    AndiE you can totally get AF cramps and a BFP... I am a case in point! Apparently it's quite common. I'm 9 weeks with my first after TCC for over a year and a half and my cramps started before AF was due and lasted consistently for about 3 weeks after my BFP and still now off and on but quite dull. Initially they felt EXACTLY like my pre-AF cramps so was comforting myself and trying to prepare for AF- not knowing she would not come!

    Hi Ladylove - congrats on your pg! I think the chances of me being pg are very, very (... very) small. It's just that my body is not behaving quite like it usually does when AF is imminent. It's causing me to be a bit confuddled. I'm hopeful ... but waaay too realistic to think this "is" what I'd like it to be.

    Dammit. I've run out of chocolate. Anyone have a bar or three that I can borrow?

    UA - um, all of the above? hee hee.

    The spotting is starting to become a bit more consistent, so I'm definitely thinking it's AF. Which is fine. Much better I know than be stuck in the "twilight zone".

    More than happy to share.... but if the parcel is empty when it gets to you, I swear the postie took them all

    I agree though, knowing is better than being stuck wondering - I only took the POAS with this pregnancy so I would get AF because we really weren't expecting or even trying, and I took it before AF was due!
