Are you on any meds right now? Progesterone makes me cramp.....

My LPD does not give me cramps.  Just a short LP and lower P4 readings at 7dpo.  In fact, I only get cramps during AF maybe one in four cycles.  And then only for a day.  But I will say in treatment cycles (IUIs) I've had cramping (or twinges) throughout almost the entire 2ww.  I don't know if it has something to do with over sensetive, over worked ovaries on those cycles or what.

 But would an lpd mean that af could really be on the way even though it's early?  Af ways gives me cramps though it's much better since lap and lupron

I always cramp from 6dpo or so on. My LP is usually 13 days. To answer your question, it could mean something, but then again it might not. There can definitely be surprises within cycles that end up being totally fine. Gl!

I have cramping at least a few days between 9-12dpo.  This has happened every cycle that I can recall, even my PG cycle.  Some have been more noticeable than others though.  I always try to read something into it (PG or AF), but if I look at my charts, it just always seems to happen (medicated cycle or not, progesterone or not).  Hope it means something good for you though!

If your period started today or on cd10 that could be a sign of LPD if it happens repeatedly - try not to come up with problems.  We all get handed enough in IF that we don't need to give ourselves more to worry about.  Cramps are cramps.  As someone said, it could mean something good, it could mean nothing at all.  Who knows.  Just make a note in your FF so that if it happens again you might start to see a trend.  When I first started charting I noticed I get gassy around 8dpo, and the first few months thought it was a "sign" I was PG.  Turns out I just get gassy at that point in my cycle...no reason why...it's just how I am.  But at least I know now it's not something to worry about, as well as nothing to get excited over.

100% agreed! I hope it means nothing at all. Just curious if it was something to make note of and possibly mention to RE. I'll make a note in FF and and AF doesn't come for a few more days then no worries (and if it does I'll just watch to see if it becomes a trend)

This cycle was the first cycle I had any cramping with and after O and it lasted almost the entire 2WW. I was weirded out too, but turns out it is pretty common, especially when on clomid or femara.

Good luck and baby dust to you!
