I had my period Oct 5th for 6 days, Had sex Oct 11th and Oct 18th (the day before ovulation). And today Oct 23rd I'm experiencing abdominal cramps in the uterus area, I could hardly sit down. Could I be pregnant? Or is it still just ovulation? Even though my ovulation was roughly 5 days ago and did not experience this pain. I am not worried but just would like some friendly advice on what could be going on with my body. Thank you very much, look forward to ready everyone's responses.

My LMP was on January 8 . I had unprotected sex on the 17 three times and on the 19 i took the day after pill then right after that i had sex again. I am expecting my next period on Feb 5. I been feeling really tired lately with headaches and pelvic pain. My boobs been feeling different. I took a test today and it was negative. This morning i felt nauseous and loss of appetite. I only have the left ovary and i was cramping on that side.

hi im on day 17 of my cycle which began on Jan 6 and lasted 6-7days.i had intercourse on day 11 and 12 of my cycle and am experiencing lower abdominal pressure and back pain. The cramps are not as unbearable as mensyrual cramps but quite annoying. My husband qnd i have ben trying off and on two yrs..we have two already, and im wondering if this could potentially be a sign of pregancy...thanks

Hello I had my period Dec 28 to 31 roughly 4 days.
Intercourse:
Jan 3-Day 7
Jan 5- Day 9
Jan 8-Day 12
Jan 9-Day 13
Jan 12-Day 16 was gonna bs tonight but having cramps.

Based on my app I'm using im fertile from day 12 to day 17. From this morn I felt weird in my uterus area and it didn't bother much and tonight it came back enough to bother me I think it's a cramp I felt like having period. My next expected period Dec 28 (that puts me to day 31)
So I have 12 days to go and I don't know its been bugging me for the last couple hours and I don't know why if this is ovulat'n or sign of a very very early pregnancy (I'm hoping

Hi there, i had my last period on the 27 December 2014 my cycle is 24 and sometimes 26 days. according to my ovulation i was ovulating from the 3rd to the 10th January. My partner and i had sex every second day in this period now, on the day my egg came down or that i think my egg came down (i had cramps on just the one side of my ovaries) which the gynie told me is my body way of showing me im ovulating. My period is due on the 19th January another 7 days from now, but my stomach for the past 2 days has been having that period like pain on it. Does this mean the ovulation did not work and im not pregnant and getting my period, or could it be that i am?

Hi everyone, just wanted to jump in an say The same thing as well, it's 5 days after I ovulated, I had unprotected sex on 12/11/14 which is two days after ovulation , and now since this morning I've been having abdominal pain an I was feeling a little sick, but then again it's 8 days before my period should arrive .
Should I be worried ? Any advice ? Please let me know asap.

Hi chell
I had a transvaginal at 6wks and was told the same thing-no baby
However at 10wks I had a regular ultrasound & they saw the baby:-)
He is now almost 3 years old!
It may have just been too soon, hope this helps.
Good luck
