A member asked:

How long should you cramp on the one side after ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

24 to 48 hours: Most women cramp 24 to 48 hours. Some women who have endometriosis may cramp for longer time and almost up to their period or till they have a positive pregnancy test. some women with a cyst may also cramp longer.
