I am so ansious this week!! My period varies from 25 days to 29 days. It is day 26 and I have been feeling a slight cramp on my low abdomen since the beginning of last week. It could be my body getting ready for bleeding but it could also be that clomid worked this time for us - 2nd round. How do you know the difference between period cramps or pregnancy cramps?
Maybe I am hoping so much to be pregnant, that my mind is playing tricks with me...My breasts and nipples are also very tender, but it happens close to bleeding.
Can anybody tell me the difference? I appreciate your time.

Honestly, I just found out I was pregnant and I had almost the exact same type of cramping just before my af came as I did the cycle I was pregnant. I thought for sure so many of my other cycles but it was only af cramps. This cycle however my back was a little more sore than usual just before af would have arrived..but instead it was a bfp. I also had cramping around ovulation. Anyway..good luck to you regardless!!Babydust!!!

I also had my typical af cramps a week before my bfp. For me it was impossible to tell ahead of time, no symptoms except hunger. Good luck!!!

Thank you for your support. You wouldn't believe...I just did a urine test this morning and came back positive, but I am still not convinced! Can you get a false positive test? I only had one left, so couldn't do it again. Shall I do a pregnancy blood test? I am not from the USA, my husband is here on a contract until the end of the year, so how do I get one? I guess I have to see a GP first for a prescription right?

Congratulations!!! It is very very rare to have a false positive! That is wonderful! You can call your local Health Department and they will refer you to a clinic that can confirm, again congrats!
