Slight cramping TTC

[Amanda999]

Did anyone experience slight cramping on the bottom of your stomach at the start of their pregnancy or got a lot of creamy discharge?

I experienced slight cramping on thursday and i got it mostly when i got up off the sofa. I'm 5 days late for my AF today, and i've never experienced this before AF and didn't in my last pregnancy either. I've been TTC baby #2 for 13 months and hope i am this month.  

Would it be too soon to take a pregnancy test?

Good luck, keep us updated! I'm curious to know what's going on and why you get - results but still no AF either. Hopefully it's still too early to test though.

Took a test 2day came back - so im going to wait till the end of the month and see if my period comes if not will take another test or go and see doctor.

Yea but i hope there was. My friend had an easy pregnancy apart from back pains (towards the end) and ended up having a c-section, i wish my pregnancy was and could be like that lol.

I haven't had any other symptoms and i didn't have any until i was 8 weeks with my son, it could be the same if i'm pregnant right? What does SSBD mean?

[Jenni1187]

That's exactly what happened to me. I kept getting menstrual cramps like AF was going to start any minute. This went on for about three or four days before it finally clicked that I might be pregnant. I had other symptoms at the time as well (sore bbs especially) and sure enough I was definitely pregnant. So that sounds like a good sign to me and I definitely think a HPT will show if you're 5 days late. SSBD!!

Omg you need to go test!!!! This is how I was with my youngest. I just KNEW I was going to start af, I just said that in one of my other posts, but I never did. I was SO crampy, I was absolutely sure she was coming, so I didn't test until like 19 dpo, I was like a week late. It showed up before I could even get to the sink to wash my hands. Go test and update us!!!! Good luck!!!!

Oh and I tested first day of when AF should start with a digital test, none of the strips really showed up very well for me.  I used e.p.t.

[Cycl3Chick]

When AF was supposed to start for me, it really felt like I was about to start.  I got a little crampy with all the pms symptoms and even spotted for a week or so.  It was so much that I really didn't think I was preggers till I took a test :D

Never know until you test!

[Amanda999]

Thanks i know how it feels lol

Well in that case if you are 5 days late, then YES a preg test should def show something up. I was 2 days before expected period and had a positive. I took a digital test (well 2) and two with lines....all were positive immediately... Best of luck to you and thanks for the insight on the abbreviations (im new to this)

[Amanda999]

It means Aunt flow (period). I didn't know what it meant at first i kept on asking people because i kept on forgetting lol.

Well I have been having slight cramping since my period was expected and i am now a little over 6 weeks pregnant and have also experienced some discharge....my lower abdomen hurts when standing from a laying position, almost like a muscle pain...not sure if this is normal however i am pregnant. This may sound crazy but what is AF?
