Not the same situation but I'm 8 weeks now and had cramps from the day before af. Does this make you 14dpo? Cramps are really normal and just means implantation is happening and as things progress and stretch, cramps come too lol. Your lines look fab :)

@Dreamer30 yes makes me equivalent 14dpo! Thank you so much for coming back to me. This is my first ever BFP so just really nervous about it all. Thank you for the reassurance and congratulations on your BFP Smile

I had the same thing - BFP but cramps and light bleeding. At 9dpo it'll likely be implantation cramps. Completely normal. I found that early pregnancy had more cramps than I thought there would be! Those are clear positives - congratulations!

@GrowBabyGrow thank you for responding. I’m technically 14dpo as have had a 5 day embryo popped back in. It’s good to know that it’s all normal!

You're welcome 😌 congratulations to you also! All these aches and pains are new to me too lol I have a daughter but she's almost 13 now so I've forgotten what pregnancy feels like. So far I've been in pain every week so that's fun! 🤣 lots of baby dust to you ✨️

Hi @Jaffa1989 I’ve been pregnant a number of times. I’ve had strong AF cramps every time! It’s the embryo bedding I and everything begins to stretch as the pregnancy develops. I found them reassuring rather than scary as associated them with a growing baby. For me, they could get quite painful.
If it’s to the level you can’t talk or there’s red blood then you need to get checked out but for the majority it’s completely normal! Happy and healthy 9 months

@Swirlyspiral thank you so much for your response. First BFP so very anxious but also very excited.

Hi, just wanted to know your current status if that is okay with you? I’m currently in the same position as yourself.
