So nervous 13 dpo need advice

[HopefulMarla]

Hey!

I was just wondering if anyone has had af type cramps at 13dpo and still went on to get their BFP?! I had had a lot of symptoms, but I know that really doesn't mean anything. I really really felt that this was my month. But now I am having mild af cramps, and am getting nervous. I am trying to wait until a few days after missed period to test at all. Any advice ladies?

Hey, just wondering how you went. I am 13 do and am getting mild cramps on and off. I am usually spotting at this point in my cycle and only just began charting my bbt for the first time this cycle and using opks. Fertility friend is not sure when I ov but guessed rather late in my cycle for me and I must have missed the LH surge with the opks as I never got a full on positive so I am assuming I am 13dpo in my usual 28day cycle (which sometimes ranges up to 30 days). My temp dropped this morning below my coverline making me think af is on her wwy but still nothing yet.
I also don't want to test until after AF is due as last cycle I was really excited with it being our first cycle ttc #1 and got a bfn then thought oh I could still be in as I tested too early, then the witch showed up 4 days early. I don't want to put myself through that waiting for the test result when it can still be too early to tell. Now I am just getting nervous and symptom spotting as AF due date approaches haha I have been so good this cycle too. to you!

Yep it's the weirdest feeling, like you are fighting the signs and trying to put them down to other things. It's hard when AF signs are possible BFP signs too and all you can do is wait... And try not to think about it. Sticky

So I thought I would update. I assumed I was 14dpo today (FF thinks only 8 but we didn't BD around FF's assumed O date so I must be right). So I was happy I lasted the 2WW and tested this morning and got a definite using FRER and FMU! Then I read online about the cramping and it says that it could be a sign your uterus is expanding and stretching in preparation for pregnancy. It still makes me nervous though because all I have ever known is this to be related to AF... FX!

congrats hun. ive been cramping alot so hoping for a one question did u cramp from the start of tww or towards the end?

Thanks! I started noticing cramping around 11DPO. Apparently it is your uterus stretching and expanding in prep for a growing baby (so I read) so it kinda makes sense as I suppose by that time the egg has implanted and burrowed in enough for the HCG to kick in and start sending my body to do weird things lol. I had tender breasts since I Od and started having vivid dreams at about 8 DPO.

I am still getting light cramps every now and again - it scares me but not seeing any blood is what calms me down

 

[pipsbabybean]

Thanks for replying hun, I've had the most vivid dreams to hun, stil crampy but I'm not due to test really for another week if I can't hold off x

 

[Mrs Jellybean]

That's OK - I actually think I had some even before 11DPO because I remember thinking to myself "it's way too early for AF to be showing signs" and tried to shrug it off but as the days went by I thought "hmmm now AF is due closer so it could be for that" lol

Hehe so happy for u, can I ask wat ur cm was like hun? I was dry but today it's very white lotion x

 

[Mrs Jellybean]

I felt 'wet' but was always dry then turned creamy white towards the end of the 2ww.

Huge congrats jelly bean on your BFP!! So good to read you had AF cramps just before u tested positive. I think I'm out this month *sigh* I noticed a tiny bit of spotting today - I had some yesterday too but today AF type cramps full on. I keep running to the toilet to check as am positive AF will show. Im DPO 13 (ish) The only thing different from other months is my nipples are so so so tingly over the last few days like it was in my first pregnancy but other than that just feels like I'm waiting for her to show xx

Hello!
I had some cramping this month, on 11DPO, 12dpo & today - 13 DPO. AF was due on 10DPO, didn't show & today I got a BFP. So cramping doesn't mean you are out. My cramping was mainly in morning & only fir about 30min at a time.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks hun
Did u test early and get bfn then ur bfp ? X

 

[Mrs Jellybean]

Nope I tested first on 14dpo which was day AF was due. It came up pretty quick as a BFP - I couldn't believe it, I thought I was seeing things haha then it got gradually darker but didn't end up as strong as the control line.
Had my 1st BETA yesterday and get results tomorrow night after work so I am nervous but equally as excited to have it confirmed and levels tested to find out dates then we can actually start to let it all sink in and start planning on our next steps. This is our first so we have no idea. Dr said I will need another BETA later on to test the levels are increasing correctly and baby is growing. I think that will be the *sink in moment* hahahaha
