Anyone get strange intermittent AF cramps before BFP?

I've had some strange sensations since the evening of 6dpo, I'm not 10dpo. I am not an early tester I am actually scared of seeing a negative test. However I've had some off AF cramps but very mild over the last few days, super early for me, I have a 14 day LP so normally get a heavier feeling in my cervix the day of or day before I start AF. But I've been having that since 7 or 8dpo this cycle. Had none of this cycle. I've had other strange sensations not pain but feelings across my uterus low down and a pinch feeling a couple of times on my left side. I ovulated from my left. I'm not going to test as I think it's still too early but has anyone else felt totally normal, like normal in every way just odd light cramps that come and go and the odd feeling occasionally that led to a BFP?

I had this in my last pregnancy it was implantation happening that caused the cramps

@ThatSnugSwan oh wow thank you. Was everything else literally normal with you? I'm almost trying to convince myself I can't be as everything is perfectly normal & so surely I can't be pregnant. 😭

I felt the exact same as coming on my period! Really crampy, even bought a box of tampons before my holiday and packed them. Period never came!

@Elisabeth3468 ok that's good to know. I mean it's all gone away now for the minute. It's so intermittent which is making me think it may not be a very very early period as if I get the heavy cervix and crampy feeling before AF it really is normally the day before or day of, never a week before so that's what's throwing me. I hope it's a BFP waiting for me next week

@HopefulSS Yes everything else was normal I had no symptoms until week 6 or 7 on both my pregnancies but I did get implantation pain then a light implantation bleed on both times. Fingers crossed for you

@ThatSnugSwan thank you so much! I had implantation spotting for both of the chemicals I had. Cramps with the second one that came at 11dpo and then went away. This time cycle 3 of trying it's the odd cramping and heavy cervix from 7/8dpo. So odd, I hope it's something and not just progesterone! My cycles are so regular so AF is never early or late, accept it was late when I had my last chemical by two days. I'm dying to know but super worried it's all in my head and will be a BFN

Really hope so!! I thought I was out and coming on my period early !! I remember was I annoyed because was going on holiday and wanted to take my son swimming.
27 weeks now! Didn't take a test till I'd got home from holiday but I knew deep down I was pregnant. X

@Elisabeth3468 oh that's amazing for you!! I am super happy you got that result! I'm feeling the same, like my period is coming, I feel quite sad about it. I don't know whether to just wait until Wednesday and if no period then test or test Sunday at 12dpo. I can't understand the timings of these feelings, it's all so early for AF but they feel exactly like AF 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 driving myself mad! X

Hi OP I hope you’re well. I could have literally written all of your posts word for word… just wondering if you turned out to be pregnant this cycle? I really hope so! Sorry to hear about your losses, I have had 2 as well. Xx
