for things, but this is driving me nuts, the end of this month is a long time, but right now I'm looking forward to seeing my Female Doctor the 3rd of december, and that will happen after AF is supposed to show her face...if no, oh happy day and hopefully we'll be on our way.
