You should take a test!  I had cramps too before I found out 3 weeks ago that I am pregnant!  I also thought I was getting my period.  That is definitely a sign!  It is better to find out now so you can have your hcg levels checked to make sure levels are going up!  Good luck!

I'm making a doctors appt. After i get back from wisconsin. On Tuesday with the holiday and all. Because not only the missed period is worrying me . It's the pain by my ovaries its been getting so bad. That when i get it i have to stand still for 10 mins to let it pass. And it happens a good 4 times a day.Very scary. specially since my mother has had so many problems in her past. And when it comes down to me and my mother were identical in the medical field.

Hey there i had an eptopic removed through surgery Aug 22 and the pain in my side was so excruciating that nothing would make it go away and found out that the pain can come and go which had been happening for a couple of days before so please dont wait if the pain is bad eptopic pregs that rupture can cause serious damage even death. I dont want to scare you but i want you to be ok. Good luck.

Don't be afraid to take a pregnancy test this time.  I had cramps like crazy and sore breasts when I thought I was going to have my period, but never came, so after 2 weeks or so I took HPT and it's a BFP!  And follow the advice of friends here because it could be an ectopic pregnancy, I hope it's not... you just never know.

I have been having the same cramping and I am almost a week late but sometimes it goes into my legs. Has anyone ever had this happen? I also have a very high cervix, it wont drop, and I have lots of cervical mucus.

Try using another brand.  That's what I did with mine, and both came out positive.

Hi Ladies. I have been trying for the longest to get pregnant and the stories I am reading sound so familiar. I am late on my period and I have these bad cramp pains down in my lower abdominal area as if I am going to start my period and nothing. Its been going on for a couple weeks and still no period. I also have my breast hurting and sensitive to touch. But yet I am scared to take a test to see if I am pregnant and then it shows im not. Happened to me before but these symptoms are new to me so I don't know. What do you ladies think?

Ok the breast hurting sounds like you may be pregnant...but the best thing to do is go for a blood test ... you should not be scared be sure becuz seems like you are having symptoms which you never had before so you may be preg this time... Good Luck!!!

Ok....heres the things...ive been searching the internet trying to find answers...i am very regular with my periods... every 28-30 days and it lasts for about 6-7 days.... My husband and I do not use any form of birth control, just the withdrawal method. We have become professional with this way :) However I am about 4 days late but im experiencing all the sings of PMS. My nipples and breasts were really tender, food cravings, and sore a few days ago but now im experiencing bad cramps in my lower back and of coarse my lower stomach...also! finals for school are coming up so i dont know if its because im stressing over finals or if im really pregnant??? what do u guys think> thanks

I took a test n got a negative not sure if its stress or Iam really pregnant. I don't really feel stressed out. Is it to soon to tell? How long should I wait to go to the doctor?

I just lost my baby at 6 weeks on Christmas Eve, I am very sad. I was so excited I gave my mother a box full of baby things that said I love Grandma earlier this week. It happened so fast. I woke up on Christmas Eve and there was pink mucus, so I just thought the baby was settling. I continued on my day to go shopping for last minute things. Later feeling little cramping, I decided to go home and rest. I knew something wasn't right, I no longer had Breast tenderness. I stopped by a restaurant to get a sandwhich, and had to use the bathroom. There I wiped and there was Brown Blood. Once I got home I laid down and began to have sharp cramping. I wiped it was Red blood. I knew something was wrong then I passed clots. I was then rushed to ER and was told I had a miscarriage and there was no baby or heartbeat on U/S. This Christmas 2009 was a very Sad Christmas for me and my family.

God Bless, you all!!

hey ladies :) I'm the proud mother of a healthy, bouncy 5-yr-old red headed girl. When I got pregnant with her, the only sign at all was a slight ache & pinch in my upper uterus for the first 2 weeks. I got a negative on my test for almost 2 weeks AFTER I missed my period, & then the line was faint for another week. I was certainly pregnant (had a painful, awful miscarriage the prior month-could see the embrionic sack & placenta...cried so hard) but she wasn't announcing her existence very loudly. I spent the whole pregnancy with minimal breast tenderness & absolutely no stitch of nausea. I spent 48 hrs in labor but due to fentanyl, felt not one single contraction. make no mistake, my belly was as big as a house! I finally gave birth to a whopping 8.5 lb girl, healthy as a horse! I guess I'm trying to say that sometimes, pregnancy is weird & different from woman to woman. If I hadn't been watching for it, it would have been a long time before I even suspected it. sometimes there are just no signs. My mom had a full-blown period with me. She tested positive, had the heavy period, but I stuck around. She also said she had no symptoms but got obnoxiously huge.

Hi I am new to this kind of thing but I was due on, on the 17th Jan 2010 I know that was a while ago but let me explain....... the weekend after I was due on I started bleeding, I had done 4 tests altogether, 2 on the tuesday which were negative and the other 2 on thursday that were positive but faint. On the night of the 23rd of Jan 2010 I started bleeding pink stuff as I would call it, and by the sunday morning I was bleeding but it was lighter then my normal period.
I went to the doctors on tuesday the 26th jan and he said I was most likely to be misscarrying but there could have been a chance that I was just bleeding. I had a blood test done and results come back negative but I still feel as if i'm pregnant, having lots of symptoms like tiredness, feeling sick, cravings and and soreness of the boobs. Me and my husband have been trying for over a year now and i'm not sure if I should do a test or not, I dont want to be disapointed but I really need to know, has this happened to anyone else, PLEASE give me some advice as I dont know what to think
Thanks Vix xx
