Cramps...starting to lose hope already..

I just got my BFP yesterday. About 30 minutes ago I started having af type cramps and they haven't subsided. They hurt enough that I would love to take a tylonol or something. I am dreading the next time I have to pee. Just have this bad feeling... Jessica

    Hello! I am only just past 3 weeks along, and I've been having killer cramps also. From what everyone else has posted, it's pretty normal and nothing to be too concerned about. GL!

    I had AF like cramps the day AF was due and a small amount of brown spotting.  It only lasted the one day, but I was super nervous.  Hang in there, but I know the wait is a bummer.

    Don't worry just yet!  I had lots of cramping around my BFP.  It went away around week 5.

    Can you take anything? Is tylonol safe? Thanks! Jessica

    Yes, you can take tylenol.

    Don't panic.  Cramps are very common.  Yesterday I felt like I was about to get my period.

    I could have written this exact post a couple of weeks ago. I was convinced the end was near and it was totally messing with my head.

    Drink a TON of water.  Many people, including my OB, recommended this and for whatever reason it works.  Whether it helps with your uterus stretching or the increased blood flow, it works.  (You wouldn't believe the amount of water I've been drinking lately.)

    I believe you are fine... I am 5 weeks and 6 days and for about 4 days I had the worst cramps but they have subsided yesterday and today so I feel much better about it... I have blown google up with question myself and they all say NORMAL!

    I've been having bad cramps as well and everytime I go to the bathroom I pray that I'm not spotting. But from what I have read, cramps are normal in early pregnancy :)

    Think positively. When I was 3 and 4 weeks along, I had achy cramps all the time.

    I've been cramping on and off also.  I was told it is nothing to worry about!
