Cramping

I've been experiencing mild cramps this morning and some yesterday morning too. Surely if there was a chance of me being pregnant I wouldn't get these symptoms yet?

AF isn't due till 16th which is when I was going to test.

I had cramping EXACTLY as if AF was on way, I am 31 weeks pregnant. It's definitely a symptom of early pregnancy too and it is so frustrating that it's similar to AF! So I wouldn't rule out being pregnant!!! 🤞🤞🤞

@allthingssparkly I have the exact same symptoms and for a bfp on a frer yesterday. My last af started on 16th dec so due af around 16 jan. fingers crossed for you!

Oh did you, ahh I'm so on edge now it's all a waiting game. I never normally get cramping this early before AF is due if you get me?

I have ordered some first response test they're coming today so at least I'll have them to hand for when I test next weekend.

@Tealchoc oh wow, so you got a positive test result yesterday? My tests are coming today from Amazon.

I don't know whether I should test earlier than when AF is due? I have ordered the FRER ones.

Yes I was a bit shocked but I couldn’t wait! The cramping was unusual for me too. It is very early though so I am now nervously awaiting the next few days, probably would have been better to wait a bit for my state of mind ha ha! If you can hold off it would be more accurate to wait until af due when hormones may be stronger, I think I must have ovulated fairly early to get a line. Keep us posted! x

Aw, well Congratulations such wonderful news! I hope everything goes well moving forward :) I'll definitely keep posted on here once I've tested. Did you use FMU to test? X

Thank you @allthingssparkly! It was actually later in the morning I tested but I think it must have been held in for a few hours. Good luck!

@Tealchoc ahhh, this is tempting me to test sooner than when AF is due.

Thanks so much, I'll keep updated when I've tested.

The cramps and discomfort round my lower back feels so strange today. Not like anything I would get any other month or when AF would be due 😳 x
