5 or 6 DPO and cramping/twinges...so odd!

gerbies

First cycle back to trying and since 2 or 3 DPO, I have had odd cramps (not full-on AF cramps...more like "mini-AF" cramps and twinges) off and on.  I never get cramps...even before AF, it's hit or miss.  Though I felt like I was in tune with my body before, maybe when TTC, we get more in tune?

Who knows what will happen...but do you ladies find this as well?  Maybe just me paying more attention to every feeling/sign?

More than likely you are now hyper aware of everything.  Cramping, twinges, etc. is completely normal and occurs at some point every cycle for me.  Also, the twinges can be gas.

Yeah, @gerbies I'm 6 DPO and now every time I notice the slightest twinge I catch myself wondering. I just talk myself down, chaulk it up to gas, and try to move on.

So true!  I love that..."chalk it up to gas"...

yup, i've become hyper aware for sure. Every single twinge before ovulation gets me thinking something is going on, and then every little twinge after makes me think I must be pregnant now! It's maddening.

I've been getting lots of cramps this cycle, so not normal for me! It's frustrating how TTC messes with our heads!

Yup...sucks. add a less than normal cycle and you have full on crazy like me this had been one of those twinge loaded cycles. Guess I should lay off the broccoli and carbonated sodas before I really go of the deep end

As PPs have said, you are probably just hyper sensitive.  This cycle I had twinges since 3 DPO.  They came off and on through out my 2WW.  I still had them 2 days into this new cycle.  Unfortunately, they probably mean nothing.  When I want it more cycles than others for one reason or another, that is when I notice every little thing and end up with more phantom symptoms than normal and BFNs.  With my first, we were NTNP and I knew of none of this stuff and don't remember feeling any phantom symptoms.  The only thing I knew to look for was a late period.

I definitely notice mild cramping on one or two days of the TWW now that I'm TTC. This cycle I noticed them on 7DPO, but they might have been gas.

I agree with all the PP. I wonder sometimes if I'm hyper aware our an I creating this for myself. I'm 6 DPO and everything I eat makes me nauseous. WTF?! I know that doesn't mean a BFP, so come on now! Good luck to you!

When I started TTC I found I had weird cramping all the time, I noticed it way more - I truly think as soon as you TTC you become hyper aware of everything your reproductive parts are up to and you just notice things more. Try not to read into every twinge and let it drive you crazy, unfortunately over two years TTC have taught me this lesson all too well.
