Question

Anyone get cramping a week before AF?

I had a lot of cramping from 5-8dpo (pinching feeling very sharp) accompanied by what I would describe as uterine pains. Literally just felt like someone used my uterus as a punching bag lol. Felt like this the last time I was pregnant. Ordinarily, before having a baby, I used to get cramps a day or two before I was expecting AF to show and the first couple days of AF... but never had them a week before, then have them stop suddenly. I'm really thinking it's implantation =) Don't wanna get my hopes up though... anyone else experience this and was it implantation or weird PMS?

I plan on testing this Thursday. I'm almost certain it was implantation cramping. I remember having it with my last pregnancy but don't remember when it occurred... I know I was still cramping for weeks after I got a positive when I was pregnant with my daughter.. didn't go away til I was about 7 or 8 weeks along I think lol =)

Keeping my fingers crossed! Hopefully I can get to the store tomorrow so I can test first thing Thursday morning. Most of my symptoms are disappearing besides being super moody and nauseous. Good signs I hope =))
