Sounds like we both need to see the doc. I have had similar cramps/ dull aches in my side and lower back...I think mine is a cyst...don't wait too long to get yourself checked out.

Hi, I am due to have my period in two days (monday sept.6) I really feel like I am pregnant, any idea if I should do a pregnancy test now or will it not show up this early? Any suggestions, I am trying for a baby and me and my husband are anxious...

i also had cramps in my lower abdomen and actually passed out they were so bad so my doctor sent me to the hospital (they thought it was etopic) then i had to endure an internal scan only to be told by the midwife that there was no baby can you imagine what i was going thought then the doctor arrived and done the scan again and thankfully she found the baby they still havent give an explaination for the cramps but i wont complain atleast my baby is ok

I have noticed some people mentioning having a light brownish discharge. I would like to note that I hope that anyone who has these symptoms PLEASE go get checked out by your doctor. I looked at sites like these to ease my panic back in June. I was 8 weeks pregnant and having brownish discharge. Then slight cramping came. AFter a long time in the ER (due to holidays) we found out it was a blighted ovum. Brownish discharge and then cramping are an indicator of blighted ovum. So PLEASE go get checked out. If nothing else, to know for absolute sure and to resolute the panic and the "not-knowing". Love to you all and my best hopes for your pregnancy.

i can kiss u all,i just found out im pregnant 5 weeks almost 6.and i had some spotting before finding out i was pregnant,so i thought its not happening,was so dissapointed until i didnt get my full period and got a blood test done saying im pregnant,i was so happy,then i started having very bad crampsand lower back pain,im researched on the internet and allot of sites said that a sign of miscarriage is cramping like pain and lower back pain accompanied by spotting or period,but i overlooked the accompanied by period and was stressing myself out so much these past few days...called my doc and he said its normal during pregnancy so relax,this is the first site iv seen thats gave me some positiveness,coz it looks like im not the only one going through this,its good to no, my mind is definatly at peace...now all im worrying about is my baby must have a heartbeat...so im crossing my fingers for that....thanks guys url took a big weight of my shoulders...

I am 9 weeks pregnant , 2 days back i also found a small amount of vaginal discharge brown in colour. I was scared at first but then i thought i would wait for some time before calling on my doctor.After that there was nothing. Now after reading all your experience i am happy to find that this is something normal .Thanks a lot.

I've had cramps in my lower abdomin since I found out I was preg.I had these same cramps with my first child.They are scary because no one tells you to expect them and anything painful down there we've heard is a BAD thing.My nurse told me they we're your uterine streching.If you see blood and it last more than 2 days or it's heavy call a doc just to be safe.Good Luck everyone!


ASHLEY HATFIELD - September 14th, 2004 6:41 PM

YES, I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOW STOMACH CRAMPS RIGHT BY MY OVARIES BUT I START IN 1 WEEK AND NO BACK PROBLEMS AND A LITTLE BREAST PROBLEMS ON THE SIDE WHAT DOES THESE MEAN


cgirl - September 15th, 2004 3:14 PM

i am about 4to5 weeks preg. i am really scared that i am having a miscarriage. i've been cramping and experienced some bleeding. i know u can bleed when your uterus is streching and the baby is implanting but when should you become alarmed. please help. what are the signs?????????????


maryruth - September 15th, 2004 8:43 PM

iam 6 week ans also have cramping
this is so releaving iam please as
punch and fell so much better now good luck to all


camille - September 19th, 2004 6:21 AM

im 8 weeks now and i've had 2 ultrasounds and everything is fine the baby has a strong heartbeat, they did the transvaginal ultrasound and days later i would spot brown with slight cramping so everyone dont worry anything can trigger spotting with my daughter that shes now 3 everytime hubby and me would have sex i would bleed...girls your cervix is very fragile now so if your having sex it could trigger bleeding when a dr examines you, you can also spot...good luck to everyone.


Bean - September 20th, 2004 4:14 PM

It's only been about 2 weeks since possible conception but i've had cramps in my lower left abdomin for a few days now. I'm very sleepy and have had headaches everyday. Is it to early to feel these things if I am pregnant. Wishful thinkg maybe...Going to the dr tomorrow. if anyway can taell me how early they felt cramping that would help.
