Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

I hope you remember me.. Well here I am again and today it is my 12dpo and CD25/25.. I have been having cramps since last tuesday(almost for a week now). I generally get cramps only on the day or the day before my AF is due.. What should I do? Kindly advice..

I am expecting my periods any time from today. Well archie, if my periods was early by 3 days last time, does it mean that it might be late by 3 days this time.. If so my periods are due only on Thu..

Kindly advice as how long should I wait before I test using HPT.. FYI, I have no other symptoms.. Just the cramps throughout for almost a week and a very very little white discharge every now and then..

Thanks in advance,

I don't have much to offer but to ask you to bear this pain.
If this is in your lower abdomen then it's Ok.
If you don't feel burnign sensation while urination then also it's fine.

Feeling like period is on the way but not showing is natural.

If you have white vaginal discharge then also is normal.

See if your breasts are tender!

let me know tomorrow
Archie archie replied. Dear Bhavana,
I suggest not to read symptoms too closely, they will drive you crazy and is not really nice when one want to get pregnant desperately. Please keep calm for another 4 days at least.

The luteal Phase (post ovulation phage) is usually 15-16 days for most of the people and the shortest is 12 days.

If symptoms; abdominal cramp grows bad but period does not show up by Friday morning then I want you to take test on friday with your first morning urine.

I suggest you to take enough rest and treat well, not to get on heavy duties till this Friday or even weekend in worse case.
