Elena, don't worry about being so emotional! I think that it was ttc does...it makes you very emotional! I am the same way. Maybe your dream was a good sign...keep our fingers crossed!
Anna, I'm trying to stay busy & keep my mind off of things...I teach high school so my days tend to go by very quickly w/o much time to think about anything (except how I can possibly want kids after dealing with 8th graders for 90 minutes! :)) So far no sign of AF, still just cramping. I keep feeling like she is coming so I want to run to the bathroom to check, but yet I don't, because I am so scared that she will be there! Normally around the time AF begins I might get a pimple or two (I'm 27, so I'm hoping that the big days of pimples are behind me!) but the past few days I have gotten several. Are pimples by any chance a sign of pregnancy, or am I just hoping way too much here??:) Have a great afternoon ladies & baby dust!!

You sound just like me. I would keep running to the bathroom thinking that I was going to start NOW! But every time...nothing. Right after I ovulated and got PG, my face broke out. For my whole first trimester, my face would break out and clear up a little, then break out and clear up a little. It was from all the crazy pregnancy hormones. Fortunately it went away by the second trimester and my skin is awesome! So how many days have you been cramping? Is this normal for right before your af? Whenever I would get my af, I only cramped for a day or so before it started. So I knew something wasn't normal. It's funny when I think about it, but I have almost an identical post to yours somewhere on here about cramping when your PG. Before I knew I was PG, I posted a question about implantation cramping. Happily, things turned out good! I hope the same for you!

I think that I am starting to get my hopes up way too much! Especially since I am only on CD21-22. I have now been cramping for 4 full days. Normally I cramp for maybe a day before hand...if that. However, my short cycle last month (18 days, which I still attribute to Fertility Blend) I cramped for about 3 days before AF showed up. So I don't know what to think! I could have sworn that I didn't even ovulate this month...unless it was early in my cycle or I just missed it. Right now I'm just happy that my cycle is longer than 18 days...that had me quite concerned! The face/pimple thing is driving me nuts! It's those kind that you can't really see, they are under the skin & they hurt! :) Thanks for all the good wishes! I think I may go to the Dollar Tree & get a HPT, although I still think that AF is just around the corner...been thinking that for days now! :) How are things going with your pregnancy? Smoothly I hope! Thanks for all of the positive thoughts!

Hey Ladies, today at work I felt a bit stunned by a few sharp pains in my lower abdomen. I don't recal ever feeling these types of pains. it wasn't a normal cramp. It was more like a tugging sensation. Could this be implantation pains? Really looking for something different and good this cycle. I'm 7dpo.

Chrysti, I would think that your pain could definitely be implantation pains...anything is possible! When is AF due? Have you had any more pains recently? I am currently on CD 23 & have been cramping (just like if AF is coming) for 5 days now, no idea what this means! Let me know how things are going for you! Good luck & baby dust!!

well, today is cd2. my cycle is 35 days. i have had very minor cramping off and on. I've had that in the past. maybe todays pains were good, meaningful pains. not expecting af til 12/11 let me know how you're doing.

Chrysti, it could be ovulation pains. I got those for a week after I ovulated, when I got PG. Alli, have you tested yet? I can't wait to hear how things turn out for you! It really sounds like implantation cramping to me!

Well, still no sign of AF! I'm still cramping (5 1/2 days now), but I think that it's getting lighter. The first few days of cramping was a little more intense, but now it is not so much. Although everytime I went to the bathroom I was positive it was going to be AF...I even took a tampon with me I was so sure. I don't know what to think. I'm still only on CD23, & I have been cramping since CD17, it just seems so early. When did you start cramping Anna? I have heard that sometimes this type of cramping can mean that you have cysts?? I have never had cramping like this for so long. & definitely never w/o AF. Also, at the beginning of this cycle I tried temping...up until I started cramping at CD17 & then I stopped for a day or two because my temp never went above 97.5 so I just assumed I never Oed. Well, a few days ago I decided to temp again & it is above 98...could this be a good sign? I took HPT on CD21, but it was neg. I bought several of them from the Dollar Tree, so I think I will test again tomorrow morning. How are you doing Chrysti? Still having pains? I'm sending us both lots of baby dust!!!!

sorry ladies, i just read my last post. I meant to say cd26, not cd2.....big dif. the sharp pains only lasted an hour or so. my only hopes are that that was implantaion pains. my cervix is really high, and my temps are still up. i believe today is cd27.

Alli, my strongest cramps were during the first 5-6 days, then they got lighter. My cramping started about 7-8 days after ovulating. When is your af supposed to be due? I don't want to get your hopes up just in case your not, but you sound so early pregnancy! Let me know when you test!

Chrysti, I sort of figured that you had left out a number there on of CD! I have never checked my cervix, not even sure if I would know how. How do you know where to find it?
Anna, I am trying not to get my hopes up too much...especially since I keep telling myself that I didn't O this month! For right now I am just trying to be happy that my cycle seems to be back to normal. It is usually about 25-27 days. Last month it was only 18 days, but I attribute that to taking Fertility Blend for 8 days! I have a pelvic ultrasound scheduled for the 13th because my dr. had told me that if I wasn't preg.by the end of my next cycle he wanted me to come in. Well, when I started cramping on CD17 I thought AF was coming, so I scheduled the u/s for day 13 of my next cycle. Obviously it's not going to be CD13 since AF has not shown up, but I'm debating whether or not I should keep the appt. Any suggestions? Anna, did you have any other symptoms, such as nausea, sore bbs or anything? I don't seem to have anything except for cramps....& pimples! :) Think I will test tomorrow morning again!

One more question...any chance that strange dreams are an indication of pregnancy? The past 2 nights I have had crazy dreams, & I NEVER remember my dreams. Just wondering. :)

I would just wait and see if you get a + HPT or your af before you cancel your appt. How long is it until your appt.? If it's really soon, then just call your md and let him know the situation and he should know what's the best thing to do. Let's see...other s/s. The week after I started cramping, my nipples started standing out! The only way to describe it is porn star nipples (as another woman described it). About a week after that my nipples started getting tender and have been that way my whole pregnancy. I didn't get any other s/s until about a month or so after getting pregnant. Except for my face breaking out. And my back and chest got some small breakouts on them, too. If you test again, I suggest using First Response Early because most other brands require a higher level of hCG to be present in your urine. And I did some research on HPTs months ago and the dollar store ones test around 100 while first response and a few other brands test around 25. If it's still neg., I would wait until your af is due and get a blood test.

Sorry, didn't see your last post. YES! PG woman can have wild dreams! I had crazy, vivid dreams about stampeding elephants, wild African men trying to kill me, and sky diving! They were very weird dreams!

about checking for cervical position: wash your hands, you put your finger up in. there's this like barrier(cervix). either you reach it with no problem, or it's hard to reach. i have read that it moves up high when preggo. differs for all people, but could be a sign. from what i've read, my cervix should be lower. hoping this is a good thing.
