Types of cramping

AF is due the 3rd (apparently) and today have been getting short waves of slight pms like cramping but around the same area I feel so bloated, like a tight balloon that is concentrated

It does feel like pms but could be wrong!
11dpo and 2 days of negative FRER's
Is AF arriving or shall I test again tomorrow morning?

Hey. I havent got much advice but I'm feeling a bit similar today . Very bloated. Dull cramping and lower backs a bit twingey. Did you test again this morn.

@dublino
Hey thanks for replying! Glad to not be alone on this boat haha

No I didn't, think I will tomorrow morning so I have at least one day in between testing.. ordering some more online just in case and to have at hand for the future! Have you taken a test?

I have had lower back pains but I also sit at a desk all day haha

Feeling like i have car sickness and i am now constipated.. according to the app i should be now 12dpo

All seem like good signs. Im 10 dpo . Usually my lutrual phase is 13-14 days so I wouldnt be feeling the heaviness just yet but god knows. I've been using ic the past few days. Needless to say it was all neg though I was starring at the one this morn ages and half convincing myself that there's something starting ha ha ha. Have you been trying long ?

It’s so annoying how pms and early signs can be literally the same haha
Not really actively trying but not being careful either, we dtd potentially 4/5 days before I ovulated and I know sperm can last that long.... would love to be pregnant but af is fine too , just want to know haha yourself ?
Just ordered some ic’s for tomrorow so I stop spending money on frers each day Confused
Cramps have passed but still a strange bloating
When are you thinking of testing next ?

Around 12DPO I got cramps this month (got BFp that morning). They were more like muscle twangs - as if I'd pulled them in a sit up). Lots of PMS symptoms are the same as early pregnancy symptoms. FX AF doesn't arrive for you.

@Treat4pop defo get the cheapies. Frer cost a fortune even ordering online. Ive also had this stitch like pain on and off the past few days just below bellybutton to the left . Same spot . Comes and goes. I've been ttc nearly two years . Mc and two chemical along the way so heres hoping.

@congrats on your bfp . How far are you now

Took a frer test this morning, few mins and could swear I saw the faintest faintest second line but I could be imagining it... 13po and no af yet so will test with ic's Thursday when I'm due af... nipples feel very tingly and my cramps just feel like waves of small contraction not periody... i guess another few days of waiting and testing until a line or af !
Are these good signs?

Cramps can definitely be a good sign. Had them every time I've got a bfp. In fact, I'm gutted I haven't had any this month as it most likely means I haven't conceived! Good luck for Thurs
