I am now a week away from AF and been getting increasingly painfulcramps since Wedn, so started a whole 9-10 days b4 AF which I never get (painful cramps start the day b4 or during). I also feel lethargic and kinda ill.

I doubt these are PG symptoms - if they r, I'd be concerned as people don't report painful cramps (or if they do, it's usually ectopic), just niggling ones, and it was a bit early on Wedn to get implantation cramps (not sure when I OV'd, maybe early last week).

Maybe AF is due tomorrow, nearly a week early, but I'd be shocked. I've read stuff about STDs creating these kinda cramps, or ectopic pregnancies.

Anyone else had these painful cramps so long b4 AF due? x

Please don't worry hun....last month I had cramps well bf af was due (whch i never usually do)...she came along in the end...
But.... cramping is also a pg symptom....so if you can, try and wait to see if she comes and start testing if she doesn't show (i know its easy to say)!!!

Thanks hon. I'm a bit of a hypocondriac (sp!!) at the best of times so am even worse now I'm watching my body in intense detail!!! Just took a tablet and already feel better so maybe it's indigestion pushing on my pre-AF uterus lining!!! x

Thats the ticket!!!!!

In December, I was awoken every single morning at 5am with severe cramps. I swore I was pregnant. Then I came on on day 34/35 with such shockingly bad cramps that I feel the lead up was just a warning about how bad it was going to be.

Is probably nothing. You have my sympathy though.

Try not to worry maybe it's nothing serious.the pain went away so that's a good sign.I don't think a tablet would stop the pain if it was related to an ectopic.Think positive.Who knows,it could be early implantation.Hope the stays away.If you aren't already pg i hope u get your BFP by March.Good luck!

Update - now have high temperature and feel soooooooooo fluey so think it's stomach flu. My mum said people at work have had the same. O well, explains all the tiredness and cramps from past few days, boo!

aww i hope u feel better soon!

Hope you feel better soon. It still might be preg symptoms so dont lose heart....not long now - when are you testing?

I hope you feel better soon sweetheart.
