How early did you get twinges/cramps?

[briggsy's girl]

i was getting niggles from about 8dpo, tested at 10 or 11 dpo simply cos i felt different

I felt them from when AF was due, so I guess 2 weeks after conception.

[Possums]

I felt them about 8DPO....also felt like ovulation pain on one side...pulling sensation..
other times it would be on both sides...

[Maruschke]

I thought AF was coming and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the . I had AF type twinges til 7 weeks.

For me the twinges felt exactly like AF!

hey there im not sure if any one can offer any light on what im going through.. i have tried talking to my husband but unfortunetly like most he doesnt understand how the female body works.

i re looked at my dates last night.. the first day of my AF was 3/9/08.. assuming i ovulated on 17/9/08 we BD from the 9/09/08-19/09/08....
i am now due for my AF as at the 30/09/08 which was two days ago.. i have nothing! since being off the pill my periods seem to be long between one another... but i have done 4 tests over the past few days and have nothing..
but i have been extremely tired.. had little pulls in my bellie.. my face has been breaking out.. ive been emotional and all i thought was maybe im getting my AF.
is it normal to get a negative result.. or is it just taht i am not UTD??
i am sooo confused.. and on monday i had CM that was clear and looked like egg white so i have no idea what my body is doing.. maybe i only just ovulated on monday!
please shed some light.. we are going away for the weekend this weekend and want to make sure i can have a few drinks.. and thort i shudnt go to the dr with something soo silly!

Hi, How did you go? Sometimes it can take a while for the hormone levels to show on the tests

[ClareBear28]

Thanks for sharing your experiences girls, guess I'll just have to wait n c what my body's doin....

I was feeling them from about 9 DPO (or so) and tested next day to see a positive test result. I continued to get cramps and twinges till about 6 weeks pregnant.

Amsta ... when I was pregnant with Jovi I had HEAPS of pregancy symptoms when AF was supposed to be due but tested and tested and negative so I thought something else must have been wrong ... Jovi didn't show up on a preg test until I was 6 weeks whereas this new bub showed a faint second line at 4 weeks.

I know it's hard, but I would try to put it out of your mind as much as you can and just wait a few days/a week and test again. Failing that you could always ask your doctor for a blood test.

Your CM sounds like what mine was and I thought the same thing about O?ng ... turns out I was just pregnant ... body's can be a weird thing ...

Going by your dates you would be 5 weeks tomorrow ... so you could just be like me and the hormones sometimes take a bit to register ... hope you get a BFP soon
