A member asked:

I got a positive ovulation test yesterday and the day before. we had sex 4d ago & yesterday. i'm having a lot of pms like cramping today. what gives?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: Pms like cramping a day after a positive ovulation kit is most likely due to ovulation. Ovulation usually happens a day or two after a positive ovulation kit and for some women it is associated with pain. Good luck on the pregnancy test.

Is it possible to ovulate on the pill? Or can you have PMS cramps 2 weeks before your period? Cramps are relieved with OTC pain meds.
