Question 1

on microgestin fe 1/20, just had period and period is over, still cramping. am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

You can test: You are on birth control and you just had your period. Pregnancy seems very unlikely in these circumstances. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.

Question 2

period ended but i'm still having cramps. why?

Accepted Answer

Possible reasons: For cramps after your period can include:  remaining prostaglandins in your system after your period – causing continued cramps. Sometimes your period hasn’t actually ended – it has transiently slowed or stopped. Other reasons for cramping could be pregnancy or ovulation.

Question 3

period ended yesterday still cramping. why?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Continued cramping suggests that your uterus is not completely empty.  You could have some other cause of the pain but first thing to do is to get pregnancy test.  If it continues, see someone.

Question 4

period is normally painful for the first 2 days. this was painful entire time and still cramping 3 days after what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This could be an ovarian cyst which is common and often occurs in the last half of the cycle before the onset of bleeding and sometimes ruptures causing more discomfort. These may also take a week or so to resolve.  This could also be urinary tract infection, endometriosis or unrelated such as gastrointestinal problem.  See your doctor if the symptoms persist.

Question 5

period always normal and able to pinpoint start date came one day late and was light and i've been off four days still cramping slightly.... sign?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Could have occurred for a number of reasons, but the one easiest for you to check would be to do a pregnancy test.

Question 6

period started a day late this month. this is the first day and i have very little bleeding but still have cramps i am a virgin. what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Period ?'s: Cramps precede the onset of bleeding, and on occasion, clots will form and block the release of blood, which makes the bleeding seen appear "light".  Clots are then forced from the cervical canal, and more intense cramping will be experienced.

Question 7

how come i still get my emotional/cramps before a period, but then the period does not come? every month though at the end i get emotional. i think i have skipped twice so far and idk yet for this month. went every other month; im a virgin/no birthco?

Accepted Answer

: Due to cyclical hormonal changes you can have changes in your emotions. Irregular periods are usually not a problem and only become an issue if you are trying to get pregnant. since that doesn't appear to be the case, there is nothing to worry about.

Question 8

i'm off my period, why am i still having cramps?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic cramps: Hello, 
Aside from your period, you may have pelvic cramps when ovulating.  Usually ovulation occurs anytime between day 12-16 of your menstrual cycle (depending on your specific cycle).  If the cramping is persistent, then you may need to see your doctor.  Based on exam, they will decide if a pelvic ultrasound would be useful.

Question 9

still cramping after my period. why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

Possible reasons: For cramps after your period can include:  remaining prostaglandins in your system after your period – causing continued cramps. Sometimes your period hasn’t actually ended – it has transiently slowed or stopped. Other reasons for cramping could be pregnancy or ovulation.

Question 10

i'm having a period for 12 days and still counting. i don't know why but at my first day i didn't feel any cramps.

Accepted Answer

Long period: A longer period, with or without cramps can represent an anovulatory cycle, a spontaneous miscarriage or pregnancy  if you are sexually active, or an infection.   I would seek medical attention to determine the reason you are still bleeding.
