Cramping at 2/3 DPO? What is it??

Anonymous
Something funky has been going on down there. It's a distinct "twinge" feeling, sometimes mild cramping in a very localized area, sometimes a stronger cramping, and it's totally noticeable. It's not like AF cramping at all, though. It's not a broad cramping like that. It's like someone is poking and twisting that one area. It's most noticeable when I get up from sitting or lay down. Sometimes I feel it sort of pulsing, and sometimes it radiates throughout that general area but only for a split second. Sometimes it feels like a bubble, sometimes it feels like a pricking. I am not imagining this at all. It feels nothing like gas or indigestion. It feels like it's near my right ovary, but maybe a little more toward the center. It doesn't quite feel like it's smack-dab in the middle of the uterus -- more toward the side closer to my inner thigh, down from my right ovary. Sometimes I barely feel it and sometimes I feel it so much that I have a hard time focuing on anything else. It was worse yesterday than today, but it's still there today.

I am 29 year old with regular cycles. I had a CP last year so I am really scared because this all feels so similar to what I experienced then.

I ovulated on Sunday. I chart and take OPKs. I also had the mittelschmerz very strongly on Saturday when DH and I BDd (and my +OPKs were the night before and that day). During my first pregnancy, I had what I think was implantation cramping between 6-9 DPO..... four days straight. It went away and I got three BFPs between 11-13 DPO, and then I started bleeding four days later. The cramping was very uncomfortable (like this) and I couldn't take anything for it (or, rather, didn't want to). I am so afraid that this recurring cramping is a bad, bad sign. I also have no idea why it's happening so early! How can you feel anything this early? But nevertheless, there it is.

I don't think it's implantation cramping because it's too early. From what I've read, it can take 7-10 days for that to happen. So then what do you think this is? Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

don't read too much into it, it's probably just your body being weird. When you are TTC, it's natural to over analyze ever little twinge and cramp.

OP here.

Well, it's not exactly over-analytical. It's something I've never felt before in my life that is very noticeable and the timing seems more than just a little coincidental. I am sure it's related and I was just curious if anyone had a suggestion of what it might be that I'm feeling. Your body doesn't just start cramping and twinging for days for no reason whatsoever.
