  Time will tell but I think many of us will tell you we had cramping before our BFP.  IF is such a crazy rollercoaster.

  
  Hope this is it for you!  Good luck!

  I had this exact feeling the day before and the day of my BFP.  It's almost like my body knew it was time for AF to start and everything kicked into gear by my period never came and I got a BFP instead.

  Trying for baby #2 since May 2010. DX elevated prolactin. Clomid round 1-50mg=BFN. Clomid round 2-100mg = BFN. Began taking Cabergoline and prolactin levels regulated. July IUI#1= BFN. Break cycle for August and BFP on 8/26/11!

  early pg symptoms are similar to signs AF is coming, so the only way to know is to test.  GL!

  I wish you the best of luck. 

  It's very common to feel AF-like cramps through the entire first tri - I felt them up until about 11w. 

  Married 08.06
  Started TTC 05.08
  Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
  DH: perfect
  1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
  2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
  
  
  
  1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!

  Easier said than done, but try and ignore the symptoms- they are a total mind F***! With that said, I definitely had AF-like cramping before my positive beta- starting at 3dp5dt.

  Good luck, I hope you get your BFP!!!
