I hope you're feeling better! I have also been having weird cramps this cycle for days 2-3 dpo this cycle. They sort of felt like the same pinchy feeling that I get while ovulating and they are definitely on the same side. I can still feel it now (4 dpo), but it's much less intense. What does it mean? No idea (probably just that I'm hyper-aware of my body right now!).
nah, definitely not gas or poop cramps. unfortunately I am too aware of my gastrointestinal system. :-P it was very low on my abdomen, and my ute felt tight through my abdominal wall.
