Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to get pregnant but was told repeatedly in the Trying To Get Pregnant board to come here because I asked a question about implantation cramping. Boy that was a nightmare. I hope this board is a bit more laid back. lol Anyway, I am trying for baby # 3. Hope to be joining you all soon.
Re: I'm new here..
You do realize that the ladies of that board can see this too right? It's very offensive to ask if you are pregnant to ladies who are trying to but are not yet. Obviously that would not go well if you asked someone in the same position in real life so it's best to be sensitive to others anywhere you find yourself.
Aside from that, I did have cramping a few days leading up to expected AF and found BFP from each of those four experiences. So it could be a sign. Good luck to you.

I did have some type of cramps but they went away after I got my BFP....
Ask for help, of course, but make sure to ask to the right group. This is a great place to ask ladies. Yes, some ladies on TTGP, etc. may have children but there is still a better time and place, obviously. If you go to the right board, you are more likely to get a TON of advice an help, rather just a few comments and hurting others. It's just common courtesy to be sensitive to others around you...on the bump and IRL.

I'm slightly confused too. TTGP has a lot to do with leading up to getting pregnant which involves signs and symptoms that some may experience before their BFP. If you don't have a BFP, you are technically still TTGP :]
Reguardless, I had a lot of cramping leading up to and continued until about 9weeks. Praying for your BFP. GOOD LUCK!
I understand that a lot of women on the TTGP are not pregnant but the ones who have been could of easily answered the question, she did not say she was pregnant she asked about implantation cramps a known symptom of pregnancy in some women which we probably could answer better because we are all going through this stage. She asked the ladies actively trying because maybe one is at the same stage she is at or has been there before. IMHO I did not feel it was neccesary for her to be attacked like that, call me what you want, she handled herself well and moved on. I ask my SIL about pregnancy questions and she and my brother are trying but the reason I asked her is because she has been pregnant before and may have some insight just like some of the ladies on that board.
Meh, I guess you didn't get my point. I don't want to split hairs over this...just give a different point of view since there were some hurt feelings. Good luck to you again OP. I did mention my personal experience and I hope you find your BFP!

Since you're new here, I'll enlighten you. On all of the bump, not just TTGP it's considered rude to dirty delete aka DD a post. The drama was fed even MORE by you deleting because now there's an entire post about that. Oh and btw...they can see what you say here, too. YWIA.
This lol
As I'm sure you'll also learn, people don't forget here on the bump. You're the one that continued it even more by starting off your post here bashing TTGP. That upsets a lot of people, me included because as someone who spent enough time there to understand why the board operates the way it does you're one of 2 million people who come and post a question, then get butthurt when the board doesn't support their fishing. But alas, I've only got my memory to go on and since you DDed no one new can actually see what you said nor what was said to you.
I gotta call BS on you not caring whether they said you were pregnant or not. You just said in this thread: "courty625 Well that's encouraging, because that sounds like what I'm experiencing. This is just a different sensation than my last two pregnancies, although its been a while since I've been pregnant, I feel like its my first. : Thanks!" Ok...so it's encouraging that someone is telling you your symptoms could mean pregnancy since for them it did, but you don't care? Right.
Really? TTGP was a nightmare for you? Because I'm watching The Walking Dead and I'm thinking my nightmares will forever involve the zombie apocalypse and not an amazing group of women on the Internet.

It was only a nightmare because we didn't say "SQUUUUUEEEEEEE your def preggo!"
sure why I have to justify my question or my desire to have a baby? Is this not The Bump? I dont appreciate being berated for asking a question, or having people make a thread solely to insult me...yea nightmare and just sad that people waste hours out of their day to be hateful to someone.
Why waste hours out of your day caring then?

Exactly. CLEARLY you care enough to continue responding. Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands also.
Im going back to the "nightmare board"...Since you know you're so smart and all...I mean you have like "2 boys and a husband"...smh
I don't come to 1st trimester to find you. I'm pregnant. I also lurk on TTGP because I spent over a year there and the women were incredibly supportive of me.
This is a completely sincere tip that I think will help you if you're sensitive to comments online: Lurk on a board before posting. You'll learn a lot about the regular posters there, the type of questions that are asked all the time, and which sort of posts go over well and which don't on the board.

Will do. Remember, you're the one asking internet strangers about your pg symptoms-if you are pg. Not to mention YOU mentioned your family and how "smart you are".
LOL.
After 2 pages on 1st tri and your original post on TTGP this is all you've gathered -not to ask about implantation cramps? ....Sigh.
My suggestion wasn't snarky either (the quote button helps us figure out who you're talking to, by the way). Yes, The Bump is different from most pregnancy forums out there, but I find that to be a very good thing.
Since you're now on 1st trimester, I'll tell you that I did have a couple of hours of period-like cramps at 6-7 DPO with my first two pregnancies. I can't say for sure that was implantation cramping, but it was unusual for me. I didn't have any cramping during the 2WW with this pregnancy.

Ahh ok. Trying to navigate this on my phone. Yeah, it just felt unusual for me also, I feel fine now no cramps. I'm about 7 DPO and I only get cramps on the day of AF so we'll see if it actually is or not. Thanks for your input.
