PMT feeling before BFP?

Post by nicolamark »

I am on day 13 of 2ww, and 2day, i am feeling very much like AF is coming, i have tummy cramps ( on & off, not constant) but i am feeling very very arghhhhhhhhhh!!!! :twisted: do u know what i mean, full of PMT symtons, keep biting Dh's head off, and i cried several times today, i just feel very hormonal......
I now have compulsive knicker checking disorder, however every time i leave the bathroom, i feel happy, as there is no blood, not even a smudging.... so keep thinking thats a good sign huh???

Dh keeps saying dont think about it, which is easier said than done, i am feeling the pmt and tummy cramps, so how can i forget it......?

I am still feeling hopful (abit) that these r good signs, but i am also scared in case AF is coming.....

So my Question is:

(for those who have gotten BFP's.....)

Did u get the PMT hormonal feeling with the AF cramps? Please put my mind at rest...... I am going insane, i hate this!!!
Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!
Thanks girls, xx

Ps: jen, kate or lisa if you read this pls txt me... xx

Hey Nicola...I am also in the 2WW. I, too, feel like AF is on her nasty way :x I have beta Wednesay, 9/5 and guess what I did to myself this morning???? Took a HPT -- negative :( but I guess it could be too early. I am going to keep up the PMA b/c I have been checking like you and nothing is there...yeah! :) I am only 7dp5dt so that is why I think it could be too soon for HPT to pick up HCG levels. Take it easy as I've read these feelings are normal of the implantation process. Maybe we just some embies taking their time getting comfy :P

Good luck and hopefully, we will get our BFPs on Wednesday! :P

Talk to you soon!

Nicki,

Good luck with the test this week. I remember having the same cramping as you and it continued up to 3 months too.

Sending baby dust your way.

Hi Nicki
I had PMT feelings and cramping before my BFP. I was absolutely convinced AF was on her way. I would have bet my house on it!!

Hang in there, lots of luck

Hi Nikki

PMA PMA PMA PMA!!!!!!!!

I had AF cramps for what seemed most of the time during my 2WW (and a month or two after BFP) and on day 11 and 12 I was so hormonal, like PMT, and couldn't stop crying. I had such bad tummy ache and pains down my legs like AF and was an emotional wreck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Convinced it was over and look at me now!! All the signs you don't want are generally good signs.

Take it easy girl - not long now xxxxx

hi nikki

there is still hope. i had brown smudges and spotting on day 13(yesterday). this morning i did a hpt, it was nagative. went in for beta anyway. and guess what positive. hpt's are evil, leave them alone. i was also crampy last night, with backache. all the symptons. i was convinced af was on her way.

ladies please dont lose hope until your beta. holding thumbs for you nikki.

jill, holding thumbs for u too.
