I am about 5.5 weeks and this is my fourth pregnancy with only only two successful so far. I have had severe lower back pain and light brown discharge pretty much since about 1.5 week ago. The doctor didn't seemed to freak out so I assumed that it ws normal. I had a HCG test done on friday and they were really good but with my history the put me on progesterone anyways. After reading all of these entries it has made me feel so much better and I pray that each and everyone of you will have a successful preganacy and a beautiful child at the end.

I have had to miscarriages. The last one was awful. We were at 11 weeks and were told that the fetus stopped growing around 9 weeks. After I had the DNC done I told myself I would never get pregnant again. I am about 6 weeks and have mild lower stomach cramps. No bleeding though. The doctor also is treating it mildly. I am scared he says if a miscarriage is going to happen there is nothing you can do to stop it. I have a doctors appt on aug. 17th. Seems so far away. I wish everyone the best and will pray for each of you every night. God Bless!

I am about 4 days late, I have had mild cramps for the last week, could I be pregnant

I am practically in tears due to the relief I feel after reading your posts. My dh and I just started trying to get pregnant this last month. I'm now on my second day late for my period, and have just had a very small amount of very watered-down brown discharge. It's Tuesday and since Friday I've had a pain in my lower left abdomen. I have chronic Irritable Bowel Syndrome so it feels similar to a constant gas pain down there. I've also been constipated (most likely due to the prenatal vitamins). I know that the pain could be due to ectopic pregnancy but, after reading these posts, I'm not going to worry unnecessarily. I'm going to buy a PG test after work today and take it and see what happens. I am so glad, though, that I don't have to automatically ASSUME that this is something bad!!! Trying to get pregnant, wondering if you're pregnant, trying to get through the first trimester, etc.-- it all seems like such a lonely place. Thanks for posting-- I don't feel so alone.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences, I feel much better. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and have experienced some cramping, like i needed to go to the toilet and today I had a slight brown discharge. I went to the nearest hospital and the doctor advised that I rest and should the bleeding increase or the cramps return, that I should go back to the hospital immediately. She also booked me for a scan tomorrow so hopefully that will go well. May God take care of us and our unborn babies and my prayer tonight will be that we will all be blessed with healthy babies. Thank you all

I am 5 weeks today and have had minor cramps since last week. I had a 6 week miscarriage 3 months ago, so this time I am really skeptical about it all since I had cramps then too. Fortunatelly I see a lot of you are experiencing the same thing.

It is my 26th day, I have spotting on 19th day, which was very negligible. Today I am having pain in my stomach, abdomen and legs are heavy as I normally feel when nearing the menstural cycle. My concern is still can I wait for pregnacy this month, or is it out of hope. I have done the HCG test and it is negative, I am very worried. Any help



ali - August 16th, 2004 2:12 PM

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have had really bad cramps on and off since finding out pregnant. I haven't experienced any bleeding though. I was really worried and scared but after reading this site I feel much happier. Just hoping they go away soon. My husband won't let me do anything around the house which is driving me crazy!


scared 15 yr old - August 18th, 2004 12:05 AM

i dont have an answer. i need an answer!!! i have just had drunken unprotected sex and its been one week since conception. i am ovulating... but i am having wild stomache cramps, backpains, like im having my period. but ive skipped my period?? HELP


Julie M. - August 18th, 2004 3:12 PM

This is to "scared 15 yr old": Take a deep breath. Go buy a pregnancy test, and take it. If the test is positive, you must see a doctor. Talk to your mom, an older sister, or some other adult whom you can trust. Then, think about your options. If you don't feel that you can raise a child, then please consider adoption. There are many people who would love to have a child of their own, but can't (a friend of mine is one; she adopted a boy from a girl who was 14 & the father was 17). Trust in God to know that He will only give you no more than you can handle, & He has a plan for you. Come back to the board, & let us know what happens.

I as well am 5 weeks pregnant. For the past 2 days I have experienced sharp pains. On the lower left side. I am not sure if this is normal. It doesnt happen often... but was worried as it doesnt feel like normal cramping.
