Q: Lower Abdominal Cramping...a Sign of Pregnancy?

Hi all...My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant now for about 3 months...The past 3 days I have been having period like cramps but my period is not due for another week. Is this a symptom of pregnancy...This would be our first child so there are many things I am unsure about. I want to take a test but think I should probably wait till I am late. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :?

I had lower abdominal cramping when I was a couple of weeks pregnant but don't get your hopes up as I also get cramping when I ovulate which is roughly about a week or so before my period.

I think though to put your mind at ease take the test but it might not show up positive so early. I hope everything goes the way you want it to and good luck.
