I'd love to chime in! I'll be 8dpo as of this evening. Starting Monday evening (6dpo), I began having dull cramps and low back pain (which is where I often feel AF cramps). The cramping is mild to moderate...sort of vague and all over at times.
Other times, it feels more like little twinges or
very slight stabbing...and only on one side.
It's off and on but pretty much all day and it's definitely not letting up (if anything, it's becoming more frequent and more noticeable in terms of intensity).
It kind of feels like AF should be coming the next day (except she's not due for almost a week). And the twinges are not what I normally feel in my luteal phase.
Also, today I've started to feel a general heaviness in my pelvis. It's hard to describe, but it's like my uterus is achy and full. I keep trying to loosen my pants because they're uncomfortable.
It feels
exactly how I felt during the 1st trimester w/ DD. With that said, I really don't want to get my hopes up because I actually had similar feelings last month and I had BFNs on 9, 11, and 13 dpo, followed by AF right on time.
I'm trying so hard to ignore it and not look for more symptoms, but it's really tough. My plan has been to test on Sat morning Nov 1st (10-11dpo) but I may break down and test on Halloween night.
DD turned 2 yesterday, so I'm feeling super broody remembering her as a newborn... GL to all of you ladies!!
