Question

Serious cramps 3 days before AF. Pregnant or PMS?

My husband and I have been TTC for 6 months. I took a Walgreens blue dye test, big mistake, and it appeared to have a faint line in the result window. After taking the test, I was over the moon excited. I decided to do some research on the accuracy of the test and sadly found out its known for false positives. :/ However, I have been having some serious cramps. Worse than PMS cramps. I'm 10dpo and still have a few days for AF. Could this be sign of early miscarriage? I had cramps in my first pregnancy, but it wasn't until after I had a BFP the day before AF. I have researched this question and read other answers, I just wanted some more opinions. At 10dpo, could I take a digi, or just wait for AF? Any and all advice is appreciated.

I wouldnt try a digi just yet, but if u can find some decent priced pink dye tests, u could try that. The blue dye tests are bad, I've had nothing but horrible experiences with them, buuut they do still work so u very well could be pregnant. U still have time, try not to worry. And until u can confirm the results of the blue dye, dont assume its a mc, the test could also be wrong. Positive thoughts!! =))

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst what would u rate ur cramps? This could also be implantation pains this far into ur cycle? Try and stay positive I know it's hard we're in the same boat huh.

It's a constant, deep ache. I would rate it a 4. Keeping my fingers crossed for implantation cramps. I will give myself a day or two and try the pink dye test. My first pregnancy was so easy. I knew I was pregnant before I ever missed my period. Just intuition. I guess that's because we weren't TTC. Now that we're trying, it's like I feel pregnant all the time because I want it so bad. :/

I took a million tests starting from 6dpo because i kept getting faint positives lol, 2 days before my expected period i had REALLY bad cramping, worse than ive ever felt before, so i thought forsure my period was coming. the day of my expected period i had some spotting and i was like, okay! im not pregnant. but it stopped. 2 days after i took another test(still getting really bad cramping) and it was positive. im now 21 weeks along with a very healthy baby boy! :) my advice, try not to worry. wait until you've missed your period or you're just going to stress yourself out. good luck!
