Do cramps mean no baby?

Kristabell24 · August 2008

Hello. This is my first post. We have been trying to conceive the past month. My period is expected Sunday and i am feeling cramps today. Did any of you preggo girls have cramps and still end up pregnant?

margarita1365 · August 2008

Yes, it can happen.

Mrs.C042807 · August 2008

Damnit. And I have to leave.

FYI:
#1 Preggo is a term not liked around here.
#2 Pregnancy symptoms mimic PMS.

::busts out the flame throwers:: I had no idea that cramps and spaghetti sauce had anything to do with each other.

Jessimurph · August 2008

Try 1st tri. They will give you a more informed answer if that's what you're looking for.

How do you know for sure that your period is "expected" on Sunday? Do you temp/chart at all? Do you know what Google is? Do you know anything about how the female body or reproduction works?

You make my head hurt for so many reasons. Though your post gave me a good laugh so thanks for that I guess.

lglastorl · August 2008

No.

Prego gives me heartburn.

Don't delete this post or "they" will find you.

GL!

Cinderella28 · August 2008

This is a board that requires a little education in order to ask questions.

armandos_girl · August 2008

Actually they did answer your questions. It just wasn't an answer you liked.

BlairWaldorf · August 2008

It's okay, my friends like prego too

That's why I'm making it for dinner & having them all over!

Cramps don't mean anything one way or another. Many women experience cramps in advance of and during their period. Likewise, many women experience cramping from the time of implantation onwards (6-10 days past ovulation). Most women will cramp in pregnancy as the uterus begins stretching to accomodate the growing baby.

You won't know whether or not cramps are related to pregnancy or a period until you either get a positive home pregnancy test or your period.

I have a few tips for you:

1. It is always a good idea to lurk before posting.
2. Using proper grammar/spelling/capitalization/punctuation will take you far in life.
3. It is not wise to question BOTB's validity/motives. It will e-throat punch you.

I know my period is expected sunday because i get my period every 28 days. duh

BlairWaldorf · August 2008

Let me guess -- you got you period every 28 days when you were on bcp previously?

You don't say!!

madameprimm · August 2008

I know my period is expected sunday because i get my period every 28 days. duh

Oh burn! Seriously, how old are you? Though I suppose it would be fitting that you would have "perfect" cycles. I'm sure you'll be KTFU by tomorrow.

Kristabell24 · August 2008

26. Sorry my ? has caused all of this. I was just curious if anyone else had experienced cramps and then ended up pregnant. excuse me.

BlairWaldorf · August 2008

But were you referring to a 28-day cycle on birth control? Just curious

madameprimm · August 2008

Is it that fuucking difficult to type out the word "question" and capitalize your sentences? You could have saved yourself "all of this" if you just googled it.

easjer05 · August 2008

The thing is - even if you normally get your period every X number of days - it has no bearing on your current cycle.

For example, from my own ttc cycles:

Cycle -1: Anovulatory, started bleeding on cd 25, which was 7-14 days 'early' for me.

Cycle 1: Ovulated on cd 22, lp of 12 days = 34 day cycle.
Cycle 2: Ovulated on cd 22, lp of 11 days = 33 day cycle (1 day early)
Cycle 3 (ongoing): have not ovulated as of cd 23 = no less than a 35 day cycle.

See - there are lots of factors that influence cycles. When you ovulate, how long your lp is, whether or not you are affected by medical conditions or stress.

Kristabell24 · August 2008

No, I used to be on birth control but have been off since January. So....i get my period one day and 28 days later i get it again and so on and so on. Why is this so surprising? I thought many woman have consistent periods. 28, 29 and 30 days apart?

Mrs.C042807 · August 2008

My periods are consistently 35-55 days apart. Doesn't that happen to everyone?

Cinderella28 · August 2008

Krista I strongly advise you to lurk here for a while and figure out somethings. And get a book. If you are TTC you should really learn about what to expect.

CarrieLiz · August 2008

Proof that taking Health class in high school is a waste. If you want to learn more about your body pick up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. You will thank me, really.

Cramps can mean anything from pregnant, your period, dehydration or a big fart. So yes, some PREGNANT (not preggo) women have had cramps.

madameprimm · August 2008

The shortest cycle I've had this year was 36 days, and as you can see from my chart I'm on day 52 of my current cycle. A lot of women actually don't have "normal" or "regular" cycles. It would do you good to get a little more educated about your body.

traceandrob · August 2008

This is funny as a new nestie : )

Pesky · August 2008

Yes. Like pps said, many PMS symptoms mirror pg symptoms. Hence the need to POAS to tell. GL to you!!
