Cramps!

~*Jackie*~ · #1 October 6th, 2009, 12:55 PM

I'll start off by saying I do usually get light AF-ish cramps in my 2ww, but usually 8dpo+. I have been cramping since yesterday!

It's weird- like I keep checking the TP to make sure the witch didn't come to visit and check for spotting, etc... Do you all get cramps throughout your 2ww? I mean, they aren't BAD like I need to lay down or anything, but they are consistent and my brain stays wrapped around them. It's too early to be a "sign", but of course I'm hoping that this difference is the first of many this cycle.

About every 2 cycles I get pretty significant cramps 1week post-ovulation. I've never figured out what it is and its only been since we've been trying to conceive. I completely don't get it and sometimes I think it might be linked to an "issue" that I don't yet know about. Why else would I only experience after ttc? I don't know, I might just be paying more attention.

But in answer to your question... yes, I get them about 50% of the time for about 3 or 4 days.

I do occassionally get them around 3-4 dpo. Could be implantation. Good Luck!

Are you still my cycle buddy, Christina? I was wondering when you were going to get crosshairs on your chart!

And thanks for the answers, ladies. I'll chalk it up to my body being dumb again!

I even POAS yesterday (OPK) to make sure I wasn't ovulating or something weird again or still or something-- it was very negative, so I for sure ovulated but it's just crazy how these cramps are!

I am pretty sure I am, but FF is being a butt head because I didn't have a temp for Saturday! UGH!

I sometimes get random cramps through my early 2ww... I generally chalk them up to post-O cramping, and am always hopeful that it's someone snuggling in for the long haul! I hope that's the case for you!

Every cycle that I have ovulated I get cramps. My Dr said that it is probably from the corpus lutem cysts that develop after the egg is released. It's what provides the progesterone to support pregnancy and cause the lining of your uterus to thicken. I hope that this means great things.

I occasionally get cramps around O time, the again for AF.

I hope that since this is new for you, it's a good sign.

Thanks, ladies- who knows then!! I am hoping it will mean good things when I look back on it next week!

For now though, I went grocery shopping tonight and stocked up on pads since I needed them- I'm hoping that it jinxes me and I don't have to use them!
