Question 1

why am i still bloated and mild cramping after my period?

Accepted Answer

Lingering hormones: Some women can get the bloating and mild cramping days before and or after their period as the hormones associated with the monthly cycle wax and wane. Hope this helps.

Question 2

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 3

i spotted this month for gour days and yhats not normal for me i had heahaches some neuessa and always tired and still having cramps after period preg?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Anytime you are having unprotected intercourse, pregnancy is possible. Do a pregnancy test to know for sure but if your period was on time and not abnormal it isn't likely that you are pregnant. It is more worrisome that you might have an infection. If the cramping and spotting continue you definitely need to be seen.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Gi: It may be your stomach infection that is the source of your cramping.  Drink plenty of fluids.

Question 5

i had sex 12 days before expected period, i had a bit of spotting 6 days after having sex then had a normal period on the 23rd of december after period i've started having cramps like a stretch feeling could i have conceived with me still having a normal

Accepted Answer

YES: "Twelve days" before your expected period may have been your "fertile" phase and a menstrual period may follow WITH A PREGNANCY! ("uncommon" but not "impossible" REPEAT YOUR PREGNANCY TEST NOW! and if negative FIND a more "certain" way to obtain birth control if that's what you want!
Hope this helps!

Question 6

is it normal to have cramping right after period ends?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Cramping before during and right after the cycle is quite common.

Question 7

minor/moderate cramp after period - what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Uterus contracting : Your uterus is contracting its muscular part.

Question 8

is it normal to have cramps following intercourse 2 days after period finished?

Accepted Answer

No: No, I would not expect intercourse to cause cramping. Having intercourse soon after finishing your menses also could not cause cramps. I suggest being seen to determine of there is another reason for cramping, such as an ovarian cyst or pelvic infection.

Question 9

period lasted longer than usual (7 days) usually lasts for 4 - 5 days went very brownish onto my underwear without a pad bad cramps day after period?

Accepted Answer

Cycle changes: may be due to hormonal fluctuations which will also cause the cramping. I suggest a GYN evalaution. You can use Advilor Aleve (naproxen) for cramping and bleeding until seen by your GYN. If sexually active, get a pregnancy test.

Question 10

is it normal to have cramps a day after period?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, one can have cramps at any time.  Paracetamol and a warm compress may help relax the muscle contraction.
