Are cramps a positive sign?!?

Hi.  I'm 9dpo & started having mild cramps yesterday.  Not a big deal, but I did notice.  Today, I have the worst cramps!  Even when I walk, it hurts.  Just sitting here typing, I feel it.  My whole stomach is just one big cramp.  I'm just not sure if this is a positive sign or if it's AF wanting to show (even though I never get like this even before AF).  What do you think?  Has anyone felt like this & ended up with a BFP???  Thanks!

I never cramp like this either, and it only hurts when I get up too fast and try to walk. Peeing like a racehorse Can you tell me what you think?

Symptoms:

5dpo, lower abdomen cramps, if i get up too fast it feels like I am stretching or yanking groin area. Temp has been above 98 since a day after ovulation. Swollen belly, nut no bloating, just feel fat and gaining. Horrible cravings of sweet and salty junk food. Negative pregnancy test today.if I drink something and even when I haven't drunk anything.

Thanks, ladies :)  It's weird that I'd have a temp increase the day the cramps were really bad & today my temp is back to normal.  Kind of backwards if it was implantation! :)  Anyway, I'll hope, but won't read too much into it.  Thanks again!

Well i would just like to say that AF cramps can mimic BFP signs and symptoms, i guess its what knowing is the norm for you.  I never paid attention in detail to signs and symptoms i get after ovulation and right b4 AF, i charted my symptoms for 3 months and around 5dpo i get cramps, twinges,bach ache, sore boobs making me think wow a big fat positive, but for me, it means nothing.

So if that is not the normal for you, then i would say it could be a good sing to a BFP
