BFP cramps like AF, is this normal?

[Carysmatic]

Hey so I had a chemical pregnancy last month only two days after my BFP. I used FRER and tested when I was two days late for AF, the tests were really faint. I have just tested today for this cycle, again two days late for AF and got a really obvious BFP this time. Test line is nearly as dark as control line, not even a squinter. I'm obviously excited but also really cautious because of my CP last month. The main thing worrying me is I'm having a few cramps, similar to AF, every time I get the cramps I also get w wave of nausea, is this anything to be worried about. I had cramps last month too but obviously that ended in a chemical so I'm a little worried. Any comments would be helpful, thanks. Have attached the faint tests from last month two days late for AF and today's test again two days late for AF, you can really see a difference in them, which is why I'm hoping this one sticks!!!

Any advice? I'm so worried it could mean I'll have a chemical again. Is cramping normal? Need my mind set at ease

It can be completely normal yes. I had terrible cramps with my first pregnancy (which went full term). With some others that didn’t stick I had none, so you really can’t read anything into it.

I wish I could help. Iv been doing alot of reading about it as I'm currently cramping quite bad. Yet to get bfp but will be testing later when husband gets in from work with more tests (didn't realise I'd ran out this morning) anyway, from what iv read alot of women have cramps for the first trimester. I know I did with my second son as the doc thought he was ectopic because of the pain so I was sent for an early scan. Congratulations on your bfp I have my fingers crossed for a sti ky baby for you x

@Polly99 thanks, that puts my mind at ease a little, it's just that I had cramping last month which turned out to be s chemical. I guess only time will tell.

@Amylou91 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
