Cramping and Spotting in Early Preg???

I have been lurking on this forum since about Oct and finally got my BFP this past Monday, so I guess I am kind of new here. I have been reading a lot on the internet and in books, but think you ladies will give me the best advice! I had a very faint line Monday on 3 tests, it got a little darker Tues so I am thinking I am about 4 or 5 weeks. I have been cramping like it says I should...slight AF like cramps I guess. I have a dull ache almost all day long, but about every hour I get a little more intense cramp for about 20-30 seconds. It's not something I double over or anything, its just more intense than the pulling feeling. Is this normal or does anyone have the same thing this early on?? So Wed when I woke up, I had slight pink in my CM. So of course I started to freak out...I don't go to the doc until July 8th. The cramps haven't gotten any worse really, but I had a little more pinkish this morning again. It actually was in my underwear this time though. I know its normal to spot in early pregnancy and its ok as long as its not bright red, but I am still worrying my butt off. Can anyone tell me their experiences, whether they ended up fine or in miscarriage? Maybe I can stop worrying so much, but I know you all know how much it stinks to wait. My lower back is very achey too. I know all of this "can" be normal, but I also know it can end in miscarriage. I just need some reassurance....Thanks!

I don't want to worry you but I had pinkish spotting ever so light at 8 weeks, no cramps or anything and it was the beginning of my mc...I called my ob the morning I wiped and saw the pinkish spot on the tp and they told me to come in to rule out an ectopic and other things and they sent me home telling me I was going to mc...I'd get it checked out...good luck!
