Freshpoison, if it's an on and off thing, you should be fine. For me, my cramps became really painful, then we went for the scan and found out the sac was empty (arnd 6 wks). If it's just light cramps which come and go, it's probably your uterus expanding to get ready for the baby. Hang in there.
Adel, congrats! You got a bfp! Piggytoh is right, faint line is still a positive. We all started with faint lines which are now very dark.
Cowgal, yup, I tested around 13-14dpo and my line was quite faint, I had to take a second test to confirm! Luckily had pee in a cup.
Mrs Chua, yeah prob at this stage, can only see the sac, so no point to scan, at least that's what your gynae's reasoning is. He is prob right since usually if it's ectopic, you will feel sharp pains etc. So he assumes your preg is intrauterine and asked you to come back when got more action!
Piggytoh, got theme for the party? So fun, might be a good distraction from worrying about the current preg. My only distraction is work!
