Hi,

Just wanted to share my experience over the last few cycles. I got crampy around a week before my normal AF time, and cramped all the way to AF. Had some nausea too and food didn't taste good. I got pretty excited b/c I normally don't get cramps until the day before or the day of AF's big arrival. But, AF came nonetheless. I had a similar thing happen a few cycles ago too. This cycle I started having mild cramps around 3DPO! But I'm trying to not think about it, since I've already been fooled twice and it was super disappointing both times.

That being said, cramping is certainly a possible PG sign. So, as always, it could be PG or it could be AF. Terrible, I know.

My advice, for what it's worth, is to not think much of it and just keep busy during the horrid 2WW.

like previously said, I have them sometimes prior to AF when we're TTC for some reason. BUT, I ALSO got them with both of my pregnancies...so, you never know! Still a good chance!

I have been having the same thing going on..the cramps are soo bad in my pelvis and lower back I can't even stand it anymore! I never noticed cramps like this before AF so I'm not sure what to think either. I swear if I was 9 months pregnant I'd think I was in labor that's how painful and annoying it is!


Are you going to retest or wait a few more days?

yes thats how mine feel i just came from the bathroom and i am dry and nothing i had a somewhat bm and no spotting.. yes i will retest sunday if she not here...


I am very very dizzy like I am going to pass out .. when i test I am using something diff for some reason think the mui was to high for an early result but maybe it's me..


my 1st preg i was 5.5 wks and i cramped like you stated like i was in labor and very sore bb's and i was very dizzy i saw stars (lol) now with this cycle i wld just be 4wks so i don't know if that makes a diff sometimes when you further along more things happen i am not sure..
