Period pains but no period ttc

Been trying to get pregnant for a while now - I've taken pregnancy tests but they're negative still - I've only used the cheap strip ones though.

I'm on day 29 of my cycle so my period is due anywhere from now to Friday/Saturday and I've got period twinges but no actual period! Normally my cycle is anywhere from 29-34 days long.

By now I've usually had spotting in the lead up to my period but nothing - the pains are getting stronger but they're only like a stab pain then they've gone again (if that makes sense!)

Could these be early pregnancy cramps? I'm trying to hold off testing for another couple of days as it does feel like my period will be here soon but I've not even had the spotting yet! Tmi but I also seem to be having quite a fair amount of discharge/cervical mucus - normally around this time of the month I don't get that - I don't know if im reading too much into this!

Any experiences would be great - thank you!!

I had bad cramps before my bfp so it could well be! But I had similar cramps and then my period. Why don't you just test because it would show up by now if you were? Good luck!

@namechangedforthis9

Did the cramps feel like period cramps? Mine do feel like that horrible sharp pain and I'm just so worried it's my period on it's way.

Would the test show? I'm 11dpo, I thought it might be early still :(

I had period pains before bfp both pregnancies. I had them through both 1st trimesters.
The only difference i noticed that made me think it wasn't AF was no premenstrual mood swings and bumpy areola.

@fairgame84

I think I'm going to do another test tonight and hope for the best!

Good luck. I got a squinted at 10dpo and a proper line at 11dpo with fmu.
