    What does it mean when you cramp a few hours after unprotectedsex while fertile? HELP

    Earlier today me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex, we always do, he usually just pulls out. He pulled out this time like always but a few hours after we did it I got cramps like menstrual cramps? I'm also fertile right now.. So does anyone know what this means? ALSO I'm NOT getting these cramps because I'm about to ovulate, I never do. This is the first time. so does anyone know what may be happening?

    Doesnt neccesarily mean anything. Could have been rougher sex. My bf and I have been trying to concieve for months now.. and I cramp all the time (he does not pull out).. so Honestly... cramping after sex.. could go either way.

      Just because you never get cramps during ovulation does not mean that you never will. I never got cramps from ovulation until about 4 years ago, now I get them like clock work every month.

      They may not mean anything though or it may mean something. If you are really concerned about it, you may want to visit your Dr.

        Like clockwork I get cramps and sore breasts from ovulation but it didn't start until last year AND to top it all off it only happens every other month. The first time I got cramps during ovulation I freaked out too.

        There's literally hundreds of things that could cause cramping. It's unlikely that sperm has implanted so soon. From what I know it ususally takes at least 1-2 days to even reach your fallopian tubes and then wait around for an egg to drop.

        The likely culprit is probably rough sex, a different position. Even deeper gentle sex can cause cramping. Some women cramp easily if their cervix is so much as nudged.
