bad period cramps... no Af???

[NaeNae]

Could just be a build up to AF. I tend to get very crampy before AF arrives and for the first day or two depending on the cycle ... or ...... are you TTC? sounds just like what I get before I get the bfp.

... or ...... are you TTC? sounds just like what I get before I get the bfp.

omg, it didn't even cross my mind.....

uuummmm stressing now....
shiat.... better check.....

[DaintreeDream]

Hmm not another pretty butterfly on its was is there?

I believe that you can only take panadol. Thats all I will take, advil etc are not recommended for BF. Maybe try a heatpack?

[NaeNae]

I was just stirring PB OMG could you be??

[Pretty Butterfly]

Well its certainly not impossible... we haven't been too careful but a little bit, if that makes any sense..

I know its not ovulation cramps, I get those in little pin points on my sides.. this is definatly in the middle down low..... if poas is neg (as I suspect it will be), it will be a doozy of an AF when it finally gets here.. its bad now...

[NaeNae]

wow - funny you know , thats how this one happened for us - not trying but not preventing either.

Seeing that you are BF I think panadole is the safest option, do you have a wheat bag or hot water bottle? I always find these help me or prior to AF a nice soak in a hot bath with some epsom salts - relaxes the muscles nicely not to mention give you 20 min just for you

anything is possible I suppose Nae!

[DaintreeDream]

Yeah Nurofen is fine to.

PB, it sounds like you need to get your pain killers and Nurofen ready, I had bad period pains when AF returned after having Matilda but I had never really had them before and I agree with Nae, if you can a bath is great relief.

Sorry for laughing, would be a lovely suprise though, wouldn't it?!

[Pretty Butterfly]

Yeah it would.. although we'd decided no more!!!
I have already had a af since birth, and it was just like normal, which is why this is knocking me for 6... not used to it....

[Doing my best]

I find Nurofen better than panadol for period pains. And I was told by the midwives in the hospital that it is fine for breastfeeding, just not when you are pg.

I hope that is what is happening to me Nae. Ive had bad tummy pain like AF is coming so hopefully perhaps I could still get a BFP.

[DaintreeDream]

for you too Loops.

[Loops12]

Thanks very much DaintreeDream.
Have been TTC for over 3 yrs now. Its not looking good again this time but I suppose there is always a glimer of hope.

[DaintreeDream]

There is always hope. Stay positive. I will keep my fingers crossed. How long until you are able to test this cycle?

[Loops12]

BT on the 16th. I'll probably do HPT before then though. Thanks for your support

[NaeNae]

OMG PB I have to find this other thread. I hope its a woo hoo for you.

Lou - you know I have absolutely everything crossed for you hun I really really hope you get that BFP then we can be preggy together (poor Danni) only 5 days til testing are we on togather that day?
