Hi EmRob, I am in my 2ww on my first cycle, I have been told by the hospital to test on day 9 which I worry is a little bit early. I have seen lots of posts mentioning cramps and being convinced AF was on the way and test was positive! It really is such an emotional rollercoaster!

Good luck💛💫

Hi EmRob. It could be that when your motions pass by your ovaries they are causing some pain. Your ovaries might still be a bit active so you get period type pains when that happens. Just have a rest when you can and drink plenty of water. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Diane
