Reassurance needed

[Foxlovesfruit]

So i got a pink line a few days ago then the next day a tiny pale pink streak on tissue when i wiped. I assume this was implantation bleed. Anyway. I am due on my period in 4 days but for the last 7 days i have experienced shooting pain and tingling in my boobs and also period-like cramps. The period-like cramps worry me as it feels like my period is coming. Does or did anyone else get these? I know they are common early pregnancy symptoms but i can't help but worry and could do with reassurance. I have had several MCs and so anxious x

This stage is so tough as the early pregnancy signs are almost exactly the same as the PMS signs. It's totally normal to get these pains in early pregnancy - I'm 8 weeks and get quite a lot of them

The conception board on here is great for lots of people in a similar boat and I found it helpful to hear similar experiences! Best of luck, will keep my fingers crossed for you x

With my first pregnancy I had the worst period like cramps, it was so bad that I remembered moaning to my dh how lucky he was to be a man and not have to deal with this monthly. The pains then disappeared when I was 2 days late and that’s when I got a positive test.

I would hold off testing for a few days and wait till your period is officially due!

Hey OP, I definitely had that period cramping in early pregnancy. I remember feeling so worried because it felt exactly like my period was coming. All was fine thank goodness. I think it's really common, but doesn't take away from the fact that it's worrying. Thinking of you x

@Harriet1989 @Lostworlds @remaininghopeful23 thank you!! I feel so much better now. I have read these cramps are normal in early pregnancy and when i think logically and calmly i realise this.......but then panic sets in because of my history. Thanks again x

Yes this pregnancy I had period like cramps from 10dpo until about 6/7 weeks of pregnancy, on and off. I never had cramps with my last pregnancy with my son so I was nervous. I’m now 23 weeks and the cramps did eventually stop.

@Blue2020 thank you x
