Bad AF cramps at 8dp2t

[Raji]

From the morning itself i am having severe pre AF cramps like pelvic pain, leg cramps and lower back ache. Only the sore bbs has to torture me yet. And also i am taking progestrone suppliments thrice a day. My AF due date is only on Mar 7 and my beta date is on Mar 9.So, I am wondering why these AF cramps is coming so early with venganence? I am very disappointed about these cramps which is not a good symptoms for this cycle. I am really fed up with all our failure attempts to beat IF. I am feeling very down and not very hopeful of the bata day. I have left everything in God's hands. I am preparing my mind now itself to accept any result which comes.
Pls pray for me

Cramps are not necessarily a bad sign. Some women get cramps in a BFP cycle, some get cramps in a BFN cycle and some don't get cramps at all. I wouldn't make too much of it. It could go either way.

For my ONLY successful cycle I had cramps so bad around 8dp3dt that I almost stayed home from work.

I think cramps are a GOOD sign!!

Hang in there,

With my successful cycle, on 7dp3dt I had all the AF signs you mention, except the sore boobs too. I even had a teeny weeny bit of spotting. (The only way I know is I had been wiping hard atleast 20 times a day!!). DH was travelling and I actually called him to say it was all over and time to think of how to find closure to the whole issue. (this would have been our last attempt). I kept up with the progesterone, and waited for more spotting but AF. Nothing. The day AF was due I couldnt stand it anymore and requested my beta to be advanced. And lo and behold - BFP. Believe me until the beta I felt completely like AF was coming.
Sorry to be long winded but my advice is keep up with the progesterone very religiously. I have a good feeling about this

Raji, You and I are in the same boat.

I'm having them as well and the old hag is due the 7th and as you know my beta is also the 9th. So we are in this together. I'm trying soooo hard to just remain positive and not read anything into this. Their not sever but they are there. Cramping is not a bad thing. I've been on this bb to long to know that. So that's what keeps me sain.

Try to Hang in There Sweetie. All we can do is together.

Raji,
Do you have an update? I have had a lot of AF cramping and I am almost 7wks pg. They aren't bad enough for me to stay home from work but bad enough that I go to the bathroom and check as often as I can.
Good Luck to you. Try not to stress.
