Is this a good sign?

My husband and I are TTC and I'm really hoping this is our month. I'm 8DPO and I've just felt weird. I've been getting period-like cramps, but my period is still almost a week away. That's abnormal for me. The other thing that's sorta different for me is that I've been getting lower pain in my stomach. It's right above my vagina but technically still stomach. I guess it'd be lower abdominal pain? But sometimes it's just an ache but other times it's like a sharp pain but it never gets too bad. My SIL told me that this was her first sign of pregnancy, so I was wondering if anybody else had this too. Good luck to all you pretty ladies! Hope this is your month!
