hi,

having had my first baby last year i can say that the cramping in early pregnancy is very normal it can last anything up to 3 months. it is just your body trying to get used to something that doesn't happen all the time obviously ;-) all i can say is because the first 3 months is very crucial i would contact your gp straight away and then they will put you forward in seeing a midwife around the 8 week mark. Just stay calm and relax when you can and look after yourself as you have another life to look after. Congratulation and Good luck.

I'm on cycle day 25 of a 32 day cycle. I'm hoping to find out that I'm pregnant. I have a 9 month old son and I'm still breastfeeding him. I plan to wean him over a month or so if I get a positive test. I don't really have any pregnancy symptoms other then cramping and that could be PMS. I have had pretty regular periods since my son was 10 weeks old. I THINK ovulation is back on track.

With my son, we only made love unpretected once. I did not have symptoms other then cramping before my period was due. I took a test when it was due and it came back neg. I retested the next day and it came back neg. I then retested a week after and it came back with a faint pos.

My Husband and I are hoping to be pregnant again! I think I'm going to try and wait till I'm a week late before testing. It will be hard.

I went off the depo provera shot after being on it for over 3 years because I was feeling how much it was messing up my body. I heard that some woman had a really hard time trying to conceive after being on the shot so I decided to rid my body of any birth control for a while for the physical and emotional benefit. my last shot was October 2007. My fiance and I have sex regularly and for the past year pulling out was our only form of birth control that worked. Our mentality was not to "try" to have a baby because we would prefer to be married first but not prevent it with birth control, use the Rhythm Method and let nature take it course when it happens, it happens.

I was due for my period yesterday and was having really bad cramps, which I never got until after I started to bleed. I kept convincing myself that I was just stressed out which was causing me to pms like crazy and felt like i was on my period because i was going to start any minute now... but instead i got a pregnancy test at lunch today and the double line showed up instantly. :O

oh wow, i'm having another baby. my only daughter is almost 7, I'll be 30 in November so what a way end my 20's, pregnant. XD

i am 23 and am on what would be the second day of my normal period, even tho my periods tend to be a little irregular i know the above because i have been bleeding a little. i think docs call this spotting. the blood has been as if it was the last day of my normal period and iv stopped using tampons because they are making me too dry as there is not enough to absorb.

anyway for about a week beofre my spotting i have had light cramps which has never happened before, i took a pregnancy test today which was negitive but am not sure if it is too soon. (if im pregnant i cant be more than 15-20 days).

also i have had cysts on my ovaries when younger and my partner was told he had zero movement (sperm wise) after he went throw cancer treatment 4 years ago.

if you can offer advice i would be so greatful xx

This is unfortunately normal. 10% of women have these terrible periods. It can keep us in bed for days with heavy bleeding and cramps that can make you cry. The pain is so terrible that you end up putting your life on hold. Going on birth control can really help with this problem. Ask your doctor about a pill that can lighten cramps and bleeding, and give you your period alot less frequently. Good luck.

re you all? I have few questions. I am also 9 days late on my periods, That's 37 days. My periods are normal. I checked hpt & It came negative. I have cramps, backache, feeling tired & breast tenderness. Could I be pregnant even I got negative hpt? I took birth control pills just one month supply on July, My last menstrual period was 2 August. So I am wondering that these symtoms are pregnancy signs or Birth control pills side effects(I did not take birth control pills on August). We are sexually active & I am ttc for a year. Can anyone please let me know that could I be pregnant or anything else.

Please, Reply me. Because I read lot of stories about people getting negative hpt result when they are pregnant? Is it possible? If I am pregnant, We will be very happy.

pjsmom41706, I read your message. What do you think? Could I be pregnant? Because you told that you were pregnant & home pregnancy test showed negative result. Really appreciated.


Thanks & Good luck to you.

Meenu.

I have been having cramps for the last week. I got my period earlier this month around July 10th. So, I know that my period should not be coming again for another two weeks or so. I usually don't start to get cramps until a week or a few days before. I've been tired. I also bled a little bit about a week ago and I'm not sure why. My mom had a history of miscarriages and in order to have me she had to use a test tube. My ex-boyfriend had tried to get me pregnant without knowing and I found out, but it turned out I didn't get pregnant. This happened a few times and I still didn't get pregnant. So, that led to my conclusion that I couldn't get pregnant. But ever since a week ago, I've been increasingly worried that I could be pregnant. Do you think that I actually could be pregnant?

I'm worried about my girlfriend so I'm gonna start a new topic.

Okay nvm, it won't let me start a new topic since I'm a newcomer in this forum.

So the deal with my girl... almost two weeks ago, we tried putting the head of my penis (no condom because didn't have anymore) into her opening of her vagina and only 3/4 of the head of the penis went in and for no longer than 45 seconds. I do get "pre-cum"(the clear fluid that comes out) whenever we do sexual intercourse. On a side note, based on my science classes, that "pre-cum" may contain sperm due to previous ejaculation. But I remember at the time before I put 3/4 of the head in, I kept wiping the "pre-cum" off my penis with a towel before going in. However, I still constantly secretes that clear fluid and I know that based on experience. It made us worry that some few sperm may have got in to her vagina to the uterus at the time we did that.

So today, its been almost 2 weeks since we did that. 3 days ago she had experienced mild cramps, sore breast only when touched or poked, and she felt really tired. But today and yesterday she felt OK. According to her, she had already missed about a week of her menstrual cycle. However, this wasn't the first time and she always had irregular periods and they are usually late. But she is still worried that she might be pregnant and got me worried as well. So I asked her a few questions about symptoms and according to her she had no back pain. She just experienced one day mild cramps, sore breast only when touched, and felt really tired. When I ask her about her behavior recently, she said that she eats a lot, pee a lot, and no mood swings. To me, eating a lot is normal and peeing more often is may be due to her drinking more water since she brings water with her to campus (school started about 2 weeks ago as well).

Her answers may be true but they also may have been exaggerated as well. I know she is stressing and really paranoid about getting pregnant. I am worried about it too but I get extremely worried when she worries about it. But based on the facts i see, it is possible for her to be gotten pregnant but the chances are very very slim. But still, chances are chances. So I don't have any answer for myself but to wait and see. In fact, I'm going to do an hCG level test tomorrow but I'm not sure if it's still too early to test. But I've never worried so much like this before, so if anyone can help or provide more tips to me that would be really appreciated.
