Pinch like cramps 7 days after ovulation. could this be a early pregnancy sign?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not a reliable way: A pinch like cramp is not a reliable symptom to help determine if someone is pregnant or not. You will have to wait another week to see if you miss your pregnancy test. If so then check a pregnancy test.
