Hi,
I'm 17-years-old and I had intercourse for the very first time today with my boyfriend...and yes, we did used a condom. Now, about 3 hours after we had sex, I feel gassy, a crampy and a little bloated. The gass is actually very painful at times. Is this normal? As for my cycle, incase thats what is causing my discomfort, its about 32 or 33 days and I'm on day 25 or 26.
Please help.
Thanks!

I'm the same way, except I'm not really gassy or crampy.
My first time was around 1 week ago and we have had sex a couple of times since then. i noticed i was very bloated around 4-5 days ago and it isn't going away. at this point it is starting to worry me and i was thinking i was prego or gaining weight or something, but if its just gas or something thats reassuring.

Dear TrueBlue92, Thank you for posting!
There is a possible reason why you may be having this crampy/bloated feeling-- your partner may be going in a little deep, "pumping" air into you during sex. This is VERY common especially with certain sex positions such as "doggy" style. The reason why you may be feeling these crampy, gassy feelings up to three hours after sex is because just as the air went in, it also needs to be expelled out. It's nothing uncommon. Also, if you are really close to getting your next period, you may start to feel bloated, but I don't think that is the case in your situation if you have never felt this prior to having sex.
