i have something similar happening to me. so i hope u get an answer soon..

looks like we are in the same boat and on the same cycle too. I'm 12 dpo today and af was due today. no sign of her but I'm cramping on and off all day. since around 8 dpo. sometimes their strong sometimes its mild. I have also been having bad headaches here and there and a lot of CM. and usually I'm pretty dry right before af is due. I was wondering the same thing so I asked a girl on here and I got a lot of responses from women saying yes they have had bad af cramps before and after af was due and they got a bfp. my mom also told me its normal. its your uterus getting ready for a baby and its normal to cramp through a pregnancy because the uterus is growing! I hope we both get our bfps. i took a test yesterday and the day before. my husband said he saw ines, i did too but i think they were evaps. idk. i also heard from a lot of women that they didn't get bfps till a week or so after af was due. good luck and baby dust to you!

Yes, I got pregnant last cycle and would have sworn my AF was coming. I was actually getting an attitude with my husband that we missed it. I had all my normal Pms symptoms but I was pregnant. Unfortunately that ended in a chemical pregnancy 9 days after my period was due but I've heard lots of others say they had the same thing and had healthy pregnancies and babies!

100%, i just got my positive in digital clear blue but 2-3 days ago i swore i was having af cramps and my period was coming so it can be normal to feel pains before!

Thanks ladies for your help. AF is due today and just have very mild cramps right now so just waiting to see what happens.
