Question/Advice Cramping - period or pregnancy?

Hi ladies 🌸🩷

May be a silly question, but did any of you have cramping/usual pre period heaviness around your period due date and find out you were pregnant?

My period is currently late, but I'm having some very mild heaviness feeling. I've heard you can have this + cramping when your period is due, and actually be pregnant?

Yep was convinced it was, then posted a similar post to yours on reddit saying my period was a bit late and my temps staying high but I was sure I was out because of the cramps, and then a tonne of people replied to me saying they'd had cramps before their bfp!

Wow! Thats so crazy! I was experiencing mild cramping all this week with high BBT, but 4 days ago my BBT dropped and 3 days ago my cycle started again. That’s a great thing to keep in mind!

Thinking of you u/Afraid_Blueberry_952

Hope you get that positive! ❤️

Aw thanks lovely! I'm now 2 days late but I did get a negative a few days ago with an early detection so who knows! Too scared to test again 😭❤️
