Cramps in the 2ww?!?

I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle because of poor BD timing and giving up on the hope of ever Oing!! (beating my head against a wall right now)

However, I am having pretty bad cramps right now and feeling like AF is coming any minute! I'm only 7 dpo. . .is this normal?

For me cramps is normal befor Oing, after Oing and in the 2ww. So just hang in there. They can be pretty heavy cramps, so have ea and lots of water - helps with me.

That's how I felt the whole time before I got my BFP. Until AF comes, or it's been a little longer and you still get BFN, you don't really know.

Sorry you're feeling bad. I've been having constant dull cramping/pulling sensation since Friday, if it makes you feel any better.

I think I'm Oing with a vengeance since it took so long!

So are you 'late'? I noticed your last cycle was 2-27.

Actually my last cycle before this one was 12/11/07 and this one started in Feb. due to Provera. I've recently had blood work done because of the whacky schedules which are very unlike me! So, I guess I can't really say I'm late, just wanted to know that there is something more I should be looking at. I hope the cramping means good things for you

Cramps are pretty normal for me, too, but for some people, cramps can be a good sign. My recommendation - try to ignore them for now and not let it get you excited . . . this process is so hard if everything gets your hopes up (unless, of course, you get that

).

I was thinking the same thing. This month I am having them pretty bad at 8-9dpo. This has happened before though and it didn't end in a

Hopefully this time it will!

I am definitely not trying to look into it,

is way too disappointing. Plus like I said Bd timing was not good at all!! DH has taken an odd fascination with my chart lately and with my temp going up today, he wants to get excited. I told him it's not allowed! I would rather just go about things normally

Katrina, I hope it is a good sign for you! When do you plan on testing?

Hmmm... good question. I'm the type that always talks people into POAS every second of the day but I get so scared. I will wait until 12dpo and see what my temps are doing. If they are moving downward I have a sneaking suspicion I won't pee on 1 test this month. I am just sick of

's. Like.... seriously. I'm sick of it. I'm boycotting POAS for myself this month.

However, if my temps are climbing or holding steady, I may be tempted to POAS 12 or 13dpo which would be Thursday or Friday this week. We'll see what happens.

For some reason I have been super calm about TTC this month. I almost don't care. I had a glass of wine and I actually smoked a cigar last night. I worked out this month and decided I wasn't going to worry about "exerting myself too much". I figure if this baby comes around, it's going to come around on a schedule of me just living my life until it pops out and takes over everything. That might not be the best attitude, but it's the one I have this month.

I am just trying to not obsess and have faith that it will happen when God wills it to happen and by doing that I may be overcompensating a bit.

We'll see what happens. I'll be stalking you. BTW- Did you get my email last night?
