bad period cramps... no Af???

[Pretty Butterfly]

Ok ladies, I have never suffered from period cramps too much, just a little twinge.. I get more cramps when I ovulate!!

Well for 2 days I have had bad period like cramps, but no sign at all of AF??? I have had 1 period since Harmony was born....

I have masses of globby gel though...

Is it on the way, or is something wrong?? I've never had this much pain from cramps before... its simiular to afterpains!!!

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.

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?

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...

anything is possible I suppose Nae!

[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?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Oh, and does anyone know what I can take while I'm breastfeeding??? I feel so blah.. and it hurts....
