How early did you get twinges/cramps?

Hi,
Just wondering how early others noticed twinges/cramping in their pelvis/lower abdomen during early pregnancy? Is it possible to feel some slight cramping in the first 2 weeks after conception? It kinda feels like ovulation twinges, even like slight period pain.

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.

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

I thought AF was coming and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the :bfp:. 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!

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

hey there buzzie mum! thank you soo much for your info.. i did a test yesterday morning.. still a BFN but still no AF. im not too worried considering this was the first month we actually tried. but still in the back of my mind.. trying to concerntrate on eating well and excersising and i just know that if its not tis month i have plenty of other months to try!

my urine is still yellow.. still get cramps.. still no AF.. and get feelings of nausia sometimes but not sure if thats normal.. but as u said it could be any thing coz our bodies are soo different!

congradulations on your 7 weeks your almost 8 by the looks of it! how exciting.. and Jovi is such a nice name!!!

are you workinga tht moment? or are you a stay at home mum?

yeh about 3-4 weeks preg i got my first twinges really. I was so sure AF was coming because they were pretty bad. Then i got more pain at 8 weeks.. now im just aching all over :(

Amsta - yeah I work full time plus do uni AND tafe ... with a 2 year and hubby ... all fun and games! Hubby is a SAHD though so it makes it easier. Looking forward to xmas ... 4 weeks off!! Woop Woop .. lol

hey there bizzie,

wow you do have alot on your plate.. i work in real estate and am currently completing my licence in real estate. hubby is a panel beater although we are looking at maybe re locating to follow the money!
you are very lucky woman to have such a supportive hubby.. my hubby would love to be a SAHD!
i bet you are very excited for your second little miracle! sooo jealious hehehehe.. had pains all today like im gonna get my AF but nothing yet.. still havent got a BFP.. ive given up testing coz im soo sure in my head that im not...

I was having twinges (similar to AF cramping but not as bad) at about 8DPO, m/s kicked in at 13dpo. I really just thought it was AF making an appearance early until the m/s started.

megan, i think i must be following you nicely! i got ms queasies before 14DPO too!

I had cramps and pains right from when my AF was due. I really thought it was just AF pains and only did the test to rule it out totally! Was totally stunned to see a BFP!!! I got a lot of pains up until about 13 weeks.

Hi all,
Thanks heaps for sharing your experiences with me. I took a HPT on Tues morn and had a very thin faint line, I went and got a BT done at the hospital. And I'm havin a baby!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

congratulations Clare - fantastic news hun!

Thanks hun,
I'm so very happy! Trying hard not to over-think things tho, esp coz the last time was a scary experience. Positive thoughts and sticky vibes....Positive thoughts and sticky vibes....
CB xo

all you can do at this point is look after yourself, try not to stress, and embrace the positivity - everything else is up to the bubble!!

don't wish morning sickness on yourself though - i did that, and feel REALLY ordinary! :lol:

Oh you poor thing, I don't envy u at all! Last time I had heartburn from 6 weeks and felt a little queasy all day every day, but never actually threw up. I wonder if it'll be any diff this time? Hope ur not feelin too crook xo

just REALLY nauseous 24/7! it's a good sign that the Gremlin is growing nicely - but i've been forced to have serious heart to hearts with my tum about what are appropriate signs and what are just over the top! i think i'm pretty much guaranteed a red head and the way things are going, it's a more stubborn red head than mummy!

I felt a sudden, sharp pain at about 9DPO. I have MS today, the day after AF was due, but I do only have a 12 day LP, so technically I am only 13DPO.

Congratulations Clare!! :D

Hi Clarebear,

One of the joys of pregnancy, twinges are pretty normal, I'm 5 weeks and getting them and we're up to baby number 6...

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

i'm about 5-6 weeks and i've been getting period like cramps for about three weeks, and they got really bad last night. Doc said bub is fine, and the cramps are nothing to worry about as their completely normal.
i haven't had any leg or groin pain yet...

I thought AF was coming so I started getting twinges and aches from about 2 weeks after conception but then tested and two lines came up ! Congrats on your great news hun ! :dance:
