Do any of you get mild cramps before AF arrives? Sunday and today I have been getting them and usually I do not cramp until the middle of AF. She is not due to arrive until Thurs or Fri. THANK YOU!!!

I'd venture to say the answer from just about all of us here will be a resounding "YES." This is all part of the lovely PRE-menstrual syndrome (PMS), and it's very, very common to get cramps in the days before AF - mild, moderate, severe, you name it.

kris,

it's common for most people, but not for me--i tend to start lightly, in every sense. so for me (and maybe for you), cramps--dull, persistent, sometimes twingey--have been one of the strongest signs (finally confirmed today by hpt at 12 dpo).

good luck,
