Cramping - O pain or implantation?

[Starlight32]

I'm on CD22. I thought I ovulated around CD13/14 because of CM and some slight side pain a bit before those days. I was not temping or using opks, so I don't know for sure.

For the past few days, I've had dull cramping, mostly on my right side. At first I thought it was AF, although it seemed too early. I stopped bcp last month, and my expected AF is Sept 27/28. It was a bit sharper yesterday, and the dullness/sharpness comes and goes. It extended to my right side and to my back a little too. What could this cramping be?

hii ♥ i have read that cramping is common in early pregnancy! but sometimes our female bodies are unpredictable and it could indicate late ovulation or that af is on her way... i have only just started trying for bb #1 recently, and i am having some cramping too... but light cramping in my lower abdomen have u tested with HPT yet??

Hey, you're very close to where I am now. I'm due to start AF on Sept. 30th

As to your question, I'd go with implantation. It seems really late for ovulation, yet it seems too early for AF, unless coming right off the bcp messed with your cycles a little. When I had implantation cramping, the discomfort felt very similar to ovulation pain. Good luck and baby dust!
