Question about cramping during LP...

[phatchristy]

I've been having cramps now for about 4 days. Off and on occaisonal achy cramps. As far as I know aunt flo should be coming any day now (have not been keeping track as breastfeeding exclusively and I didn't think it was exactly regular--my guess is Tues-Wed. This seems like an excessive amount of cramping, and I'm worried because we had a condom accident about a week ago.

I know I've had some cramping before having my period before, but I wonder how common this is. Because I've also had quite a bit of cramping when I've becoming pregnant and for the first 1-2 weeks after learning that knowledge.

Right now cervix is firm/low/open with creamy cm. Thoughts?

I'm pretty freaked out about being possibly pregnant.

If it makes you feel any better, I was in your shoes last cycle. It was a 70 day cycle and I was convinced I was preggers around CD50-60. All of the cramping without resulting in AF, swelling, emotional, other symptoms that I barely remember now too. My temps were still random though, they'd spike then fall and were everywhere. AF did come, and this cycle's been back to normal more or less.

It's hard but try not to worry, on one hand you could be preggers, on the other your body could be throwing you a curve ball. Que sera, sera!

And an appropriate time for one of my favourite quotes: Don't get your knickers in a knot. Nothing is solved and it just makes you walk funny!

Try not to sway too far one way or the other until you know for sure. And really, whatever the outcome, it will be the right one.

Yep, I agree.

In this case, I'm happy to say I had 2 MORE days of cramps and then aunt flo decided to finally rear her head today. Pretty much as I'd predicted amazingly!!!
