AF Cramps on Progesterone...Still hope for BFP?

in Success after IF
Hi ladies!  So, I am currently in my 2WW after IUI #1.  This cycle, I did a combo of Femara, Follistim, HCG Trigger, and Progesterone supplements.  Yesterday, I started having what felt like really mild AF cramps.  They sort of come and go, but are not painful...just annoying.  Did anyone else have similar cramping around CD20 and still get their BFP?  I guess it could be the progesterone causing the cramps, but they just feel like they always do about a week before AF rears her ugly head (only milder).  My beta isn't until 11/18, and these cramps are making me lose a little hope.  Any insight?

    I had strange cramps during my 2ww and 1st tri. I suppose it could be the progesterone or the start of pregnancy. You are definitely still in the game. GL!

    Thank you both so very much!  You've restored some of my hope. 

    Now, if I can just make it to beta day.  :)

    Same here, I had AF cramps in my 2WW too, I was shocked when I got my BFP since I of course just knew that AF would come any day.  No need to worry, you are still in the game!
