Question about symptoms

Ivi • Baby #1 due in July 2018! Our miracle baby after almost 3 years of trying and 8 IUIs❤️❤️ My miracle was born July 8th, 2018! Motherhood is one of the most challenging, yet gratifying life change I’ve ever experienced!
Hello! I've been told and I've read in multiple websites that early pregnancy can mimic AF for a lot of women. My period is do around the 12th, I'm feeling as I usually do when I am getting close to AF, cramps, sore breasts, hunger. The day before AF I usually get a dull back pain, that's when I know for sure it's about to come. Anyway, any of you ladies that have been previously pregnant or are currently pregnant experience the same symptoms as your AF but ended up being pregnant? Instead of ugly AF to your surprise you got your BFP? Please comment, I dying to know this plus I'm trying to stay a bit positive but my brain keeps telling me not to. Getting a bit depressed. Thanks
