Cramps

Hi all,
I need an advice please.
I had my smile on the ovulation stick from clearblue Monday the 5th and dtd on Saturday the 3th and that Monday.. Since like Wednesday I have had "typical period" cramps and I still have them. Not all the time, but they come and go... My period always comes on time and went back after stopping the pill to be just as regular as before. I have, I think, a 31 day cycles and my Af/BFP is due the 17/18th. Any good advice why I have these cramps? Please advice :) thanks

Willows, thinking about using one of the cheapies Thursday morning and then if af does not show then Saturday morning too
If no result, then I'll wait for next Friday after my friend has left again :)

Italian - it's the big one at Olympia. We're meant to be going Friday afternoon them staying over night in London and off to see The Book of Mormon. That will be the proper end of honeymoon (after wedding in Dec Grin). So, it really wouldn't be the end of the world if AF shows up in the next few days. Worse case scenario would be no AF and no positive as would leave me in limbo. Hopefully I'll know one way or the other tomorrow morning.

Englishteacher - I do see the benefit of af in this case ... I hope for you that you either gets a positive before Friday or your af so you can fully enjoy the weekend that sounds amazing :)

Still mild cramps today. I'm thinking it may be more likely AF :(

englishteacher78 · 14/08/2013 07:02

Ij Hmm
I tested again this morning. Got a negative. Going to get some more tests today and try again on Friday if still no AF. No cramps at all now and I usually cramp right through to the end of my first period day to the extent that I spend that day drugged up! So, who knows what's going with my body right now Confused

Englishteacher, I hope you get your BFP!
I'm not sure what these cramps are all about, all this lower back pain too!
Cramps have been happening for ages but feel more life AF cramps today. Hmm

WillowsTree · 14/08/2013 20:38

I just did one of my internet cheapies...I think there may have been a line! So so faint, had dp check it and he agrees it was there! Not sure I trust it though as I didn't use fmu so will need to try again tomorrow Smile

WillowsTree · 14/08/2013 20:39

Oh I'm sorry I've just read the other posts. Italianwiking and englishteacher we can all do it again tomorrow!

Willow- your more lucky than me. Mine defn did not have any lines :/

Italian, ever since you said I should test in the sept bus I couldn't get it out my head. I actually did a few tests over this past few days and there were definitely no lines. Technically I'd be cd29 going from my breakthrough bleed, so when af didn't turn up all day I just thought I'd do it. Did you say af is due 16th? Still PLENTY time for bfp's for us. Fx for tomorrow.

englishteacher78 · 14/08/2013 21:31

I wasn't able to get hold of a test today so unless I can get DH to pick one up on his way back from night shift (a highly unlikely proposition) it looks like I've got a longer wait.

englishteacher78 · 14/08/2013 22:26

Yup. It's going to be 9am before I can get hold of a test and about 10 before I can do one. Oh well, it's results day tomorrow, so I have an excuse to be emotional.

VJONES1985 · 14/08/2013 22:32

Good luck!

panicmechanic · 14/08/2013 22:46

Just did a test negative :( I am going to try again tomorrow as my body is fooling me with too many symptoms

englishteacher78 · 15/08/2013 06:17

Started to get dull ache and feel a bit constipated (sorry if TMI) so I reckon I'll be heading to the September bus soonHmm
Annoyed that my stupid body chose the first month of TTC to be the first month of not fitting into the regular cycleConfused

WillowsTree · 15/08/2013 07:01

Just did a test, negative. Last nights must have been faultyHmm
