Could it really be?

Hi everyone! I'll get straight to the point. My last period started on Dec 14. Since yesterday, I've been feeling some cramps in my tummy and had a few instances of very light pink spotting/discharge, plus some gurgling in my stomach. I should be getting my period on Wed Jan 11. Otherwise, I don't feel any different. I really hope this time it's a hit. When did you all take your tests? Love, hopeful Vera
