Cramps and still pregnant? 🥺

[Laul89]

Hi everyone. Clutching at straws a little here but AF is due anytime between now & Saturday. I’ve have period type cramps all day but nothing has arrived yet. Not sure exactly when I ovulated but the app predicts around 4th Jan. We DTD loads with being off work for Christmas so I was hoping this would be the month 🥺

Anyway my question is.. has anyone had AF type cramps around the time it would be due and still had a BFP? I wanted to hold off testing until the weekend if possible as I had a chemical in November so promised myself I wouldn’t test early again.. until I’d missed AF.

I know it’s probably the inevitable and AF will arrive tomorrow but just keen to hear from anyone who’d had cramps, though AF was coming and was actually pregnant (if that’s even a thing!!)

Thanks 🥰

I caved and took a test because I've had the cramps on and off since Wednesday but no period ... my first ever BFP!!! ❤️

@Butterflygirl23 congratulations!

@Butterflygirl23 ah that’s amazing news!!☺️☺️

Congratulations 😊

Look forward to your update tomorrow OP. I had horrendous period type cramps with DS. You’re not out yet. 🤞

The first few weeks of pregnancy for me felt exactly as though my period was going to start. I couldn't have told you the difference at all.

Every other 'pregnancy symptom' was a mirage.

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 Xx

Hi everyone, just an update for everyone who reassured me & anyone who may come to this thread in future 🥺❤️

I’m quite anxious as it’s early days but thanks so much to you all for the advice.
& congratulations @Butterflygirl23 ✨🥰

Oh this is wonderful! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉❤️

@Laul89 omg what amazing news!! So pleased for you xxx

Congratulations! I had bad cramps for a couple of months at the start of my pregnancies. Kept expecting my period at any second. My kids are now primary school aged! Best of luck with your pregnancy.

That is very positive! Congratulations! I love a thread like this. I had period type cramps when my period was due when I was pregnant with my first baby, I think that’s pretty normal.

Congrats OP!! Lovely news 🎉

Thank you so much everyone! 🥺🥰 You’re all so kind ❤️ xx

Congratulations!! I think I’m out. This is going to be TMI Had some very very light spotting mixed with Cm from Friday-Sunday trace amounts, Sunday morning I had a big blob of Cm and then nothing so I was hoping it was implantation. Today it was more I had to wear a pants liner but only filled one.. Does anyone else thing I’m out as well??? I have been having nausea, cramps , fatigue and breast pain still.

Oh yay congratulations @Laul89 when will you be due then?
I've had sickness for over a week now I can't cope morning day and night lol

@Justbelieve25 I would say you’re not out until AF arrives in full force! When are you due?

@Butterflygirl23 oh no have you 😭 have you spoke to the GP/midwife yet? I’ll be due around the very end of September.. due date varies depending on which app I look at?!

Yeah some of my apps say definitely dates too, yeah I rang my local midwife up yesterday and they gave me a call back, you download an app and it says my first appointment with my midwife is 27th Feb so il be 9 weeks. What about you?

Many congratulations to you op. Pleased for u and good luck in the rest of ur pregnancy hope its a breeze for u 😊

and congratulations to u too @Butterflygirl23

I have had AF type cramps from a couple of days before it was due to about 6 weeks pregnant

AF is due today so if I continue to bleed or flow gets heavy I know it’s AF. It’s still light right now but time will tell. Usually AF starts the same day I start spotting and I usually have a heavy flow but I did have a chemical last month would that mess with my flow/cycle?

Congratulations OP!!! 🥰

Thank you @Ohhmydays & @positivethoughts1 🥰

@Butterflygirl23 lovely, I called my GP surgery today and the receptionist asked a few questions and said she will refer to midwife who will contact me for my first appointment for when I’m between 8-10 weeks ☺️

@Justbelieve25 a chemical could definitely mess with your cycle I believe! Sending positive thoughts! 🥰

Hey just wondering how everyone is doing? My bleeding stopped today so I only bled for 3 days and that extremely short for me so I’m going to take a test either tomorrow or Friday.

Hey @Justbelieve25 I'm doing ok thank you, my sickness has seemed to calm down I'm managing to keep food down now lol I I took a clear blue digital last night just for reassure said 2-3 weeks so it's right I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. Do you have symptoms or is it just the bleed that's made you question it? X
