is it possible..

to feel AF symptoms a week before

AF is due on 12/25. I had a mc & d&c 9/27 and prior to that.. I would feel her coming maybe a day or two before she shows.. but this cycle & the last (I think) i feel her days before? or could this be pregnancy symptoms?

p.s. I am actively trying so I am in my 2ww..

pls share your experiences or thoughts..or whatever

thanks!

Re: is it possible..

I think that when you are actively trying, you tend to feel every twinge, pull, cramp etc because you are UBER aware of your body.

Last cycle I just threw my hands up in the air during 2ww and was like, well I did what I could and whatever happens happens and I stopped thinking about it (for the most part) and I didn't feel anything. Didn't even get cranky prior to AF coming which is different for me.

I didn't get cramps till today and today is CD1 for me.

Good luck to you

Retrochick- you are 100% right about this.. I now know when I O and notice CM etc. but this is crazy! I cant take it! i truly hope the MC didnt mess me up and affect my fertility this is my 2nd cycle TTC. all the other times i got preggers.. i did it one time.. no effort no OPK's nothing! and now that I am putting in a little elbow grease.. i cant even get pregnant!

well, good luck on your nxt 2ww

i am hoping that she doesnt come and all the little twinges, dull cramps & everything else that is stirring up in there is a baby and not that b*tch!

Re: is it possible..

It definitely is possible. Before my recent BFP (also ended in mc/had D&C) I used to start feeling AF symptoms almost exactly a week before. I'm hoping my cycle stays the same after the D&C, but I'm sure it could affect it a bit.
