cramping

Hello all. I know I have been posting like crazy on here lately! But my question is about cramping this time. I have had three postive pregnancy tests but haven't missed my period yet. Actually, I don't really know when to expect it, as I had a m/c on 11/16. I ovulated on 11/28 and also at that time had 0 hCG level. My doctor checked to make sure. Anyhow, already pregnant again but have felt mild cramps off and on for a day or two. Not sure when I will officially have missed a period, because I haven't had one since the m/c. Are there people out there who had cramping and went on to have a successful pregnancy??

Congrats! I also had a lot of cramping for the first month and a half of my pregnancy.  My doctor told me it was from my uterus growing larger at a rapid rate. Good luck and remember to stay calm!

Just wanted to say congrats!  I got pregnant after my m/c but did have an af in between.  I also got symptoms way early with this one and tested a very dark positive pretty early on in the pregnancy too.  Maybe it's just because your body just went through this?  I don't know but I knew about a week after I conceived, I was tired, bloated and had terrible heartburn.  Good luck, I hope you have a appy and healthy 9 months with this one.  It's hard not to worry especially after what you just went through, I didn't relax till well into my second trimester, but all is well with baby and I'm getting close the the third trimester already.  Try to relax a little and enjoy!

Thank you all. It eases my mind to know I'm not experiencing something abnormal. Yes, I am only about 13 DPO. I know it's so early, but the funny thing is that I am testing positive on all pregnancy tests. I got several different kinds to make sure (: Even the ones that say you have to miss your period. It's strange. I must have a higher hCG level than I had first time around, which I would think is good. It is so hard to be happy right now though, being I recent went through a loss. I am just praying this works. Thanks for commenting back!

I know that the cramps are normal, but since you just had a M/C I am sure every twinge makes you worry (even though you know it may be normal, it doesn't matter!).  Have you been to the Dr yet?  If you ovulated on the 28th that would make you about 13 DPO I would guess.  I hope everything works out well for you!!

Same here! I agree with the girls..Im currently 6.4 pg and also experienced mild cramping the first days I found out and still get these pulling and needle like sensations!..it's normal, unless there is painful cramping and bleeding you should be ok! Get a doctor's appointment asap. Congrats and Good luck!

I agree. I experienced minor cramping before I missed af and it continued until 5-6 weeks. I still get it every once in a while (I am 7.5 weeks now), but not as regularly. Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Minor cramping is normal - I am 6 weeks and I have what feels like a pulling sensation & AF cramps.  It's normal.  Unless you are experiencing bleeding I wouldn't worry about it.  Good Luck & congratulations!
