Period like cramping 😢

I'm 5dp3dt and I have horrible cramping like period pains, so worried I am going to come on my period.

First day back at work today and I'm terrified how I will react if af arrives at work.........

Lots of love and hugs to you all.

It’s quite early for period pains - could be implantation cramping? Fingers crossed for you xx

I had really bad cramps around this time as well, I woke my husband up in the night and told him AF was on its way. I’ve only got a few days until otd so still can’t give an answer as to what it was but try to keep positive xx

Thanks all, just feeling a bit sorry for myself at the mo! Have a new house that is taking forever to get to a liveable state, fortunately we have a rental flat that we are living in so lucky in that respect but this means money is very tight, the whole avoid stress during 2ww is not really happening for me. Sorry moan over, I will try and relax later when home from work and try and be a bit more positive xx

I'm at the exact same point as you. Today I woke with low back ache and cramping. I too have been worrying but I'm sure we will be fine xx

I’m 8dp5dt and have been having on off like pains, sometimes period like pain, but also a stitch like pain when I get up from sitting too... I’m so worried too. I hate all this waiting!

ssjcox, yes I have had the stitch sort of pain to, it is so worrying but thinking it may just be the bloating from the pessaries! Thank goodness it is nearly the weekend at least, attend on relaxing a lot. Big hugs to you all xxxx

Hope you’re ok. I too have had cramping which started last night (4dp3dt) and I had that dread that my period was coming. I have endometriosis and my periods are horrendous. Today though it’s calmer, so will take each day as it comes.
