I am experiencing the same thing just wrote about it ! Ugh, it's kind of annoying unless I am pregnant then I will SO put up with it lol! But it's in my lower abdomen and groin area. Different from period cramps cause I usually have terrible cramps where I am almost screaming / puking from pain in the past. I also have had ovarian cysts and its the not the same . Because of where it is located . It's just different , the pain on a scale 1-10 , 10 being severe its like a 3 so it's just there . Goes away here and there but I have had it since 7dpo . Now I'm at 12 dpo. Also had 9 dpo I bleed a dark brown just a few drops though. It's crazy to me if I was pregnant and it was all so by the book. When I noticed the blood on day 9 dpo I cried cause I just kinda knew in my mind I was pregnant . But now I'm self doubting . Just wish I could get a straight forward answer. Would this be your first pregnancy ? It would be mine , and I usually get a few cramps maybe for like a half an hour once before I start this time it just keeps happening .

Hi, Im new here, hope you don't mind me jumping in, I am experiencing the same.

I Only usually get cramps for one day, the day before af arrives, but this cycle ive have mild cramps since 5dpo, then last night (7dpo) I had quite bad (pain scale 4-5) cramps & lower back pain that lasted all night & most of this morning.

I still have mild cramps now, along with feeling a bit bloated. Only other symptom to note is day 4/5/6 past ovulation, I had horrendous mood swings - I usually only have one "dragon day" (as my oh calls it) the day before af, but those days i was really irrational, really snappy & generally unpleasant to be around

Have you ladies noticed anything similar with moods?

TIA

Hi Colie,

Thanks for the reply. This is our ttc#1 so don't know what to expect. It has been 5 months of trying already and 2ww is just nerve wrecking :( Have you tested at all? Keep me posted. Good luck :) My cramping is pretty gone at 12dpo but still bfn. Will see if periods arrive on Tuesday. X

Hi whanau

Absolutely not. Glad you joined in :) Unfortunately I have a mood swing problem unrelated to my monthly hormonal changes so can't tell the difference . Since its out 5th month trying, I do feel more anxious and emotional than normal. When are you planing to do the test? Mine was negative this evening. I am not going to waste anymore tests and just wait and see if my period shows up.

is it you first month trying? X
