Phantom Period Cramps?

Unem

I've been cramping for a week now.  I keep expecting AF to show up any second.  I thought I had a period at 9 weeks pp and I'm 13 weeks out right now.  I know it can be screwy for awhile, but what's the deal with all of this cramping?

I've totally had the phantom cramps. I started getting them around 8 weeks pp. I get them every few weeks for a few days. Every time I get them I think my period is returning, but it hasn't. I'm almost 18 weeks pp now.

I definitely had this yesterday. Yuck.

I've been having O cramps a lot more PP than I did before PG. I had those and then cramps for over a week before my period. Maybe it was both?

I also had phantom kicks. That was WEIRD.

Me too! What is that about?

Right before Christmas, I was super moody and crampy, I broke out like crazy on my face and I got some light pink spotting so I got all prepared for my period. Then...nothing.

Did you ever POAS just to be sure?

I have had them off and on for the past month. It sucks.

I have had that too, and then...nothing. I even got a supply dip at some point. But then....nothing. I am now just ignoring it. 4 months out and that crap wants to toy with me? Yeah, no.

Right now I am pretty sure I have tummy troubles from all the drugs I had to take. Or my period is returning. I hate the waiting game.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one.  I guess I'll be thankful that AF isn't showing up again.. yet. 

I didn't even think about the possibility of it being an O cramp, thanks Toni!

And yes, I POAS two days ago. hah!

I stopped BF (I was still trying even while he was mostly FF) on 12/22 and had cramps since, along with nausea, dizzyness, headaches and exhaustion. I thought for sure I was joining Rora on S13 board I poas to be sure and I wasn't. Just got my period yesterday.

I am having them right now.  Pretty bad cramps.  I have had my period though my doc said I probably wasn't ovulating yet.  Maybe that's what's finally happening now.  I EBF so not sure.

These cramps kind of remind me of my labor cramps I had the night before giving birth.
