Ok, so this is only indirectly related to conception.

I never used to get pmt, but recently (probably because I'm older now) it's been kicking in a bit. For the last 6 months I've had a lot more of it.

What worries me is that I get pre-af cramps from about 7 or 8 dpo, or halfway through the tww. This ALWAYS means I am out on the ttc-front.

(I've read stories on the internet of people feeling af-symptoms or cramping etc and getting a bfp, but I've been pregnant seven times now, and cramping is just NOT a preg symptom for me.)

So, if my body is cramping/revving up for af/undergoing chemical changes that make my uterus less amenable to implantation one presumes at this early stage - surely, surely that is a bad thing on the ttc front? Does that make sense?

How early do you get cramping before your period?
