Question 1

could i be pregnant with cramping a week before period due?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you're having sex you could possibly be pregnant. Cramping isn't a sign of pregnancy, per se.  If you're worried or concerned you can take a prengnancy test 5 days before period would be due. If negative, consider repeating in 5-7 days if your period doesn't come.

Question 2

i'm having cramping a week before period due. swollen breasts putting weight on fast and craving sweets. could i be pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The symptoms you describe can be associated with pregnancy, they can also be assocaited with normal pre-menstrual symptoms, so the only way to tell is to take a home pregnancy test and see.  If negative, consider repeating in 5-7 days.  Good luck!

Question 3

what could cramping a week before time period is supposed to come mean?. scared last month before period cause thought i was pregnant, but period came

Accepted Answer

Cramping: Cramping is a symptom of Premenstrual syndrome or of infection. It is not in any way a symptom of 'early' pregnancy.

Question 4

Question 5

cramps ovalution. . two weeks before period. . am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Unknown.: Wait for your period first. If it is late by a day take home pregnancy test (90% sensitive). If it is negative and your period is a week late repeat the test (99-100% sensitive). Take 1-5 mg Folic Acid and good luck!

Question 6

normal to have period-like cramps for 2 weeks before period starts? had cramps that long an 4 days late for period. neg hpt. could i still be pregnant

Accepted Answer

Trust the test: A pregnancy test can detect a bhcg of about 20. Your bhcg roughly doubles every 48 hours. Let's say the first day you took it you were barely pregnant with a level of 19. 48 hours later your bhcg would be 38 which is way above the level for a urine pregnancy test to detect it. Home tests work really well and can be trusted. Repeat and if negative then you are not pregnant.

Question 7

can you get pregnant 2 weeks before period? i been cramping very very light on and off. my period isn't until the 28th & i'm feeling like this now ..

Accepted Answer

Yes: Two weeks before your period is the ideal time to get pregnant.  Most woman ovulate about 2 weeks prior to their period.   If your period is late, get a pregnancy test.  Best wishes!

Question 8

had protected sex before fertile window but  it having cramps 2 weeks before period on ovulating week. can i be pregnant? i'm scared

Accepted Answer

If you suspect...: I cannot be certain about the time you refer as your protective window since I would need more information on you about your health and behavior of your menstrual cycle. All I can suggest at this point is that if you suspect you could be pregnant get a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

Question 9

im on trivora.taken it well. i had cramps 2 weeks before period and now i am 1 day late taken 2 pregnancy test.1 5 days early , 1 today both negati why?

Accepted Answer

Not if negative : Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception.   If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. After this much time clearly you are not pregnant. See your doctor for irregular periods.

Question 10

period 4 days late, bad cramping for a week, also had spotting a week before period was due. took 2 tests both negative, am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Time and technique: If you did the test correctly at 4 days after a missed period, you are not likely to be pregnant. You may repeat the test in 4-5 days, unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.
