    Cramping but no AF

    Hi

    I'm new to posting so please bare with me......been trying now for 6 month with number 2.....we have a 2 year old already. Each month i am sure i'm pregnant but AF always comes which is heartbraking. i am normaly regular but last month came early at the 23rd day.....i am now past 14 DPO i think....have cramping like time of the month crampings for the last 2 days but no AF.....normally i get cramps and then AF soon after....I am really emotional crying a lot (which is really unlike me) keep thinking i am pregnant then the cramps get worst which makes me think am not.

    Trying to put off testing till the weekend.....don't know what to think!!!!

    Is this normal??

    Also my boobs have been really sore for about a week.

    HI! I just had a bfp at 10dpo using FRER, it was a very very faint line but definitely there. I also had cramps that felt like AF was on her way, it may possibly be implantation cramping. I actually felt cramps from around 6 dpo, felt very premenstrual and it continued for about a week, I also had very light implantation spotting. I think you feel these things more in subsequent pregnancies more than with your first, well I have at any rate! It all sounds very promising, wishing you all the best and hope you see a positive test soon! It's so frustrating that early pregnancy signs are also pretty much the same as premenstrual signs!! Just to drive us crazy I'm sure!

    Hi.
    Cramping can be a early pg sign, as can sore BBs and moodiness. Unfortunately they are also AF signs!! Can be sooooo hard to work out the difference. Did you have any strong early signs with your first? We put so much pressure on ourselves when TTC *big hugs* You don't say what CD you are, but i would hold off if you can till the weekend to test, just to avoid heartbreaking false negs, but if you are driving yourself mad, make sure you get a sensitive test. Best of luck

    Woohoo Congrats on your BFP
    I was going to say that every time I've been preg I've had the cramps and been so sure I wasn't preg & that AF was coming.
