I read so often how AF cramping & PG cramping is the same so just wondered how many of you experienced it around the time your AF was due etc when you first found out you were PG & AF was due.

Cramps today at the top of my theighs mainly whch I sometimes get with AF.

Only thing we have going for us is the tests being strong which are never this strong at this point so thats totally new for us & we're obviously hoping it's the best sign yet as far as pregnancies go.

Starting to really panic about these cramps & when I read PG & AF cramps are the same it doesn't help me I guess when it's never brought a good outcome so we're just holding on to the fact the positive is as strong as it can be.

ARGHHHHH

I got horrendous cramps with maddie, its all your bits stretching!

Totally understand why your getting freaked out hun with everything that you have been through.

Its the same as getting light spotting and brownish discharge, doesn't mean that the PG is failing this can also be a "normal" PG sign ...

The only thing i can say for you to do is paracetamol and feet up!

Not going to take anything.

Am shitting myself - I'm pretty much scared to go to the toilet

Aww Char,

The cramps are totally normal in pregnancy I remember going to the loo every 10 mins "To check" with Amelia's pregnancy and one day crying that there was nothing there in relief because I was convinced I could feel trickling.

I had cramps,discomfort you name it also bloating and a feeling I can't quite describe "Down there".

Also I peed on a stick for 40 days solid,lol can you remember all those preg tests Char?

Keep chin up I know it is so hard and try to be positive although I know how hard that is too. It HAS to work for you one day and that one day is NOW.

Take care Hunnie

I had cramps too, had a constant feeling AF was coming and was going to the toilet about 3 times an hour to "check".

They felt exactly like the cramps I got with AF too. They didn't ease up until about 8 weeks and then sort of faded away and I didn't feel Pg or anything until the bump.

Fingers and toes crossed Wobbles

Its just so scarey *cries*

Cramps in legs & bottom of bits only mild tingle sin tummy.

Defo AF like

Fingers crossed for you Char. Hope the cramps get better soon.

Still have cramps but no bleeding ....

I'm offically a nervous wreck it feels like I am bleeding ...

I've been testing like mad OH asked how many I'd wasted yesterday & wouldn't let me buy more tests in Tesco lol O even did the OPK experiment & it was way stronger than the control line - If I did't know better I would think I was ovulating lol

I'm trying to stay calm but I can't. You all/most know this is so different for us at this point so my heads mashed. I hope this pregnancy sticks coz I know I'm in for a big fall if it doesn't

Another test this morning

Another nice strong line

Cramps and feeling like you're bleeding... yup had those. Body seems to go into overdrive producing CM when you're PG and it feels just like when you get AF there's that much.

I hope you have your feet up today.
