Ok so I just found out I was pregnant, in my very first week of pregnancy. But, today is the day i'd be due my period, as I found out I was pregnant by using the first response test. So that said I was pregnant, but today, i'm having quite bad cramps that I am 99% sure feel like period pains. What's going on?!

by the time your period is due you are technically 4 weeks.
You count from the first day of your last period.

Gestationally you would be 2 weeks (time since ovulation).

Cramps that feel like your period is about to begin are perfectly normal at this stage.

Ususally even when preggo, you will get period like cramps around your usual menstrual time. And all throughout pregancy too.

If you start bleeding or cramping heavily then go to the er.

Good luck!!

she's misunderstanding and thinking this is her first week.
She posted either yesterday or today about taking the test and getting two lines but one was faint.

Ok...
Thank you, i'm feel a bit better but these are really painful, it feels so much like period cramping.

Oh and yes, I found out yesterday using the test that detects the pregnancy hormone even before a missed period.

So, it's normal? I am pregnant and this is why? Implantation? But why so early, like the day my period is due type early? Crying or Very sad Sad

no, implantation has already happened for you to get a positive pregnancy test.

because, that's what our bodies do.
Typically you will get period like cramps when your periods is due but you are pregnant.

The line is faint because it is so early.
There isn't much hcg in your urine.
Test again in a couple days with your first morning wee and watch that line get much darker.

I will say this though, if the pains get worse and/or are to one side then you should contact your dcotor. Also if you have any heavy or bright red bleeding as these can be warning signs

Then during the night I wasnt able to sleep, it sub sided a little since then, I been getting headaches and even though I sleep, except last few nights bathroom all night a day I feel tired as heck.... Just day before yesterday I started bleeding , my friend says I am spotting it subsides to small amount now, barley noticable if not wear a pad.... I went to doctors yesterday aand am waiting on a responsible.... God I am soo worryed... That if I am not pregant, what else is my pcos causing ... Oh forgot to mention chicken legs, all I wanna eat is chicken legs, I dont even like chicken that much....
