Cramps .. No AF .. Need to Hear Others Experiences

I'm officially 3 days late & I have begun to feel really mild cramps in my lower abdomen. Usually on one side or the other but not in the center. I'm remaining hopeful because this is my 6th month trying since coming off BC. I just want to know if any of you felt AF about to arrive but ended up getting a BFP? I tested at 10 DPO but it was negative. I decided I wasn't going to test again until Friday after AF was due if it was a no show. Any stories/experiences will help. Thank you in advance 💕. L
