How long does cramping last

I am currently almost 7 weeks pregnant and I'm still having quite a bit of cramping each day. It's very worrisome to me. I am still running to the bathroom to see if AF has arrived. I never had cramping with my son so this is new to me.  When i mentioned the cramping to my dr last week he said it's usually norhing to worry about but it could be a sign of low progesterone.  How long will this cramping last?

I had cramping for atleast 10 - 12 weeks.  It's normal your uterus is preparing for a growing fetus.

How constant were your cramps? The past 2 days I feel like I have been cramping a lot. Not sure if I should call my dr or what.

I had on and off cramping for about the first 12-13 wks and I was on progesterone supplements! Like you I was very worried but everything turned out great!

Why don't you ask your OB to check your progesterone?

Congrats on your pregnancy!
