lower abdominal cramping

Hi all,

I am new here and it is so good that I found this board so I don't feel so desperate and alone for the 2ww! :-)

I ovulated on either 17th or 18th, and today (actually just started half an hour ago) I feel very light lower abdominal cramping. I wouldn't say it is pain, also it is also different from pre-menstrual pain. (It is a little bit like when the baby is having "hiccups" in the womb--from my vague memories from carrying my son 4 years ago ^_^).

I did have a test yesterday (sorry I am still catching up on all those acronyms lol!) but it came negative.

Any thoughts?

Hi. I ovulated around the same time. Starting Saturday I began having a lot of pressure/light cramping. It's been on and off ever since. As you said, different than PMS cramping. I hope it's good news for both of us. I've managed not to test yet, maybe Wednesday if I can't hold out any longer. Good luck!

i also have just started experiencing some light cramps today, i ovulated around the 15 0r 16...i also have some light headaches, feel tired, and feel like im gonna throw up a lil. I did however get my 'period' on the 28 of may so....but i heard that you could get the first couple of periods and still be preggo :) i am dying to test!!! i think maybe i will try to wait a couple days as well to test...unless anyone thinks i can test now?.....any advice would be greatly appreciated, i don't wanna wait!! Anyway, good luck and keep us posted! (i can receive emails :))
