I got my BFP!

[palangi]

Hey everyone - nice to meet you all!

I'm so excited that I got my BFP on Monday.

We've been trying to conceive since May 2008, and other than a miscarriage at 6 weeks last January (2011), we have struggled to conceive.

I was just doing the usual test - not taking much notice of the result since they're ALWAYS negative - and I saw a second line. I whoooped and jumped and screamed and laughed and cried.

Unfortunately, all of the above quickly disappeared, leaving me a paranoid wreck. Every little twinge I get, I think I'm miscarrying again.

I know that I need to stop worrying - but are cramps normal in the first few weeks? (I am only 5 weeks) It feels like I'm going to come on my period.

I hope that you can help to alleviate my worries! Finger's crossed to a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Baby dust to everyone!

hi congrats on your bfp!

i am about a week ahead of you and a few days ago had bad cramping too. really felt like AF pains, everyone reassured me and sure enough they are gone now. From what i gather cramping is normal and actually a postivie sign!

good luck!

Hey thanks for replying!

I went to the doctors yesterday and they gave me a due date of 25th October - when are you due?

It's such a relief to talk to someone else who is experiencing the same symptoms as me - I've never been a worrier until now! lol!

My cramping hasn't been as bad over the past 18 hours, so hopefully it is calming down now, like yours did.

Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Congratulations, Melissa!
I'm due October 25th too. Cramps are a very common symptom in early pregnancy, although I know how after miscarriage those cramps become major worrying points. Happy and Healhty 9 months to you!
