Cramps?

Hello everyone,
I signed up about 5 months ago when I had my m/c. I've not been here for a while but I do stop by to read people's posts and have found that you are all so kind and so helpful to each other. It's helped me alot and I want to say thank you.

My question to you ladies is, my cycle is very regular every 25-28 days, I usually ovulate between cd11-cd13 give or take a few days. I'm now on cd 17, which means I would have ovulated over the weekend. The strange thing is that since yesterday I've been feeling cramps...menstrual cramps. It seems so soon since I would be getting af til the 14th of November. Has anyone ever experienced this, it kind of already makes me give up on this cycle b/c I feel as if af is right around the corner.
Just wanted to know if any of you've experienced this or have any insight on it.

Thx.

I'm in the same boat... I ovulated over the weekend and now I feel like ****.. I have been having what feels like menstral cramps also...
All we can do is hope for the best

Hi, yes you're right. I usually don't get af cramps until about at most 10 days before af and so i usually know at least a week before that af is coming.
I think this will not be the month for me.

You can still have cramps when you're pg. Maybe you ovulated sooner than you think, which would mean that if you're pg, you could already be feeling the cramps from that. I thought I was about to start my af when I got my BFP.
Don't give up yet! :-)

clomid plays a lot of tricks, last month same thing happened to me it was my 3rd clomid cycle and i starte feeling af cramps back ache 10 days before i thought something happening inside but af showed up not even a single day late.
but dont lose hope gals.

I had terrible cramps before af was supposed to come, too. I mean, I would sometimes feel like it was already coming out and have to go check (sorry, tmi! ;-). Even after I got my BFP, I still felt crampy. I usually didn't get cramps until the day I actually started, but these cramps started at least 4 or 5 days early...and were really bad!
Worse than anything, though...was the gas! LOL I think that was the first telltale sign that I was really pg! (again, tmi!)

Anyway, it ain't over 'til AF sings! (or rather, AF makes you moan in agony! lol)

Thanks for the input, I'm not too optimistic, these are no ovulations cramps, these are full blown af cramps so I hate to throw in the towel too early but I believe af will come in about 12 days although it feels like she'll be here any minute now.

Boy I'm telling you ladies that this whole "Am I pregnant am I not pregant?" "is this a true sign or am I just making a fool out of myself b/c of wishful thinking?" stuff IS NUTS!  Or at least it's making me NUTS!  I truly feel for you ladies that have been playing this CRAZY temp taking, mucous checking, calendar watching, body awareness, legs in the air, I hope we were on time game for several months or longer.. I mean this is my first two weeks of wondering EVERYDAY and EVERY TWINGE.. If I'll get the BFP!!! (I knew that abbrev. Lol)  Aaaaaah!   This IS NOT for the weak ladies!  May God Bless each and everyone of you with the gift of pregnancy!  Many many pounds of BABY DUST to all :).     -SkyeR.
