Return of the cramps

I have been wondering what is up with my strange periody feeling - especially since it has been going strong for about five days now. I feel my usual dull achy, crampy stuff going on plus strange sharp pain and stuff. It hasn't been worrying me too much, but it is surprising and weird that it seems to be gaining momentum.

Once again, I love the internet. I checked up about cramping in early pregnancy and found out that though cramping can mean bad things like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancies, it is also very common in people with endometriosis. Most endo sufferers said their symptoms got much worse for the first trimester and then chilled out after that. Though I am totally not loving how much its been hurting me to pee the last few days and the other nonsense, I must admit that I really like feeling something. Many people don't even know they are pregnant at a meager four weeks. For me some early discomfort is totally worth really feeling different.

I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I mean, about the positive pregnancy test and feeling things, too! I hope that it isn't too painful for you, so you can enjoy this time. Speaking as a non-endometriosis person, I think very early pregnancy feels exactly like about-to-start-my-period. I am always willing to be $100 bucks I am not pregnant because it feels so much like that. I'll keep praying for y'all. I love y'all.
