Cramps in early pregnancy?

June 29, 2008

Hello ladies - I was wondering if anyone exprienced slight cramps (similiar to period) on and off during 4/5/6 weeks? Is this normal?

June 29, 2008

hi yourgirl and congrats....yes that is very normal to have during this time. If you feel like it is getting worse contact your dr and also if there is spotting along with the cramping contact your dr. @@@stickyglue@@@

Thanks angelfish. It does not feel severe, kind of like a dull ache now and then.

Oh - how long did the cramping and aching last for you in early pregnancy?

yourgirl- I am having the same thing right now! its been going on since 3.5 weeks (before I knew I was pregs!) until now, which is 5.5 weeks...it makes me so nervous, but everyone tells me its normal! :)

babyquestions - i am glad to see that others are experiencing my symptoms. Have you seen the dr yet? My u/s is scheudled for 7.5 weeks so i have a way to go and super nervous. I have also been experiencing tiredness, difficult time sleeping and getting comfortable and my appetitate is not what it used to be. No morning sickness yet - what boabout you?

June 29, 2008

your girl- i am tired sometimes, but i don't know if am letting myself be more tired or if i really am!? And my appitite is not the same either, but i'm not sick yet, just picky! :)

I go for my u/s on 7/7, which will be 6 wks, 4 days...hopefully we see the heartbeat! :) I have had my hcg bloodtests done and they were good.

The doc said that the cramps are totally normal if there is no bleeding! (and sometimes bleeding isn't bad, but definitely call the doc if there is bleeding)

i posted a question on friday b/c i had a question about my progesterone... last monday it was 33 and on thursday it was 22. My HCG went from 459 to 2300 hcg. The nurse from my RE"s office said that progesterone can fluctuate and so did Dr. Q - although I am going to go get it tested this week. have you heard of progesterone fluctuating?

June 29, 2008

YES! mine went from 32 to 21 to 20...and i was a nervous! but my doctor says that it doesn't matter as long as its in the normal zone! :)

June 29, 2008

your girl- how far along are you? we seem to be very similar!

June 29, 2008

June 29, 2008
