Symptom spotting I know I shouldn't 😶

I know the symptoms for pregnancy and period are relatively the same but has anyone had period like pains 6 days before their period and turn out to be pregnant?
Iv had pains now since ovulation but today it feels more like my period is coming. I'm. Pretty sure it's my body gearing up ready for it to come but I'd like to hold onto some home it could be pregnancy related. It's a dull ache in my lower abdomen similar to where you would have period pains but it's not intense, its just there! Just seems strange 6 days before I'm due on? Maybe I'm looking into things to much..

Yes, the only symptoms I had when I got my BFP were slightly stronger period cramps than usual!

Hey,
When I got pregnant in feb that was the symptom that stood out the most to me. I got period like cramps way before my period was due... was waiting around for my period but turned out I was pregnant.
Sadly that ended in a chemical for me , however started ttc again and am currently 9dpo, period is 6 days away and very crampy very early on again so 🤞🏻

Thank you for your reply girls. I'm in shock I got a very faint positive this morning, came. Up within the 3 mins so definitely all real! Not going to get too excited yet as I know anything can happen from this point but fingers crossed 🤞🏼 x

@Rmw99

I can see it!!! Congratulations 🥳
You have given me hope that this might be my month too 🥰🥰
I'm now 4 days away from AF.. want to try and wait until at least Sunday before I test 🙈

I got implantation pains about 4 days before my period was due, it was really strange like period cramps but I knew they were different. I had them in my thighs too and they got worse at night in 2 out of 3 of my pregnancies.

@AhaShakeHeartbreak12

My cramps have been worse at night time! That bad I even put a towel down in bed incase AF came in the middle of the night 🤷🏼‍♀️

They have calmed down now and every now and then get a pulling/twinge cramp in my left side 🤷🏼‍♀️

@monkeyy97 weird, I have cramps as well, only in the evenings / night time. Fingers crossed :)
@Rmw99 congratulations!!!

Thank you girls, the difference for me to last month was I had pain consistently from Ovulation it just never went, and I had pains in my right side and then the period like cramps yesterday xx

Yes I was fully convinced my period was coming from the pains I was getting. But I'm 16 weeks pregnant now 🤣 we actually ended up doing two tests as we just didn't believe the first one.
