Am I just making this up?

we are almost in the same prediciment! i have two kids too but don't remember any of this! i am 4-5 days away from my next cycle and have the same symptoms as you. i don't remember cramps coming that early and the cramps sort of feel different than period cramps? they are like pulling/tingling cramps? i have also been nauseous on and off. never the same times just different times of the day? i hope this month is both of our months:-)
