This is our first cycle ttc #1 after a mmc at 12 weeks in March. Finding the wait so hard! I’ve been having niggly cramps and a pulling feeling for a couple of days now. I’m determined not to test as I really don’t want to see a bfn. Did anyone have cramps before getting a bfp?

@lelrx hey, of course not! Welcome!
I’m so sorry for your mmc, it really is crap. All your symptoms so promising, I’m trying really hard not too. Although my oh had to pull the car over as I felt so nauseous. From what I’ve read it’s still early to test so don’t give up hope yet! I’ve still got the full ache/pulling pain so fx to us all. Fx af stays away! x

Hi girls first month trying after MC last month period not due until next week 7dpo yesterday I had a few bits of brown spotting thought af was coming early and then nothing fingers crossed for us all this month!

Hey! Hope you don't mind me hopping on!
I had a mmc end of July (9 weeks) sac stopped growing before 4 weeks
I haven't yet had a period since and have no idea when I ovulated but BD 2 weeks after I stopped bleeding which was august 16th
I've been quite nauseous the past few days, extremely tired and had some niggling little cramps, loose BM and last night I had a slight bit of pinky CM but no more since
tested today but Bfn still currently having some pains in my left side and also back ache not sure if that's anything to do with work though
Hope we all get our bfp!

Xx

@Littlemissc93 I am sending you lots of positivity! I had two mmcs last year over a nightmare 4 months. I was a mess both physically and emotionally. I’m 36 and only met my boyf a few years ago, previously I never thought I’d find the right person to have kids with. Today AF is 6 days late and I’m feeling nervous and hopeful and scared that I’ll go through the same thing again. I’ve had weird pulling/cramping pains every so often feels like AF a bit. I’ve decided I will cope with disappointment better if I get AF rather than seeing a BFN so I’m going to wait it out for longer. It’s like torture!

@Chanel05 sorry you have been through a mmc too, it’s so heartbreaking but it helps hearing others have conceived too. My partner has been amazing, I just hope this is our month. I’m refusing to test until I’m late so I can save myself some disappointment.

So sorry for your loss. I had a mmc in 2019 and it was heartbreaking. Good luck in your journey Thanks I conceived my daughter 8 months after my mmc and she was worth the pain and heartache.

Thank you for replying. Congratulations on your bfp! You must be thrilled! That’s what my midwife told me last time, I think I’m so anxious from my mmc.
We’re away at the mo so if af doesn’t make an appearance I’ll test Friday/Saturday x

Hey, I've just had my bfp this morning at 12dpo and I can honestly say that the cramping feeling felt just like af cramps and still does now. I'm not going to worry myself with it as everything I've read says it's normal.

But to answer your question, you absolutely can have cramps before you get your bfp. I tested just yesterday and got a bfn so even a day makes a difference Smile
