Cramping before your bfp?

Onceinalovetime

I'm having some cramps that feel like AF cramps but also some annoying cramps off to the side. My P isn't due until Thursday and I never ever cramp before my p if I do cramp at all. Did this happen to anybody else?

When I first started TTC I swore I did not cramp in normal cycles. But it turns out I cramp every month, I had just never noticed! In fact, I didn't cramp the two months I got BFPs. But there are plenty of women who cramp, too. Bottom line is symptoms mean nothing.

I always cramp with AF but I also did have cramping for about two weeks after I got my BFP which was right around the time I should have gotten AF

I had cramping the day after I should've gotten my last period -- and it felt exactly like my PMS cramps. Which actually led me to think I was just a bit late so I started drinking again. (Oopsie!) 

Cramping at that stage is pretty common I think. Mine started then and continued pretty much non-stop for a few weeks. Now I just get some minor "pulls" now and then.

I had cramps both before and after I got a BFP. Like Luna, thought it was menstrual cramps :P

I had cramps, just like the PMS cramps that I usually get.  Thought my period was coming and was like, frick.  Not this month I guess...  I was surprised to get a BFP.  GL to you.

The cramps were what made me test in the first place. I never get them before AF.

Worst cramps ever when I was due, went a day past and to my shock I was pregnant!

I always cramp. These cramps weren't as bad as they normally are though. However, I still thought my "monthly friend" was coming until 4 days later. No more cramps and no "monthly friend".

I never thought I cramped before my period when I first started ttc. I'm having slight cramps as we speak!

This happened to me. I was cramping on and off for a week before my missed period. This was something that never happened to me. So I tested and sure enough I'm pregnant!

I'm 13 dpo and my period is due tomorrow. I've been having some cramping today that feel like AF is definitely gonna come we did the deed the day before, day of ovulation and two days after so not sure if I caught the egg but I have been having cramping since early dpo. Any insight would be great, 3rd month trying n really hoping it's our month.
Symptoms:
Sensitive to smell, a lil nauseated at times, had heartburn the other night which I never have, peeing a lil more than normal but that is new, boobs r only a lil sore but only at times, feeling really lazy, really emotional for almost a week, body is breaking out

I started cramping Fri Nov 1.....was expecting AF on Thurs Nov 7 (pretty sure I ovulated around Oct 24-25). Cramps were strong. I felt like AF was gonna show up any minute. Once in a while they would feel slightly different though....a little more off to the side (more like ovulation cramping). By Monday, still no AF. That's when I started to think there was a chance I was pregnant. By the way the cramps felt, I felt like AF definitely should have been there. By Tues/Wed I was also noticing that the cramps would go away for a little while at times, which seemed different than my normal menstrual cramps. By Wed Nov 6 I decided to go get some pregnancy tests. To my surprise I got a positive HPT Wed night, the day before my expected period. I continued to have the same cramps for the next 2 weeks or so. They have died down a lot now...in frequency and intensity.

I had that when I was pregnant with my son. It was so bad that I just KNEW that af was gonna visit sometime during the night. I even took precautionary measures. Next morning no af so I took a test and BOOM...bfp lol
