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 4

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections, polyp, fibroids and  hormonal changes can cause spotting.   There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test

Question 5

light spotting n light cramps week after period. had sex 6th day of period. girl irregular. period every other month. but last two didn't skip. preg?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess, but: A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.

Question 6

is it normal to get cramps after period? got my period last week.lasted longer than usual & i still get cramps all day everyday .never happened before

Accepted Answer

Past history: Your past history of menstrual cycles is the best way to determine if this is normal for you. If what you are experiencing this cycle is different than the many years of cycles you have had in the past then it can not be considered normal for you.

Question 7

does menstral like cramps two weeks after period mean you ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Mid cycle pain also called mittelschmerz is associated with ovulation. It is often seen in women with regular cycles. It is generally mild, unilateral in location and lasts from a few hours to a few days.If you are not sure, i'd urge to talk with a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Question 8

my period was 9 days late,  it lasted 6 days. now mild cramping,  week after period.  what can be causing the cramps?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain is complex as there are several organs in the pelvis. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, bladder, appendix, intestines, colon and rectum can all be the source. Pelvic pain requires and examination to help organize the evaluation.

Question 9

period came 3days late, 1st day was heavy then turned light, lasted 4days. 8days after period i have cramps. why? not had unprotected sex for 3 weeks

Accepted Answer

Hormonal change: Always consider pregnancy if a possibility, but it sounds like a minor hormonal change and i suggest waiting to see what happens this next cycle. If you had unprotected sex 3 weeks ago, then you were at your most fertile time and need a pregnancy test.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See your doc: A pregnancy test is warranted media rely.  Visit to your gyn.  You need to rule out pregnancy.
