Common Questions and Answers about Menstrual cramps vs pregnancy
menstrual-cycle
I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramps that feel like menstrual cramps. I don't have any spotting or anything but it feels like menstrual cramps.. should I be worried? I'm 18 and this is my first pregnancy.
Was asked the other day how to tell if you're dealing with a cyst vs early pregnancy. Symptoms seem pretty similar to me from a quick read and I've heard that a cyst can actually screw up a urine pregnancy test (false positive).
Anybody have any insight on this one? Are there any indicators (other than ultrasound), that would show a cyst is likely/unlikely?
Do contractions ever feel like period cramps? I've been having cramps and low back pain off and on all day could it be small contractions?
Within that week the symptons that I been experiencing were bloating, sore breast and back aches. I recently been experiencing menstrual cramps off and on for three days. Is the menstrual cramps a sign of pregnacy? I am due to take my blood test June 10th 2008. I am praying that this will work. In the beginning, I was kind of disappointed that only one egg fertilized but when I found out that I had a healthy embryo it restored my hope.
When I got pregnant, I kept getting menstrual cramps right around the time I was supposed to start my period and after it was late. It felt like I would start literally any minute and like you, I kept feeling wet and running to the bathroom to check. So it's definitely an indication but not a sure thing. You should take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning like clysta said. Good luck!!
s the process of implantation (where the baby attaches to the uterus wall). It is commonly confused with a menstrual cycle because some women experience cramps, but it's usually a lot lighter (like spotting) and somewhat shorter (for some) and usually happens 6-12 days after conception. (this is why a woman is advised to wait atleast 14 days to take a home pregnancy test). Any other bleeding during pregnancy can be a variety of complications or reasons.
To me, they didn't feel any different. I was prepared for disappointment because I thought my period was about to come. I don't think every woman feels cramping during implantation, just like every woman does not experience spotting.
Its my first pregnancy and I've also been having those weird menstrual like cramps, I was reading that drinking (even) more water helps. Nice to know I'm not alone on this I was starting to worry.
Has anyone experienced menstrual like cramps early in pregnancy? I am almost 6 weeks and have off and on menstrual like cramps anywhere from my sides to my pelvic area. I had an ovarian cyst rupture recently so I was told the pain in my side came from the fluid left around my ovaries and that it would take care of itself. It has been 11 days since the cyst ruptured but I still occasionally have pain.
why am i cramping so bad? I have menstrual like cramps al day long, no bleeding though. Went to the er and they did nothing told me to call my doctor! I just left my docs and saw a np not my doc who tells me i am listed as a threatened abortion in my charts. Why was i not told of this? Why did she not pull my blood or check on my cervix or even do a ultrasound to make sure the fetus is developing okay? I feel like a guinea pig waiting for a bad outcome.
