Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi,
I am very frequent silent visitor of this board and learnt a lot from all yours experiences. Thanks and all the best to everybody here.
I am on ttc for past few months but still no luck. My periods are quite regular.
Actually I have got one doubt. I get little cramp in my lower abdomen before my period and even 1-10 days before. My periods are due on 19th but yesterday I had little cramps. So does that mean my periods are going to happen and m not preg. I know I am little confused.
Please help me in clearing my doubt.
Thanks a lot,

i myself too have got my queries cleared before through this site.i have also tried to solve others queries.i got so much help from here.now happily 6weeks pregnant.my advise is dont rely upon these doubtful symptoms.rely upon the best symptom that is missing your period.do a home pregnancy test after one week.in case period still doesnt show repeat after one week.m saying so bcoz cramps also could be due to other reason like may be a gas problem.so i suggest wait to miss ur period as i did.i took my test after 14 days.wish you luck.lots of baby dust:-)

preg and period symp are so similar taht we tend to get confused at times and to confirm u have to wait till u miss ur period
as u r TTC and so am I... we tend to imagine certain symptoms as like real and become so involved and sure that we start thinking taht may be we are preg ..let me tell u last mnth I had all the preg symtoms (like cramps,a little breast tenderness,freq urination ,fatigue etc...) but deep dwn i was aware that im not preg and i eventually got my periods
is this ur 1st preg???? dont read into symtoms too much u might misinterpret is instead be cool and be +ve and continue the good wrk of baby making and u will see the good results
take care and god bless u
