cramping - help

[kim14]

Hello

I have had mild af cramps my entire 2 ww wait. My clinic tests later than most -18 days past er. So my beta is tommorow but all my hpts are bfps. This am my af cramps were much stronger not excruciating though but definitely there. I took some tylenol. Reminded me of af cramps before I was on birth control! I am scared that these are not normal. Any thoughts?

Hi, there. I know it is scary, but I had a lot of cramping early on in my pregnancy. It freaked me out, too...but as you can see...it all worked out for me. Try not to worry. The doctor told me back then that it was probably implantation cramping. It was hard for it not to worry me back then, but just try to relax and think positive thoughts! I wish you the best! I probably took close to 10 HPT's when I was in your shoes. Good luck!!!

Hi Tina,

I had cramps beginning the day following my ET. Like a lot of other ladies that had the same before finding out they were pregnant, I think it's a good sign of pregnancy. Implantation possibly.

Good luck!

I totally had cramps, too. The day before I took my hpt I was in tears b/c it felt just like when AF would come. But, we are pregnant! Good luck to you! I don't think cramps are a bad sign at all.

During my 2ww I had really had cramps and pain. It turned out that it was the hcg causing me to hurt. I was overstimulated and the hcg made it worse. It took several weeks for my ovaries to return to normal and during that entire time I freaked because it felt to me like menstrual pain but it was just the opposite....the pregnancy was causing me to hurt. I know this is easier said than done but just relax and enjoy your bfp.
