Hi emilysim1,
I've just posted a similar question to yours! I'm a bit further along than you in my cycle but had/having some of the same symptoms. I'm DPO 16 and 4 days late. I have really strong AF cramps but no sign of her yet, I am never late so this is bizarre for me!
Do you usually get tender boobs after O? I do sometimes and I get them before AF too, so I don't tend to count them as a symptom for me. If this is not the norm for you, I think it could definitely be a sign!My aureolas have darkened in the last few days which is have never happened before!
This cycle I had awful cramps and backache at around DPO 6/7, it was very strong and came in waves. It settled down around DPO8/9 but then my AF type cramps started around DPO11. I have also been very gassy this cycle and also had diarrhoea on DPO 8 too! I've had creamy CM since DPO 4 until now - lets hope it's a sign for us both!
I strongly doubt I am preg because of the AF pain but being late is making me question it!

This is my first month TTC so i mormally dont keep track. My boobs have been sore since 2dpo (couldve been from O)and my areolas havent really darkened much just the tips of my nipples turn purple some evenings then it goes away. Weird right? Have you tested yet? Seems like it should show by now? Its weird for me. No morning sickness only get hot flashes and a bit dizzy. I just hope all of these symptoms arent just in my head.
