cramping after ovulation
by d_astate, Jan 25, 2004 12:00AM
Hello.
I have a question. What causes cramping after ovulation. I thought it was weird this has been happening for a few months now. So I started writing it down when it happened and charting my period and ovulation and sexual activity. My periods are regular (28day) and are 7 days in length. In December 2003, the cramping started four days past my ovulation and this month of January 2004 it started the day after my ovulation. I ovulated on the 20th according to the ovulation calculator. I had unprotected sex on Jan. 16th, 17th, and on the 22nd. All before and after ovulation. The cramps in December were milder and this month they have elevated to getting stronger day by day and they come and go.
What could this be?
Thank you for your time to read my post and respond.
Sincerely,

thanks,
1) when the egg bursts through the ovary this can cause slight cramping
2) when the egg bursts through is can cause slight bleeding, this bleeding irritates the lining in the abdomen I believe, but this irritation causes cramping...
Thank you for all the responses.
