Advice needed

[Sheepwalk]

Hi,

I'm currently in my 2ww and on day 9 of 5dt. I was just wondering if anyone else still had really bad pain still I feel like my af is round the corner and about to start any min. Any help or advise would be helpful ladies xx

I had this too! I'm now 7 weeks pregnant with twins. I believe the crampy feeling is either a bit of stretching, the side effects of progesterone or your digestion becoming sluggish. Maybe a combination of all three. Occasionally I would get a pulling pain on my left side if I stretched or twisted. And I also had a little bleed at 13 days. The cramps were v alarming but might not be anything. Don't give up on your body yet. I tested at 9dp5dt and got my bfp then, so you could test if you think it would help put your mind at ease. Just remember to test in the morning.

Hi,

Thank you for this really helped. I tested this morning and I have got my bfp. Not sure if I believe it yet. My otd is 1st December and I can't wait

Congratulations! I only just tested positive too so know what you mean about not being able to believe it, after so long you lose all faith in your body and it just doesn't seem real. Enjoy it though, great news

Congratulations to both of you!

It is a bit surreal when it comes up positive and this cramping can really throw you off. I honestly thought I was going to get my period at any moment. I was on edge even after my bfp, until I got to the scan and actually saw something. Even now, I can't wait for my next scan at 8 weeks and hope I can start to relax then. It will be great to get to January and actually be able to tell people! Christmas will be hard, trying to dodge the why aren't you drinking questions....

Swww congrats to you too. I know I have avoided 3 party's Halloween and bonfire night now so I don't know what excuse I can use at Christmas. I actually can't wait for a scan. It will feel more real then .
