Two miscarriages, then this last night

Hding back my excitement because we've had two miscarriages in the past 7 months. I decided to take this last night before our big trip to Nashville. The positive appeared before the control line did. Is that weird? It showed up as the pee was absorbing into the test. And I've had mild cramping through the night. Its been 4 years since I was pregnant with my daughter. Is the cramping normal?
