Anyone had cramping and NOT been pregnant?

[MrOctopus]

I’m around 8dpo, cycle day 24. Been having cramps for quite a few days now.
I usually only get cramps a day or so before I’m due on. Not due AF until Xmas eve.

The only time I’ve had this happen is when I was pregnant!
Has anyone had cramps way before they were due on and not been pregnant?

Hey OP, I had this last cycle. I thought it was a symptom or IB. But kept getting BFNs and then eventually AF!

Hmm, it’s strange isn’t it? Why would it start so early??

I'm in the same boat, only ever get cramps the day before af but have been having small cramps every day since ovulating. I have sore breasts too but that's quite normal for me. Will just wait until next week and see if af turns up

How you getting on @Frida9 ?
Due on today, still got plenty of cramps but no AF as of yet.

Can I join in? 2 days late, tonnes of cramps, negative tests. Trying for 2nd, been almost a year. With my first I was pregnant month 2. I did have excruciating cramps when my period was due with him, worse than any period pain! I also had to be 10 days late.

I'm wondering if I got ovulation wrong this month - I don't use tests for that but I just want af to show or a + test so a new cycle can begin

Fingers crossed for you

Course you can join! We’ll wait it out together. I’m 100% expecting AF sometime this evening though, y’know when you just know it’s coming??

…saying that, I remember thinking the same thing before and I was actually pregnant.

Hope you get a nice Christmas BFP in the morning!

Fingers crossed for us both! I went through months and months of not doing a single test thinking maybe I can't have another but this month, I've just felt different but will see what tomorrow brings! I'm also kind of thinking the same

Same to you, merry Christmas!

Well, right on cue, the spotting has begun
Off to get a Xmas drink 😊
Wonder what all that early cramping was about then? Hmm… probably gas in my case.

Best of luck to you @Putdownthecake
Have a lovely Christmas!

Aw bless you!! At least you can enjoy some drinks and hopefully it'll happen in 2022.

Thank you, you too!

My PMS symptoms are different every month, cruel as that is! Last cycle, crazy back/tummy ache from 2dpo. This cycle, no cramps but very, very painful boobs, which never happens! Have tested BFN this month. Nature is so cruel!
