back cramps and AF like symptoms

So, I love the fact that I'm pregnant...about 5-6 weeks right now and I want to remain positive.  But this low back cramp and period like cramping is driving me nuts. Does anyone else feel like they are getting their period any second??

    I am having the same pains, I took 3 home test and there all positive. I called the dr. and they said everything is normal, so dont worry. :) Stay positive

    I have had "cramps" for the past three days, just got my BFP yesterday.  I asked the DR and he said they are just "growing pains" and as long as there isn't any major bleeding I shouldn't worry.

    I started feeling that way last night and all this morning and then about 11 this morning I started spotting - it's brownish to light pinkish, but I am still so worried! Left a message with the Dr. and trying to patiently wait to get a call back...

    Everything I read online says it happens to alot of people, so hopefully it's normal and will go away shortly... I hate this! (the spotting and uncomfortableness.. not the pregnant part!!!!)

    So It seems like a lot of Pregnant woman in their 5th week are having that cramping. Thank goodness, I thought I was alone with the pain. I'm having a lot of trouble getting in and out of my truck from the pain in my back. What are you guys doing for the pain?

    Honestly I am on the same boat, I have trouble getting into the car and getting out. :( But I am not taking anything I am so scared too. Have you?

    I've been taking tylenol and it helps. I also do yoga and i feel like the cramps and back ache feel better afterwards. Any kind of exercise is helping too. Glad we're all feeling the same! I don't want to be calling my doc every day! I've had many friends tell me to expect spotting, that it happens more than not, but still I don't want it!!

    Me either, I'm too scared to take stuff right. Plus all these prenatal vitamins and progesterone (sp?) she has me I couldn't possibly swallow another bugger down. As far as the pain goes I try to stretch a lot and that seems to help. if not then I go lay down for a bit and try it again. My doctor said walking is key in pregnancy and to try to keep at it. Just wish there wasn't so much snow on the floor. grr.
