I am scheduled to have my pregnancy blood test on Monday 10/08. I have been feeling good, just a bit tired. Yesterday, I started feeling cramping and a little discomfort. I've heard that cramping is possibly normal, but I guess I just need reassurance. I can't help but feel worried, since this is my 2nd cycle. If anyone can give some words of encouragement, I would appreciate it. Thank you all and best of luck to you too.

Its normar what you are feeling right now.. A lot of us just drive ourself crazy during the brutal 2ww.. If you are not feeling good then that is a good think...
I even bled while cramping during the 2ww, just 2 days before the test. So DH and I were sure it would be a BFN although I was tired and my breasts were sore which confused me...When testing day came I had a BFP and am now 6 weeks and the bleeding and cramping has stopped. Diffrent girls get different symptoms so dont worry!!!! and like the other girl wrote, maybe its a sign of pregnancy...so I know mine was the baby attaching which was what the doc kept telling me when I worried (he also checked my hcg level which kept increasing at a fast rate so he knew nothing to worry-this is one test). Then in my first ultrasound they also saw 2 sacs so there is even a possibility of twins which again acc to doc, is what usually causes more sypmtoms...so many signs fo many different possibilities which could be more good than bad....Hope this helps! Stay POSTIVE!
Not to worry... cramping was a GREAT sign for me. Five days AFTER my 5dt I got such severe cramping for 2 days that I thought it was all over. then the cramping subsided for a day (I did an HPT that day and it was +ive) but then the next day (the night before my Beta) I had such severe low back pain AND cramping that I got scared and that evening I started to spot pink (when I wiped). I called the RE that evening and she said it was normal... the next day my Beta at 9dp5dt was 485!!! and its twins!!!
Now I worry about their growth and development all the time... one worry turns into another worry... I have a 14 year old son too and I can assure you that the worry only changes face but NEVER goes away from your BFP on...
Think Baby, baby, baby...

Cocoa,
I was reading some posts and came across this one. Thank you for sharing your story about your experience with cramps and lower back pain.
I am in the 2ww with my beta scheduled on Monday Oct. 8th. I started out with an IVF cycle that had to be converted to an IUI, because of my poor response to the drugs. I did have 2 mature follicles, so my Re converted my cycle, gave me the HCG, and did the IUI. I was so discouraged, but in the past week, I have been having what could be really bad symptoms of an oncoming AF, or I am pregnant (it is so hard to decide what is in my head and what is real). Anyway, I have had annoying cramping, and last night severe lower back pain. I was worried, but your post made me feel better.
Thanks,
alittle grace

Thank you to all who responded, I appreciate the info and encouragement. I feel much better when I hear of other people's experiences. I am trying to stay positive for my test on monday, but this waiting can be agony. I feel so nervous and anxious, I wish it were here already. Again thanks to all and I wish each of you the best of luck and baby dust all over. Take care all of you!!!!
