5 weeks and very crampy

[Dumpling82]

Hi guys, hope you are all good!
I’m 5 weeks today and both yesterday and today have had on and off tugging/sharp pains which have developed today into something like my usual period pains. No sign of bleeding whatsoever, but it’s making me a little anxious
Have had 2 chemical pregnancies in the last couple of years that ended around this point, but with both of those I had a lot of deep period pain and spotting that eventually turned into a full period. I know pains are common but just looking for a little reassurance - I know there’s no guarantees but might help to know others have been/are in the same boat

I don't have a lot of experience.. I'm only on my first and 7w along. I had quite a bit of cramping 4-6w and a normal scan at 6w. It seems to have dropped off now and all the research I did said it was normal. Congrats.

Thanks bluebird3! :)

Hi @Dumpling82 I had a fair bit of cramping up until I hit 7 weeks and now it seems to have subsided 😊
I am going for an early scan tomorrow just to double check everything is ok though because I did have a bit of bleeding.
Big congratulations on your pregnancy!

I had cramping from before my bfp and for weeks. I'm 13 weeks now and all fine. I had it with my first too.

I get the odd stab / poke here and there. I've been told it's just your uterus stretching x

Thanks both for replying - sadly looks like it’s ended now as started bleeding last night. Congrats to both of you and all the best for your scan

Aww so sorry op. Look after yourself x

@dumpling82 do you have an epu?
