AF feelings/cramps at 3 DPO???!!!

[Melody7]

Hi,

I'm 3 DPO today and am getting the "feeling" that I usually get a few days before AF arrives. I'm almost 2 weeks out from AF so it's just weird. Yesterday I had a whisper of discomfort in my lower abdomen, but today it's turned into a mild cramp across my whole lower abd (above pubic line) - and has been there for most of today.

Any thoughts??? I had a shocker of a month last cycle and don't want to get my hopes all up in the air again, however I looked back on my charts and couldn't see any cramping etc at this time in previous cycles.

Would love your thoughts on this one, lovely ladies.

Hey Melody,

The mild cramps you are feeling sound very promising! But I do know the past cycles you have had so it is understandable that you dont want to get your hopes up...

I had cramps/mild ache leading up to my BFP. I think it started around 3dpo as well. It felt like I always needed to go to the toilet and I was aching at the tops of my legs and hip area. I never got cramps before getting my period so I thought something was up with my cycle, either I was pg or my body was paying me back for all those years of not having cramps! LOL

Good luck.. I am going to be watching you too!! Nice temp rise this morning too

Hi Ngala,
My previous cramps in other cycles have centred around my RH ovary - these were a bit different. But who knows. Did you get any clumpy/thick creamy CM? I've started getting that last night and today.

Hi Melody,
I am currently 7dpo and normally get the discharge your talking about around O time but didnt this time (but know o'ed thanks to opk) but it started yesterday which I thought was unusual for me. Have also had aching in RH side since about 3dpo although started in LH side on and off yesterday. My body is starting to confuse me.
Hope you get your BFP this time!

Last cycle I had cramping 3 DPO that lasted a couple of days and thought it strange too. But didn't eventuate to anything. Had a quite heavy AF but only lasted 2 days. Every month seems different for me. I can't work me out either. I'm trying to stop reading something into everything, but it never works. There is always something that I use to convince myself that this cycle is the one. I hope it really does mean something positive for you.

Melody - I dont think I got a lot of CM.. my CM was always real minimal through my cycles but there are some days now that I get a lot and other days I dont. Good luck! Got my fingers crossed for you.

I got really mild stabbing pains just above my public bone from about 5 DPO or so. I had never had these type cramps before and a few days later I got my BFP!

i got heaps of cm not clumpy more creamy and heaps of it... Also i peed heaps and was really thirsty...

I'm having cramps too, it's about 4 DPO. I usually have no af symptoms (luckily) so when I do get cramps I definitely notice them. This is only our second month TTC and we have a lovely 2 yearold son, I'm hoping we'll be be ok conceiving, but the wait is a killer.

Anyone else with a bfp get cramps in the days after they o'd?

[Melody7]

Well it seems that I'll just have to wait and see what happens. All these things could, or could not meant pregnancy. Don't you just love the TWW!? Here's hoping girls!

For the past 3 cycles now, I've had mild cramps, low backache, nausea and tiredness from cd20 (2dpo) until cd2-3. I haven't gotten a BFP, it's just the way my hormones are from now I guess. I've been asked to see a obgyn for a lap to see whether I have endometriosis.

Hi Melody, This last cycle I actually felt fewer "symptoms" than I had with all the others, because i had a virus that drowned out all the other physical sensations I usually get during the TWW - so everyone's different. The one thing that I did notice (and the reason I tested early) was because this time, my body felt, well... SMUG. Hard to explain but I just thought I'd share becos everyone's different and here's hoping you've spotted early days of a PG!
and hope to see you in the BB threads soon!!

[Melody7]

Well, I'm now 7 DPO and the cramps haven't stopped. I've also started getting a sore lower back as well.The creamy CM has reduced to a normal amount.

Not sure what's going on...
