You're not out until AF shows up.

ChagSameachDoreen · 19/05/2022 16:21

Have you tested?

OldWivesTale · 19/05/2022 16:42

If AF cramps means period pain then I had period pain and sore boobs every time I was pregnant. In fact the first time I got pregnant I didn't realise until 16 weeks because I kept thinking I was about to get my period.

Period pains were my very first symptom with DD. I was so convinced AF was about to turn up, I spent a week wearing a sanitary towel. I got my BFP instead!

user0512 · 19/05/2022 19:13

When did you all test? How many DPO? I haven't tested yet

@user0512 how many DPO are you now?

TheGlitterati · 19/05/2022 19:19

No. Period pains are common with implantation. I tested at 9 dpo and got a positive.

user0512 · 19/05/2022 19:57

I'm 12 DPO but I just know that AF is coming. It can't be a positive. I just have a feeling

@user0512 Symptoms of imminent AF are pretty much the same as early pregnancy. Hence why you're not out until AF shows up. Hopefully it won't x

TheGlitterati · 19/05/2022 20:43

I don’t know how you can have the restraint not to test.

I've spent so much money buying tests and testing for them to be negative that I've kind of given up testing early

Having AF symptoms so I've already lost hope and can't be bothered to test lol

This was me too!

I was 5+2ish when I tested (irregular periods so no idea how many DPO I was)

yaboreme · 19/05/2022 21:39

I was sure too, I had AF cramps probably worse than normal.

Bit teary too.... nope! Definitely pregnant. Hang in there, your body can reflect AF symptoms in early pregnancy. Bloating, emotional, sore boobs, tummy cramps.

I have everything crossed for you Flowers

Do you usually get af cramps before your period starts?

Lilmisscatelin · 20/05/2022 16:14

Not at all! I had af style cramps and was using a hot water bottle the day af was due, felt no pregnancy symptoms just af cramps, 3 days after af was due I did a test to put my mind at rest and got my bfp 😊

Yep, I got really bad PMS symptoms. I did a cheapie today and it was negative so I guess I'm defo out x

Every pregnancy for me was normal period cramping...
