Confused but cautiously optimistic?

I posted this on another thread too so sorry if you saw already just not getting feedback there.

Long story short I woke up to bad cramps around 4am and just thought my period was about to start so took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep. When I got up at 8 I had very dull cramps still, and still no bleeding so decided to do a test. Well it definitely is picking up on the hormone but I’m afraid to get excited because what if the cramping is a bad sign and I’m just going to end up with an early miscarriage or ectopic? Did anyone else have cramping the same time as a positive test? We’ve been TTC for 7 months, I’m 31, and about 14 days post ovulation. Period was supposed to start tomorrow. As of right now I still have no bleeding but some cramping on and off that seems to be a little worse on the left side. Just wondering what people experiences were with this and if you ended up with a healthy baby afterwards! Thanks in advance!
