I did a first response HPT yesterday morning - 3 days before period due. I'm not sure why I did it as I was convinced my period was about to come as I was having the cramps I'd normally have at that point. However it was a clear positive. I did another one in the afternoon - a clear blue digital which was also positive and said it was 1 - 2weeks (although think it would be slightly later as it's meant to be accurate in the morning and HCG levels get diluted later on). Period like cramps continued throughout day but no bleeding or spotting. Still having slight crampng but not as heavy as it would normally be just before period.
I have a 34 day cycle but I think I ovulate early in cycle as I have spotting mid month about 3 weeks before period which is earlier than calendar suggests I'd ovulate. Also I did the home ovulation tests last month around the time i was meant to ovulate according to calendar (a week later than the spotting) and it showed i didn;t ovulate.
I did another test this morning - just a cheapy and have a very faint line -this one's only meant to work from day period is due (which it's not yet) but it was very faint -had to turn lights on an squint!
sorry for essay! I guess what I'm trying to ask is is it normal to have cramping if I am pregnant? I've read a lot about chemical pregnancies and this is my biggest worry at the moment. I read somewhere that 50 - 60% of early pregnacies are lost - so does this mean that over half of peopel who do an early reponse HPT don't go on to be pregnant?
I've got a dr appointment on Tuesday but finding the waiting very difficult!
