PREGGO or TTC women: QUESTION: CD 20 (8dpo), HPT is BFN but I'm cramping even tho AF isn't expected for 10 more days! Is this normal?

[martikadragoon]

Today I'm CD 20,

I'm pretty sure I O'd CD 12. So I'd be around 8DPO today. We BD'd at the right time and for a few days before and after also. But I haven't gotten a positive test yet.

Tonight I'm cramping pretty bad REALLY low. Even if it were AF I don't usually cramp like this.

Did you have cramps when Implantation occured?  

And if so.... were they pretty bad?

I'm super uncomfortable and this happened out of nowhere... all of a sudden! OUCH.


Any other symptoms right around when you got your BFP or slightly before?

My symptoms now:
Exhaustion! (I fell asleep today!!)
Cramping
Tender BB's (but not really sore yet)
creamy CM that's pretty scant now
High Cx.

THANKS! And plz send me babydust

Smjmekg~ AF is Aunt Flow...
Sweetangel~ Thanks for the info, Actually I don't know what my luteal phase is because AF was over a week late last month. That's why I think I ovulated early this time. So I might only have a few days left... Idk.

Amy~ Thanks, the cramping lasted 30 min. or so and died to a  dull ache. I'm still uncomfortable, but I do feel like maybe this is it.

When I was preggo with TJ I knew something was up before I tested, but I didn't really think that was it. This time I just have that feeling... so I'm hoping it's right!

I have two FRER's (first response early response) that I'm holding onto to take later in about 4 days or so.

I had what I consider to be the worst cramping from implantation EVER!!  It was awful...my entire body was completely exhausted, I had cramps, I was miserable!  It lasted about two days.  I expected AF any second because of how awful I felt.  AF didn't arrive...but I didn't get a positive HPT until 3-4 days later.  Good luck!

I had the cramping at 4dpo and it was 'different' cramping than I'd ever had...It was low and on one side...I remember just 'knowing' this was it!  I tested positive at 10dpo but my luteal phase was always 14 days...it seems like you have a longer luteal phase if you are 8dpo and still have 10 more days till af is expected...so yeah, too early to test, but sounds promising.

Ok, I'm sure you're talking about your period, but what is this AF acronym? By the way...if you are pregnant, it may be too early to tell. Try taking a test again in a week. It was four days before my missed period that I got the lightest, line...I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but the next day same thing. It was because my hormone levels were too low for a bright BFP. I'm trying to get pregnant again, so send me some baby dust too please!!! LOTS AND LOTS OF Baby Dust to you!!! Good luck!
