yep, both times.

Ended up taking codydramol, using hot hot water bottle, all sorts of bad things to take the pain away.

Both times. You'd think I'd learn, really.

Best of luck

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/03/2006 21:59

I did, both times. fingers crossed for you.

Hello

I am 31 weeks pregnant with second child, first time I had no symptoms and felt normal up to due date, this time I was convinced it had not worked as I had spots, pmt and the usual cramps. Tested with first response 3 days before i was due and it was negative and then woke up with no period three days later and thought I might as well waste the other test in the pack which turned very slowly to a positive result :) was so faint but there!

good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moomin, I noticed on another thead that you took Clomid. How many months before you got preg?

Spod, yes, with all 4 pregnancies! Cramps started about 5 days after 'it', and lasted for up to 10 days. First time I was sure I was going to come on, on the others I recognised it. Apparantly its the implantation of the egg that does it. Good luck and let us know!

Psychobabble I felt sick too but I thought it was the heat and my mum has pills that stop you feeling sick and I asked her did she have any but she didnt - just as well!!

Spod - any news?

MissChief · 03/02/2006 09:33

yes.

Hallgerda · 03/02/2006 09:25

Yes. I had cramps and turbulent emotions, far worse than normal PMT, at the early stages of all my pregnancies.

yes - I did with dd we where in America and my sister took her af and all week I kept saying to her - your so luck I just wish mne would come as this cramp is kiilling me - anyway they didnt come and 2 weeks later I thought I had a caught a bug on the aeroplane home and phoned my doctor who told me that she thought I could be pregnant (had been trying for months and she knew)and hey presto sure enough!!

lucy5 · 02/02/2006 22:48

When i got preggers with dd, i just knew before i tested but I think im talking myself into it.

Anyway fingers crossed spod, let me know how you get on. Im going to leave testing for a few days as i would be more upset about a negative test than a period, if that makes sense. Anyway best of luck!

singersgirl · 02/02/2006 22:45

Yes, all 3 times. Quite mild cramps with some brownish spotting.

believe me I'd had every sympton on god's earth after ttc for 2 years! i think i 'knew' this was the month though because there was no escaping the size of my boobs or how they felt when i took my bra off! i think this caused the sleeplessness and excitement - i was soooo nervous in case it turned out to be another disappointing month! oh, the other thing was that i was very hungry and thirsty. all the best- hope you get what you hope for xx

lucy5 · 02/02/2006 22:29

ooh moomin youre making me worse

Moomin · 02/02/2006 22:26

i had cramps the week i was due on but i also had very sore and big boobs and i felt weird - very butterfly-y and nervous, kept waking in the night. the cramps carried on for the first 6 weeks

lucy5 · 02/02/2006 22:24

Spod we could be in the same boat Im not rying but have just felt a little weird today. sore boobs and a tight feeling in my stomach. I cant remember when my last period was, which isnt very helpful. Im getting quite excited but i am not sure if I am talking myself into it. I am now secretly hoping that I am. If im not the way im feeling is enough to convince me that the time is right to try again. Will keep my fingers crossed for you

gingernut · 02/02/2006 22:16

Yes, with my first and I took ibuprofen too thinking it was AF arriving. After a few days I thought Af was taking a long time to get going, so I did a test and hey presto.

yes. I was taking tons of ibuprofen and it was only cos they went on for twice as long as normal that i did a test. (after someone telling me that she heard it was a sympton)

Then of course I was worried sick I damaged the baby with the drugs.

But since ttc no 2 and not succeeding I have the same thing, cramps for twice as long as usual with no nice +ve at the end.

LeahE · 02/02/2006 22:10

Yes, I didn't bother to test because the cramps had me so convinced AF was coming (hmm, not for another 18 months she wasn't...). Best of luck!
