Ovulation wise i get a sharp pain on either my left side or right side next to my hip bone, that kind of area for 3 maybe 4 days when i OV, so a few days before hand and a day after. i never knew what this was until i came on here! i thought i just got a random pain few days a month while AF wasn't there!
AF wise i get no pains at all until about half a hour after i, sorry for TMI, wipe and there's blood. that's when i take painkillers because half a hour later, even with painkillers in me i can still just about walk it hurts so bad! and i often end up in tears. 24hours later, no pain nothing.
Just thought I'd add my experience of my only BFP regarding cramps. Previously I'd have a late period, no cramping, think I was pregnant and do a test and it was negative. This time (I had IVF) I had my embryos transferred on the 26th June, on the 28/29th I had cramping which got worse & worse steadily until test date which was the 12th July. I had some really strong gripping cramps that sent me to the loo several times expecting AF. But she never came and they settled about 6-7 weeks of pregnancy.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that AF cramping way before you are due seems to be a good sign so if you find yourself getting major cramps like a week before you're due, you maybe pregnant
