I had the same cramping right before I took the test that told me I was pregnant with my first child. I told a friend that I had cramping and was pregnant and she too had these symptoms...come to find out she was pregnant too!! I think I remember the doctor explaining to me that the cramping is the egg settling. Good luck and best wishes to you and your family!

The cramping could be an embryo implanting. I felt that when I got pregnant.

I totally agree with what Cindy S. (below) said about the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." I read it while trying to get pregnant with my first child, and for the first time in my life, I finally understood my monthly cycles. It is such a good resource for every women, those trying to get pregnant or those trying to prevent pregnancy. As for being able to find out if you are pregnant this early, I don't know if any of the "signs" you mentioned can be reliable indicators at this point- I too spent several months anticipating "Could my tender breasts mean I'm pregnant," etc. You can drive yourself half crazy with this. I say, just take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the anticipation. Good Luck, and hopefully in 2 weeks congratulations will be in order!

Hi M.,
I took a pregnancy test when I started having morning sickness and I noticed my breasts were feeling bigger. The test said positive, and when I went to the doctor they determined I was 7 weeks along (that was about 1 week after I took the home test). Maybe you can tell around 5-6 weeks.

I had similar symptoms as early as two weeks with my first pregnancy. I highly recommend “Taking Charge of Your Fertility.” It will teach you all of the signs, including monitoring your temperature. If you are pregnant your temperature rises and does not go down.
Good luck!

I had quite a bit of cramping, also the veins in my breasts were very dark blue or purple and they were very tender. I was very tired too.

There are many signs without doing the test. Pants are getting tighter, nausea, morning sickness, and growing a belly. My first two pregnancies I had no signs. Just a belly, and chest getting bigger. I know the mood swings kick in after a while. Even the urge of wanting to eat, some people don't get that til later. Its never too early to take a test, there are many different types of tests that are useful.

With my first pregnancy I knew right away I was pregnant. With this one (I'm 16 weeks) I didn't think I was pregnant because I didn't have any early symptoms. I was surprised when the test was positive. I think every pregnancy is different. Best wishes!

haha, the minute I get pregnant my nose stuffs up, and it doesn't come unstuffed until I give birth. I was So clogged up and was also feeling a tad weird, so thought I had either allergies or the flu. First time I ever went in for allergy testing, my doc routinely asked "Is there any chance you might be pregnant?" and i had to say yes, so before doc prescribed anything for allergies he ran a pregnancy test and... well, hello there, little feller! I never got acute morning sickness... I felt queasy 24 hours a day for my first trimester, but only threw up once. (I suggest you avoid clam dip, from dire experience). And don't forget to start your prenatal multivitamins before you conceive, to give your new passenger the best possible start into life.

If you have a regular 28-day cycle, you'll probably have fairly regular ovulation about halfway between - at about 2 weeks. If your cycle isn't really regular, there are still ways to tell. Ask your ob-gyn - you can check the consistency of your vaginal mucus, plot changes in body temperature, etc. Also look at a book like "our bodies, ourselves" that explains the whole process. I usually get a pain in my ovary at ovulation - for some reason they call it "middelschmerz". Sounds like something you'd find on the bottom of your shoe. Interestingly, my left ovary hurts a lot more than my right ovary. I can usually tell which barrel I'm firing on.

good luck with your new baby!
sincerely
A.
