Cramps 6dpo????

Been crampy in the lady area for the last 3-4 days and I'm only 6dpo give or take few days for ovulation being early or late. Is this normal? Is this a good or a bad sign? I never get cramps unless on first or second day of period. I havent had any spotting. I did have quite a lot of creamy white discharge yesterday enough that I kept going to loo expecting to see blood. Sorry if tmi. Cramps were that bad last night that I considered using a hot water bottle which I would normally do on my period but I worried the heat might affect what's hopefully happening down there - silly I know! Was hoping it would have stopped but seems to be carrying on today :( can anyone shed any light? Are you experiencing the same thing?

Depends on the person and the pregnancy but I defninitely got light cramping at the time my period was due. Felt like period was coming. Light brownish discharge (like beginning of a period) too.

Btw it is normal to have cramping around implantation which would be about a week dpo so it could be a good sign...but I found my body played a lot of tricks on me when ttc. Take a (early) test at 9dpo if no af. Some people get a bfp at 7/8 dpo but I think 9dpo more reliable.

Thank you christelle I have 10 cheaply tests at home so might test tonight/tomorrow morning. My cycle does vary between 26 and 32 days do I have been basing my calculations on 29 but I could be earlier or later than I think

I've been cramping really bad for 2 days now. Keep expecting it to be AF but nothing. I'm only off the pill by 2 weeks so I have no idea where in the cycle is.

Last month I cramped every day from 6dpo up until AF arrived and the same has started happening this month so I'm guessing this is just what my body does. Already expecting a BFN this month. Sigh.

If you're only 6dpo, I wouldn't say there was much point in taking a test yet Smile

This month I had very bad cramping from 5-7dpo. I had a bit of spotting in 8dpo and got my BFP at 9dpo although crazily faint. Got stronger on 10dpo :)

It might all be worth it, fingers crossed for you :)

I had the same last night, it started round the front and continued to get stronger whilst it went right into my lower back.

Last month I had cramp from 9-11dpo then af showed up at 13dpo. Not sure what to think!
