Cramping very early on

Hi there

I got my BFP two days ago on 14DPO, I didn’t test early and the lines seamed strong. Iv been getting very mild intermittent cramps for about a week. Today (at work) I’m 16DPO and the cramps are a bit more noticeable and uncomfortable. Is this normal? Google says it’s probably normal but I’m terrified of another chemical as I have had two this year. Has anyone else experienced cramping early on and everything has been fine? X

@Sohe
Erghhh the implantation and days afterward were all about cramps and feeling different, sweaty and exhausted!
I'm now coming up to 30 weeks and I spent the first trimester from implantation stage with cramps.
Cramps aren't nice, but for me, it was a positive symptom xx

As @cat709 says. They are par for the course at this point.

Good luck and congrats!!

I had loads of cramps in weeks 5-8 and it didnt indicate anything wrong

Im 6 weeks and have mild cramping frequently! Especially after I eat a meal it seems!

I had fairly strong cramps from just before I tested positive (under 4 weeks) until about now when I am 8 weeks. They have eased a bit now but they were quite uncomfortable up until the last few weeks. It felt like I was ways just about to start my period.
It really freaked me out because I had no idea that was a pregnancy symptom and it didn’t feel like it should be normal but everything I read said it is common!

Following as I also have real bad cramps for the last 11 days. 5 weeks today and Dr won't see me until I'm 6 weeks so really panicking something is wrong. These comments are positive xxx

@shepherdess93
If it helps, at 5-6 weeks the round ligament pain & cramp was so bad, I'd pace the room in so much pain. But it did settle eventually, or at least not be so intense but 7th week x

Thanks everyone. Iv noticed that the cramps seem to be a lot worse in the mornings. Around 05.30. Then settle as the day goes on and come back in the late evening usually just before bed. I’m hoping everything is ok x

I had really bad cramps with both my pregnancy's (who are now 4 and 2). It was how I knew I was pregnant the second time. In the first pregnancy it was so bad I nearly blacked out, but obviously everything was absolutely fine.

Exactly the same here! Toilet troubles and cramping after meals
