I didn't relize the post was older, not used to the format here yet : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-71867 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:35:58 +0000 Rubies 71867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-71866 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:35:35 +0000 Missrachelk 71866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Just got my BFP this week, and some crampy type feelings and sore BB's were my only symptoms! Well that combined with some really high temps when I randomly started temping which led me to test (I have PCOS and extremely long cycles so I had no idea when my period would come, if at all)</p> <p>I also got a BFN 2 weeks before my BFP - the negative was an internet cheapo, but 2 weeks later the cheapos, the FRER and the digital all went POSITIVE without question.</p> <p>So I'd wait a few more days then try a more sensitive test. FRER's can show some really faint lines well beore AF is due.</p> <p>Good Luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-71851 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:25:59 +0000 Bru 71851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Any good news? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-62349 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:03:46 +0000 sslm 62349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bru: I'm having lots of period-like cramping, but only 3 PDO.

Hoping they're implantation cramps - that would be good news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27524 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:02:11 +0000 twinmama 27524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 'cramps' before the BFP (at 10 dpo) were more like pinches and twinges in my pelvic area. It was like below the underwear line :) which is definitely lower than I associate with my abs. But everyone is different - a lot of people swear they feel just like AF cramps. If you're not expecting your period for another week to 10 days, I think you're testing too early. I'd wait at least another 3 days and test again. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27476 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:13:43 +0000 Rosie Girl 27476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like it could be good signs! I didn't really get the cramping, but I felt icky after I would eat. Everybody is different though. Hoping for a BFP for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27435 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:28:24 +0000 Bru 27435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EEH: Nope, stopped the pill in March &amp; we started TTC in September. (Took October off and then started again earlier this month.) Congrats on your BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27431 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:27:42 +0000 Bru 27431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I believe I'm about 7-8 DPO. Will just have to wait and see I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27430 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:26:58 +0000 eeh 27430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you just come off birth control? I had those same symptoms my first month off the pill. But..I also had them this month and just got my BFP this morning. So, it's definitely possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27426 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:21:51 +0000 carrieknitscake 27426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: This is what I'm always afraid of. This month, my breasts have been super sore since ovulation, like hurt when I do anything. It's never been like this the past couple of months. I keep telling myself that it's nothing and I shouldn't read into it. I'm just waiting for the 13/14th to know for sure. I hate how some months are completely different from others on the PMS/possible pregnancy symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27422 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:13:37 +0000 winniebee 27422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely had cramps from about 9DPO on....I got my BFP on 12DPO. It's a pretty common early pregnancy symptom! How many DPO are you? If you are 8-9DPO it is quite possible that you are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. If you are earlier than 8DPO it's a little less likely.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-like-cramping-before-bfp#post-27420 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:04:38 +0000 Bru 27420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the middle of the TWW, and for the past few days, I've been getting mild cramps -- not nearly as bad as before AF, but also not totally something to write off. If we weren't actively TTC, I'd be taken Advil (just to give you an idea about the amount of discomfort; also feels like I overdid it on ab exercises, which definitely isn't the case!).</p> <p>I've also had some boob sensitivity for the past day or so -- but mainly the nipple / areola area, not the actual breast. I've never had sore breasts before or during a period -- I'm also very small-chested (32A) -- so wondering what's up with that. Again, almost feels like I was bouncing around too much at the gym or need to buy new sports bras...but I've never had issues from working out (which I do very regularly) in the past. </p> <p>I've taken some cheap-o online tests, but all are coming up negative. Not expecting AF until 12/13. Any thoughts / similar experiences or resources I could read would be helpful! </p>
