Could i be pregnant or am i just wishing?

Yes you can have menstrual like cramping and be pregnant. I began having this about a week and a half before my period and still experience it...Just your uterus preparing for the 9 months ahead...You could also just be experiencing menstrual cramps. You sound like me however and I am pregnant so don't loose all hope yet! Keep trying and have fun!!! Lots of sticky baby dust to you and all others TTC!!
