Hi,

I had donor insemination June 20 & 21. I'm scheduled to start my period on July 8. I have been very moody the last 2 days as I normally would be. I am also experiencing the usual sensation I have in my lower pelvic region- it's hard to explain- i'm not sure how many others get it- it's a mild mild cramping but almost like I feel like I'm going to start to flow- I usually get this as well. I had pretty much given up hope that the insemination took until I read a couple of posts on here about women still having periods (although some lighter). I can't even test myself until the 4th and I go back to the clinic on the 5th anyway for the test. I don't want to get my hopes back up but has anyone felt their usual body changes that happen before their period and still been pregnant?

thanks alot for any input :-)

With my first child and only child so far, I had been having all the regular symptoms for before my cycle and so I put off testing. We were not trying at the time and I wondered but did not think it so. I did not have my cycle but I have heard of women having a light and short one when pregnant so it is possible. I hope this helps and I hope it all works out for you.
