Cramps a Week After Period?? Posted: 09-08-05 12:19pm


I don't know what to think about this. My husband and I have been trying for a baby, but i've been experiencing cramping as if i'm going to get my period. My period ended last friday the 2nd - we've had sex 4 times since then. Why am I cramping? I've never had this happen to me before and it's uncomfortable and very annoying. Periods are one aggervating occurance in a womans life, I don't want another one... Well, much help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Mild cramping can occur for any number of reasons: cysts, ovulation, hormone change, gas, constipation, viruses or bacteria. Just about any reason. I had mild cramping the week before I was to start my period, along with all my other normal premenstral symptoms. Only my period never came and I am now due april 23rd. The cramping continued for about 3 weeks, and has now mostly subsided. I am a little over 8 wks into my pregnancy now. Hopefully for you it is just your body getting ready for the ovulation. If you just finished your period and are trying to conceive then I would suggest having sex every day from now until 2 - 3 weeks from now. When finished with the act linger in bed laying on your back or side. Some suggest even putting a pillow under your rear to help keep the fluids in. Good luck and keep us posted!
