Cramps in very early pregnancy

[LaMadrilena]

Hi everyone

I've just this morning had a positive pregnancy test (albeit a pretty faint line, I reckon I'm v early on). For the past few days, coinciding with when my period would usually start, I've had mild period-like cramps. I've read in lots of places that some cramping is normal around implantation, but I'm I feel like I'm going to start my period any minute. The pain really isn't that bad (I've had far, far worse menstrual pain than this), just a dull ache and the odd twinge, and it comes and goes.

I'm sure there are similar threads, but I wonder if someone could give me a bit of reassurance or share their experience.

Thanks!

I'm exactly the same! BFP today and been cramping on and off for a few days including this morning!

Hey! I had cramps everyday for the first 6 weeks of my pregnancy x

Thanks for the comments! I've just confirmed this mornings very faint line with a Clearblue week calculator, and it's confirmed 1-2 weeks, so all good so far...

Congratulations. Yes I have had the same, I’m 6 weeks today and they’re lessening now.

I just had a positive test yesterday after being over 2 weeks late and I'm experiencing exactly the same thing. Really re-assuring to see others say the same thing so thought I'll chime in and say me too. Congratulations!

Yep same! I got my BFP on Monday and am 4w4d apparently. I’ve had light cramping and twinges since then and also a lot of bloating. Hoping it all normal

I had lots of cramps early on, all is well at 27 weeks! Congratulations

I've had cramps regularly (mostly around week 6) and I'm still having some at 8+3. Had a scan last week due to some spotting and two previous early miscarriages and all was perfect! I had no cramps first two times so I'm actually thinking cramps are the norm!

Thanks everyone for all the reassurance! And congratulations to everyone just getting their BFPs!

I forgot to mention the bloating, it's a nightmare. I get bloated when I'm really hungry, and I'm really REALLY hungry!

I'm 11 +6 and had cramp throughout and its normal stretching pain

Yep I had some cramping too, and some full on stabby pains in my ovary too (turns out it’s a cyst that secretes hormones to help with implantation)

Basically Mother Nature’s cruel trick is to make everything in pregnant that’s fine feel the same as everything that’s not fine...

Cramps stopped yesterday so now I'm worried about that instead ha

Ha, I know, it's a nightmare. Mine come and go and I'm checking my knickers every half hour. They seem to ease a bit with exercise.

I hope everything is fine with your pregnancies ladies .
I am due my period end of the month but as it's our first moth of TTC , I am feeling very odd ...
Lots of cramps , and gurgling sounds and nausea in the evening ?

Surely it's a bit early to be feeling like this? Meaning it's probably just PMS ?

I did a test yesterday and it was negative but I am aware it's too soon to test anyway . Need to wait until atleast next week if not the week after
