Has anyone gotten their BFP after feeling like AF is coming?

I've been having what feels like menstrual cramps for three days, AF is late, but I've tested on 10DPO and 13DPO both with BFN.

Yes, that is exactly how I felt right before my BFP...I actually only tested to be sure because I was about to start painting and my temp was still high that morning, but I really thought it would be negative because of the cramps.  Good luck!

Absolutely.  I was 100% confident my period was going to arrive.  However, when I tested at 14dpo...I was (happily) wrong.

I was sure I was getting AF any minute.  I ordered a 50 pack of OPKs and bought a new BBT in preparation.

I was positive AF was coming.  I had all the AF symptoms.. cramping, bloating, etc.  Then I tested and got a BFP and I was shocked.

Oh yes! I was very convinced AF was starting. I had AF like cramps for about a week with nothing to show for it (very out of the norm for me). I decided to test and got a positive!!

The month I got my BFP I was so sad and upset because it was 4 days before my Af was due I did a FRER and it was negative- I am always a 10 dpo gal and I was upset. 

Then at 12 DPO I tested- in the morning as I bought tons of cheap online HPT and so I poas set it down and fell back asleep.  45 minutes later I came back and it was very very slight positive- so slight I couldn't believe it - as it was 45 minutes later I went and poas again- I actually did about 3 that morning all were very light and not sure if positive.  Then I finally boughyt a digital - it was the 7th PG test I did that day and it was positive.

Menstural like cramps are very normal in early pregnancy.  I had cramping for a few weeks after my BFP and was always worried I would start to bleed. Bloating is also very normal, so you could still be pregnant.

That's exactly what it felt like for me. My face broke out something terrible, I was bloated, cramping constantly, and my boobs were extra-tender. BFP followed shortly thereafter.

Yup. I swore AF was coming because I was so crampy but tested at 14 DPO and got a very dark second line.

I'm glad there's still hope. I just wish I was one of those girls that could test at 10 or 11DPO and know already! lol

Yes. About a week before AF was due, I began to have cramping that made me think that it would start any minute. But that cramping was also the signal that I was pregnant because it was happening so early, along with the fact that a few days later, my toothpaste started to taste horrible.
