cramping at 3 weeks 5days

[notgivinguphope]

Hello everyone today I am 3 weeks 5days after a successful ivf cycle. But I'm so paranoid after a ectopic and a m/c years ago I can't help but be..well my question is have any of you ever had cramping in early pregnancy? I've read on Google its normal but image still worried I mean its on and off n really UN painful but its there and that's what bothers me. I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance everything is OK. After 6 years ttc I couldn't handle another let down. Thanks in advance ladies

I had tons of cramping. Tons! I did with my first pregnancy also. This is my second. I'm 5 weeks and still have cramping

I'm about as far along as you, maybe a few days past. I've been having some cramping, but I think it's gas related. A friend of mine said she had cramping up until about 6wks with her youngest child.

 Cramping is totally normal. Totally. I can imagine how you feel though, after your losses-Im so so sorry you went through that. I had a MC in december and I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. I read that cramping without bleeding is totally normal and having some spotting without cramping is normal too. It's when the two are together that you might want to get checked out. Keep your chin up and try to keep your stress down if you can-that will make you and baby feel good! Congrats on your pregnancy! :-) :-)

I am now a little over 6 weeks and I had cramping from 2 days before my missed period on up until a little over 5 weeks. And I still get some cramping on and off.

 I had heard it's the uterus expanding even though it's not big enough to need to expansion. My sister-in-law had an ectopic and you would know.s She said out of the blue she had a sharp pain and it hurt really bad.

 I am CD 23 I think 8-10 DPO. Ive been having light cramping off and on for the past 3 days. This morning it was more prominent like I am going to start and it was too the point it was a little uncomfortable. Is this a pregnancy symptom? Did you have this? I don't believe my AF should start until 24th - 27th.

Yes. I had terrible cramps in the first trimester with dd. They were worse than any period cramps I ever had. I was really scared because I had a mc before her, but the doctor reassured me it was normal, just my uterus stretching. She was right. DD was born perfectly healthy and is a happy, active 2.5 year old now.

My doctor told me she would actually be more concerned about a dull, achy pelvic pain in early pregnancy than she would be about cramping (as long as there's not any bleeding).

 Before I took a HPT I had mild annoying cramps for about 2 weeks. took a test and it was positive. I continued to have mild cramping off and on for a while. I am now 12 weeks  along. I read up on it a lot and everything said it was normal! Good luck!!!!
