Pregnancy Info HOME

Am also 5 weeks andhave been cramping since I got a + last week. Thanks for puttingmymind at ease, am hoping its justthe uterus stretching, like the books say!

I just turned 6 weeks today. I have been having some cramping as well, but feel silly b/c I can't tell if it's under my hip, my lower back or in my uterus! I hear it is all normal stretching, but still worry because my first pregnancy was high risk... my son was 2 1/2 mths. premature (10 years old and doing just fine)! My sister who has 6 kids said it is all normal and is the implantation at this point that I am feeling!

Hi Amy. In all my reading and research, it appears that implantation happens before you evenmiss your period- a week or so after conception. Although dozens of other girls seem to have this spotting too.. I think there may be another reason, but it seems to be nothing to worry about till it becomes red and cramps worse than a period.

hi there, just found this site by pure chance but has been really informitive dont wanna drag on with my prob but here goes any help or advise would be great ! i got my sterlization reversed 4 weeks ago and i got on a site that gave me dates when i would be most able to conceive so we did the deed that was about 3 weeks ago and im due my little friend in the 10th of tjis month but i have been having mild period pains on and off for about a week now but nothing has came yet the thing is i get my period pains a couple of days before i get my period and its not due for at least a week yet ..am i just being silly to think i might be preganant ??

Be careful in taking comfort in hearing that cramping is normal. I had cramping for 2 weeks on and off that felt like menstrual cramps and had a miscarriage 2 days ago. Go see your doctor and have your Hcg levels checked.

Hello all - first off, to the 7/4 posting from "hi", I'm so sorry for your loss... I had a miscarriage at the end of March and have been thrilled beyond words to be pregnant again - 6 weeks today. I'm 42, no living children, and am so nervous... last night I was awakened out of a dead sleep with a severe lower abdominal cramp that lasted about 2 minutes. No bleeding still today and pains have subsided - just weird "ga__sy" type, very mild sensations in my abdomen now. Any thoughts from anyone? A phone call to my doctor said it sounded okay, but I have a bad feeling... Best wishes to all of you. God Bless.

Oh wow! I am so glad that this web site exists since I had baaaad luck until now. I have lost 3 babies within the first 9weeks of pregnancy 1st with 23 2nd 24 and third 26 and I am now on a special program with the clinic and they have checked EVERYTHING, but did not find the reason why. I am now again 5 wks pregnant and also have cramps and of course I get freaked out every time and try to calm myself down. So what I do is read about your experiences since I have about tones of different pregnancy books which all have no information and I don`t trust docs like I used to. Reading this forum calms me down and gives me a positive att_tude. All I can say is try to think positive and take good care of yourselfs! Good luck to all of you.

I have had cramping since last Wednesday when my period was due. Friday I got a postive on a test. I still have been cramping, but this morning I had a brownish pinkish discharge. I am not bleeding and I haven't had the dischange since this morning. I am wondering if everything is ok?

I am just coming in to he 6th week and I had quite a few cramps last week - every day. It has stopped today and if anything I am worried as to why I cant feel them anymore - is everything okay ?

Hello everyone. I am so glad to find this site, eventhough I've read that cramping is usually your uterus stretching I am so glad to know that so MANY of you ARE experiencing the same thing. I just had IVF on June 15th. I am 5 weeks and 1 day. Had 2 previous ectopics. I'm praying that all 3 embryos attached!! Am I crazy or what? Anyway, those of you who are worried, please try not to be. I know it's difficult, but try for your sake and the baby's. Blessings to you all and healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.

Yes, i had slight cramping and talked to my doctor about it but he said it is normal your insides arent used to having somethig else in there. No need to worry

This is a great site! I have PCOS and I always thought (and was told by Dr's) that I may never get pregnant. Well I started charting my temp and think that I may be close to 4 weeks preg. I have been unbelievably tired, queasy feeling, a bit ga__sy, back pain and headaches that are all not normal for me. I went to the doctor today because I have a dull pain near my left ovary, not the sharp pain that I get near ovulation, or with cysts, but it lasts longer, and comes and goes. The doctor had me do a urine test, but it was negative, and grudgingly did an HCG test because I asked for it. Although he doesn't think that I am preg. I just feel strange... I am used to cramps etc... but this is different and I was very worried about an ectopic pregnancy. I went off the pill in April because it was making me sick. And otherwise with the PCOS, I almost never have my period. Going from my charting it was been 10 days since the temp spike. Could I be pregnant? It would be wonderful... but this pain really has me worried. It's near my left ovary, but sometimes closer to the middle. Thanks for the input!

I am so glad to here that there are so many women experiencing the same things as I am...not that I wish these cramps on anyone. I am 5 weeks and been experiencing moderate cramps on and off since the week i was supposed to get my period. I went to the Dr's last week and she said it's normal. Reading all of your stories has settled my nerves. I know anything can still happen at such an early stage, but I definitely will sleep better. My prayers are with you all.

I had a positive hpt last friday with mild cramping. Then, suddenly during the last 3 nights, I have been experiencing heavy cramping in the lower uterine area with no bleeding. Ouch!!! It woke me up 3 times last nite. Each time I would rise to go tinkle. When I laid back down to bed, I was really hurting. I had a busy day on my feet yesterday and ate lots of spicy food. Maybe that's the problem. Anyway, I'm calling my doc today....

I was supposed to start today, but did not. Hoping I pregnant! I have had cramp like symptoms on and off today and a lil bit yesterday, as if I am about to start, but nothing! All week last week my nipples were more sore than ever. Took a test this AM, it was negative....but now, I am beginning to think I really might be. Is this my wishful thinking or Is there a real possibility?? signed wishing for a little angel

I am 5 weeks and one day pregnant. I was to very nervious about the light cramping after my positive test, which is spuradic for me. I am glad to hear that it is normal. Nice to know that im not the only one!!!
