I found that the relief from the cramping made things much better, and the folic acid doesn't have any weird side effects like constipation, diarrhea, or green poop( gross I know). The folic acid really is the most important thing for when you are ttc. I added a fish oil supplement too because I read that can be good for brain development. Sometimes I feel like the one size fits all prenatals don't work out for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618761 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 12:30:19 +0000 MsBAM 2618761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2 @winniebee: I hope it's ovulation cramping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618760 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 12:29:27 +0000 MsBAM 2618760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tionn3: Maybe it is the prenatal vitamin. I've been on it three months and this is the first time I've experienced cramping to this extent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618754 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 12:24:23 +0000 Tionn3 2618754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be ovulation cramping. Sometimes I get a pain in my right side kind of like on the inside of my hip bone and it almost feels like a tightness. It doesn't happen all the time. </p> <p>Another thing to think about. Sometimes prenatal vitamins can cause cramping. I was on a prenatal vitamin for a couple months and realized that the vitamins were causing me to have weird cramps. I think it may have been the iron, but it was driving me insane. So I stopped taking the prenatal and the cramping stopped. Now I just take 800mcg of folic acid...the doctor told me that is really the most important thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618618 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 08:44:54 +0000 winniebee 2618618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what happens when I'm ovulating and I typically ovulate day 17. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618548 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 07:21:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2618548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsBAM: sounds like ovulation cramps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-on-cycle-day-17#post-2618483 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 23:36:33 +0000 MsBAM 2618483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our first month TTC. I don't know if I've ovulated yet, or if it's possible to get pregnancy symptoms this early. The last few days I've had mild cramping, but especially today I had stronger cramps in my stomach area and lower back that are similar to cramps when AF is coming. Is it possible to get pregnancy symptoms this early? From what I've read it's usually 6-12 days after conception. I don't usually get cramps unless AF is on its way and that's still two weeks away. Thoughts? </p>
