Brief Answer:
please do a blood test for pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
If you are sure about your ovulation date then your test for pregnancy should clearly tell you whether you are pregnant. Though urine tests are reliable a blood test for beta hcg will tell you for sure.
If positive then the reason for cramps had to be determined.
If negative then it can be due to your period which is due.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks
Dr Bhagyashree
