Hi, I'm new here. DH and I have been TTC for a few months now and I was wondering if anyone knows, or can point me in the right direction to get an answer, if PMS symptoms can interfere w/ TTC. My cycles are pretty regular, and I get cramps and spotting before my AF, which is normal, however, these can occur anwhere from a few days to a week before AF. Last month I was crampy and spotting 4-5 days before AF (baby cramps the first few days, and then big cramps right before). This month I was beginning to think I had implantation cramping since I had baby cramps a WEEK before AF came. My cycles are about 30 days and I O around days 15-17, which means that I began cramping around day 23. I am wondering if these early PMS cramps might interfere w/ implantation. Does anyone know???

Thanks!

Hi,

Well that is a good question. I'm actually not sure. The thing is is that I had baby cramps the first trimester when I was pg w/ ds. So I don't think these cramps will injure or make it so it won't implant. But I'm not sure. Maybe someone else knows more? Sorry!

i would have to say that your cramps wouldn't interfere as if you were pregnant then you wouldn't be getting your cramps telling you hey AF is on her way. another reason i say they wouldn't interfere is because i normally get crampy about a week prior for about 10 to 15 minutes and that's it before AF and now for the last 5-6 days ive been having AF cramps only i took my hpt this morning and this afternoon and both came up positive so i cant see it causing problems or more people wouldn't be getting pregnant than not.

thanks my opinion on it anyways! :)
