Just what it says in the title really. I feel like I am going to come on. I don't normally notice any period symptoms until the day before (I suppose maybe I just haven't noticed them). I was thinking maybe it's a good sign? I don't know, maybe it's not. What do you think and what are your experiences? Thanks :)

Could be a good sign, but could just mean absolutely nothing.
I generally start cramping few days after Ovulation, getting stronger closer to AF (so that 2 very long weeks). I never noticed this in my life before I started tracking things when I actively starting ttc.
You've got another 6 days to wait, so although it torturous, I'd try and push it to the back of your mind.
Every month as soon as my cramping starts I tell myself it's AF on her way again. That's the best way I find to cope with it.
Good luck and hope you get that BFP in 6 days! :)

When I was pregnant each time, I got strong pains as though I was about to begin my period but it just never came. Sore breasts at all? That was my next big symptom.

Thank you ladies for your replies!! Yes, I have had sore boobs for days now and getting more each day. I do get that with af but not until day before I'm sue. Can't stand the waiting!! lol

I think I always waited until I was past period being due but I know that was always how it felt - like you were just about to get period but it never came. Think my symptoms were just that dull ache you get in stomach/uterus and tender breasts. Was over 9 years since had last child so memory not great but pregnant 7 times in total and all but 1 like that (was still breast feeding and just felt slightly squeamish so found out at about 7 or 8 weeks).
