So...from my calculations AF isn't supposed to show until next week, although my body is whacked out these days.
Last night...
- Major cramps - I've never had cramps like this before, lower abdomen, excruciating
- Discharge that I normally get a couple of days before AF
- Spotting today
I'm trying not to stress. I don't know if it's AF, M/C or chemical because I've never experienced the latter two. What would you do??

About a week before AF was due I had cramping and brown tinged discharge..I knew I was either pregnant or AF was coming early.I took a HPT at 9 dpo (bfn) then again at 11dpo and it was a bfp! FX for you !

Wait til you miss AF, then test. Spotting could also be implantation bleeding.
I think I had a chemical pg in the spring because my cycle is usually very predictable, but AF was a day late and I saw a *very* faint line on a test the day before she arrived.

@babycanuck: Are you stressed? Stress does weird things to your body.

This could be many many things. Wait until AF is due to arrive and take a HPT. Until then, try not to stress it!

If AF isn't supposed to come till next week, I think you are too early to test. I think even the **best tests can only predict 6 days before a missed period.

I think (i can't be certain) but I think I O'd on theh 26th or 27th.
@littlek - for ONCE (!) I'm not stressed, vacation does wonderful things and I refuse to let work get to me now that I'm back!!
I picked up four digital tests this morning to use whenever - two pack of FRER (Yes+ or No-) and two pack of Clearblue Digital with conception monitor since it was on sale

@babycanuck: my guess is you are 10 DPO. If you can, I'd hold off until Friday, because you will be 12 DPO.

I had pretty bad cramps in the week before I got a bfp; I also had some weird (like, unusual for me) discharge. I would agree with everyone else who says to wait a few more days though.

@Char54 how long did the discharge last? weird tmi question but I still have it a day later

For me, personally, I spot/get discharge before AF so if that happens towards the end of my LP, I usually believe it's AF on the way.

The brain in me wants me to tell you to wait and test in about 3-4 days.
But, I'm a compulsive POASer and I'd probably be testing already, lol

ok so it's more like AF spotting now 
I'm pretty sure she's here a week early so tomorrow will be CD1. I was doing my best not to stress with not charting, etc. but I've decided I'm going to do it again. Time to find my BBT and I have lots of wondfo OPKs.
Sigh.

DH has been great - he's all "so we'll keep trying" but I'm heartbroken. I have a my annual on Sept 9th so maybe from some bloodwork she'll shed some light on the situation.
