Ok girls... I gotta question.

I had a friend tell me that she had cramping very early on in both of her pregnancies. Thats how she knew she was preggo this time.

For the past day and a half I have had the same thing. They are mild without spotting or anything. Its not gas pains either.

What do you guys think? I have the sore nipples mild nausea off and on and firm abd too.

It could well be...

I experienced the same last month. I was sure i was pregnant but my AF arrived 2 days later.

The thing to remember is that early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to period symptoms.

When are you expecting your period?

Anyway, here's some baby dust for you..

I think you might be honey!!!

I had mild but noticable cramps when i was pregnant i was 6 weeks when i found i was pregnant!
I suggest you take a pregnancy test hun!!!
Do your boobs feel any different? That is one of the first signs of pregnancy.

My boobs were sore, and also another sign was excess gasiness. I dont know if you have had that or not but that was a sign, and a lot of tiredness. Good luck to you, are you late yet? if you are go ahead and take a ept.

I had cramps also and was convinced I would get my period anyday...lol. I was exhausted, sore nipples and awful heartburn. I was a little slow putting it all together..... Rolling Eyes

Actually, i've had mild cramping since this afternoon. I really feel like my AF is coming. However, it is not due for another 10-12 days Confused

I have no other symptoms just cramping....

Anyway, can't wait to hear how you get on!

my periods were never regular so that didn't help me any knowing~I was VERY tired, all i wanted to do is sleep! The "cramping" i had i was use to from battling endometriosis/eating disorder didn't think nothing of it. I was just curious so i took the "extra" test we had in the house~nothing~a few more days go by and im just feeling crappy so i go and buy one without even telling my DH, i stop at a gas statiopn and take it~sure enough, very faint positive. I call him freaking out! I went to the doc i was BEARLY 3 weeks. But after that for the next 6 weeks i had cramping. They said it was my uterus adjusting and streching.

If i were u, i would see my doc and take a test. You never know. Good Luck! Very Happy

Well the cramping is light but still there. My AF isn't due until the weekend, so its probably too early to test. The suspense is killing me and I know how powerful the mind can be. Something just tells me that I am.

Other symptoms I have been having are tender nipples, mild reflux (which is very rare for me), fullness in the abd, mild nausea (off and on).

I just wish this weekend would hurry up!!!!! Very Happy

Thanks for all the advice! Best wishes to all of us. I will let you guys know when I do. I just went off the pill at the end of January so I am trying not to get my hopes up.

I have another question but I'll make another thread...its about diff kinds of preg tests!!

I hope someone can possibly help me. About 3 months ago I was at the doctor for tender breast and heartburn. He said it was probably just around the time for my period, Well since I have not had a period since I started the birth control Seaonale almost 2 years ago, I thought that was very odd. I tried to tell him that I have never had tender breast or heartburn ever before. He switched my birthcontrol to a 28 day cycle pack and he said that I should develop a normal period. Well about 3 weeks ago I would have started my third month of the new pills but chose to go off birth control. I still have not had a period even almost a month after going off. I am now expierencing discomfort in my abdomen and lower stomach, and light cramping. At the time of my doctor visit they took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I have also had a lot of gassiness, headaches and still have the heartburn. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on, could I be pregnant? I have an appointment on Wednesday for a yearly check up, will they be able to tell if I am pregnant without having me take a test? If someone could help me or give me some advice I would appreciate it!!

Thanks!!
