Spotting 10 dpo / cramps

Just looking for some input 🥰

9 dpo I had a small amount of mild cramping for about 20-30 mins.

10 dpo (yesterday) cramping came back I had spotting once. Light pink and that was it and it never came back. But the cramping has continued and feels a lot like menstrual cramps.

Now I’m 11 dpo and still no spotting but still have cramps.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I don’t remember getting spotting but I did have consistent cramping around 4-5 weeks and onwards that felt so much like AF to the point where I was expecting AF every time I went to the bathroom.

Did your cramps feel like this before your bfp? It’s very frustrating that AF and pregnancy symptoms are similar. Anyone have minimal spotting once and cramping and then get a bfp? I thought it was a good sign I got the spotting on 10 dpo as I know implantation can happen around 6-12 dpo.
