Wasted so much money on tests that month! I think odds are its just a weird month. Good luck though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2629199 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 13:00:11 +0000 Mrs. Blush 2629199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. sunshine, @knittylady: Same! I always have cramps a few days before my period (usually up to 7-10 days before, plus cramping before that during ovulation). And I also always think I MUST be pregnant, regardless of having tried or not tried! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2629171 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 12:09:14 +0000 ValentineMommy 2629171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Well??? How's it look now??</p> <p>I only really notice cramps pre-period when I'm TTC and in crazy hyper vigilant mode. It usually happens to me the month before I get my bfp lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2629103 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 10:31:49 +0000 Petitduck 2629103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get cramping for pretty much a solid two weeks before my period since having a baby and periods returning. This cycle I also had increased cm and thought it meant something. Unfortunately it was just my period as usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2629023 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 09:15:11 +0000 Mama Bird 2629023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only had early cramps when I was pregnant! And the first time, you couldn't mistake them for period cramps... the second time they felt exactly like period. I can't figure out my body either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628983 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:51:29 +0000 winniebee 2628983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: LOL! The suspense is killing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628977 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:44:30 +0000 knittylady 2628977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Totally just did. I'm at a coffee shop doing homework and it's in my bag. I will peek at it every five minutes discreetly until it's time to relieve the nanny.... So far looks negative with a chance of hysterical line eye... :crazypersonsmiley: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628971 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:40:43 +0000 winniebee 2628971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628959 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:30:43 +0000 knittylady 2628959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad the first two responses weren't telling me I'm a nut!</p> <p>I think its most likely that I'm getting geared up to TTC and getting all excited and nuts... AT the same time, with both of my pregnancies that resulted in my kids my thought was, here comes a killer period... and then boom - :bfp: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628956 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:28:09 +0000 winniebee 2628956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only one way to find out.....</p> <p>But in general if I'm really crampy several days before my period, it means I'm pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628955 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:27:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2628955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of cramps the majority of my cycle and generally think I'm pregnant like everyday regardless of what we are doing lol BUT the 2 times I thought "wow, I'm cramping a lot, this period is going to be a really bad one..." I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-cramps-4-days-before-period#post-2628948 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:15:33 +0000 knittylady 2628948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wasn't sure where to put this..</p> <p>We're not TTC, but are planning to start in the next month or so. We're using barrier methods currently and I'm 4 days out from my period. Yesterday and today I've had period like cramps and increased CM. I can't for the life of me remember CM being normal before my period or not. I'm thinking my period is coming pretty early OR dot dot dot.</p> <p>I can't believe I'm two kids in and still have no idea how my body works. Any commiseration? Stories of early cramping and how it turned out re: AF or PG? </p>
