Yep , when I was pregnant with my now 5 year old I had period cramps so bad and then I felt bloated , I mean seriously I thought I was going to start any day and kept wearing tampons when I went places lol well after being a week late and still having cramps I tested and sure enough I was pregnant . Good luck girl !
Period pains and pregnancy symptoms are very similar to one another so yes you could get AF type pains (I had mild cramping before my BFP) and still be pregnant.
it is very common to get AF like pains when one if preg! If this is uncommon for you to get such strong pains before AF, it could be a good sign Lots of !
Thank you for your replies. I am off on holiday tomorrow and will be taking my CB tests, CB OV monitor, pre-seed as well as monthly supplies, just in case!
Hope I come home with some good news in two weeks!
Good luck to you all and sending lots of baby dust!
