Is cramping in early pregnancy normal?

[Stacya1]

I am almost 6W pregnant and I have been having cramping really since I found out 2 weeks ago. My nurse says this is totally normal and I have looked on-line and it says cramping in 1st trimester is totally normal. I have had no spotting, but keep reading if you have cramping to call your Doctor. I also talked to my friend today who has had 2 kids and she said she never had cramps and she sounded concerned about that. They are not bad, but are very noticeable. Thanks!

Wow! I too have PCOS and have been ttc for the past 2 years with dissapointing results. Last month I was just focus in looking for our new home so I was not thinking about pregnancy. Just last week, I felt kind of strange and started to have some symptoms. I decided to take a pregnancy test and lo behold, it came out positive. Overjoyed was not the word. I thought this day would never come.
Im still taking the Metoformine as prescribed by the doctor however, I have been getting slight cramps down there with no blood. I'm just a little worried since most articles say that women with PCOS have higher miscarriages than normal women. I'm just waiting to see my doctor next week to get the final word and to be cared for. I'm glad I read your post because I feel Im not alone in this boat :)
