I'm wondering

If you ladies could think back to when you were pregnant, did any of you not get the crampy feeling, like AF was going to show up, until you were late???
I don't usually get cramps until cd1, but every time that I've been preggers I've had cramping feelings for a few days before, usually after 6dpo. this time I'm feeling nothing at all. I guess I'm just wondering if this is a sign of a BFN to come or if there still is hope.

just remember this: every pregnancy is different! even mom who have 2 or more of the same gender will tell stories of how different each pg was! hang in there...

and as far as the crampy feeling-i didn't start getting those af type cramps until after my bfp.

I usually get cramping before AF... this last BFP I didn't have any AF like cramping.. Here's to hoping this is your sticky one!

Every pg is different but with my last BFP I felt sure AF was on her way and with this one I really didn't have any cramping until after my BFP. Good luck!

I don't usually get cramps before AF, AF doesn't usually give me horrible cramps either just a few spots before to kinda "warn" me she's coming. But not every cycle.

Each of my pregnancies were a little different, with
DS1 I don't remember much *beforehand* as far as symptoms except the CRAZY emotions & stuffy sinuses.
DD, I remember *THE* day my DD game me implantation cramps she about doubled me over! Spotted with her too... she was a PAL. She also gave me a little nausea and allot of fatigue from what I remember around the day I tested, AF was due and it was suuuuuper faint!! (Stuffy sinuses again)
DS2 I don't remember feeling many symptoms beforehand, perhaps some twinges of pain like cramps and of course the stuffy sinuses.

With these last 2 pregnancies... I may have had some twinges of cramps, stuffy sinuses of course lol

I can never tell if it is pregnancy symptoms or signs that AF is on her way!! I swear every time I get pregnant, the symptoms I got (before AF was due) were completely different!! My first pregnancy I knew before AF because I woke up one morning and my breasts were soooo sore and were much bigger (no cramps that time). After that sore bbs became a sign of AF so that totally confused me!! This last time, I was sooo crampy I thought for sure AF was going to show up. I waited all day and when the witch didn't show... I knew I was pregnant because the cramps were soooo intense and by the end of the day I knew something was up

So don't count yourself out yet!! Maybe your body is just trying to confuse you like mine confuses me!!

Thanks ladies...I'm still hopeful then.

I never cramped before or during any of my 4 pregnancies that are living children. With this one that I just lost, I had horrible back cramps from just after the BFP. That was what made me so uneasy with the pregnancy. Plus I never spotted or had any hint of anything with all 4 living children, another clue something was not right.

I did have implantation brown discharge with my DD, and never had a cramp with that either. The blood was dark brown like (poo poo brown) sorry for the tmi, but I thought I had s.... my pants! That was the day I got my BFP which was the day AF was due. All negative before that day.

All of my sons were found out 5-6 days before AF was due and never had any cramping/ or implantation signs. Very tired and nautious, very big boobs with DS1 and DS3 and DD. My DS2, boobs never hurt or got bigger, no symptoms at all really.

I didn't get any until after AF was due. I tested at 15 dpo and started cramping within a day or so. I had some weird back twinges but no actual cramping.

Oreobaby · #10 September 10th, 2009, 06:33 PM

I didn't feel crampy before my

until this past cycle, I never got cramps until CD1

When pg with DD I thought AF was coming. Cramps, burning sensation, sore bbs.... so I didn't truly know I was pg until I POAS, although intuition told me I was.....

Crossing my fingers for you Trish

Loving6 · #14 September 11th, 2009, 06:45 AM

I was crampy for sure!!

With this pregnancy I didn't really get any cramps before my BFP or after. During the pregnancy that ended in loss, I had cramps almost the whole time. I've got my fingers and toes crossed that you get a BFP with a sticky bean.
