cramps

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I heard that strong cramps before your period is due means that you're not pregnant.  Is that true?  I usually start getting cramps a week before my period is due and I feel them on and off everyday.  They get very strong 2 days before my period is due.   We've been trying for 5 months now and as soon as I start feeling the cramps I always assume I'm not pregnant (and unfortunately I've been correct the past 4 months).  Please let me know.  Thanks

I never heard of that about the cramps. I was wondering if you recently maybe went off of birth control pills before you started trying? Sometimes it takes a little while for you to get pregnant after going off B/C.
