New and Nervous!

Hi ladies. I'm pregnant!!.... I think. I took 2 tests that were positive. I had what felt like the craps I get right before my period and I've been feeling off for a few days. I've tried to figure out how far along I am but I'm having a hard time. This past period happens to be the only one in 6 months that I didnt mark the date on the calendar. Now I cant remember when it was - just that it was around the last week of January, very beginning of February.  I called my doctor and have an appointment to take another test with a nurse next Tuesday. I will be freaking out until then.

Would it be possible to feel a whole day of cramping after only being pregnant for a couple days? Could I have really gotten pregnant RIGHT after my last cycle ended and be in 4 weeks now? So many questions. The hard part is knowing my appointment on Tuesday is just to verify 100% that I am in fact pregnant. I have to wait another month before I can go in for a real exam, right? AH!

Anyways, I'm glad to be a part of this community now and to talk to people who may be going through the same thing!

    Hi! Thanks for responding. The length of my cycle was always in between 24-30 days. I'm so mad at myself for not marking when my last cycle actually started. I took an ovulation test last week and it indicated that I would ovulate in 24-48 hours.. but that would mean I am only a week pregnant..? It's confusing... It's hard not knowing what exactly is going on inside your body.

    My past period also started the end of January time frame. and from what I've read I'm 5 weeks. crazy but every article I've seen (mostly on the american pregnancy website) says the first 2 weeks counted you aren't actually pregnant so technically when they say you could deliver at 40 weeks the baby is 38 but you are pregnant for 40...clear as mud right? 

    I also have slight cramping but it doesn't last for more than a minute if that. The rule of thumb I followed before the blood test is that if I didn't have my period I was pregnant :)
