What does this mean?

For the past few days I have been experience cramps that feel like menstural cramps?.. But I am not due for another peroid for at least 10 - 12 days yet. What could this mean?.. I was on the pill, but recentrly stoped taking it about 4 months ago... What could this cramping mean?

I think that your hormones are just adjusting from the stopping of the pill and getting regulated again. You may have irregular periods for a while. Best wishes.

It could be cramping due to ovulation or it could be cramping due to implantation (amongst a few other things). I think as you still have 10-12 days to go before your period it is more likely to be ovulation pain. I have just been to the doctor with the same thing myself and he said it was most likely ovulation.
If it carries on or gets much worse you should have it checked out.

Ovulation cramps.  Don't have unprotected sex.....
They get worse as you get older.

Funny you say that they get worse as you get older. I just asked myself that very same question last month. Granted im only 25, but have always been very intune with my body, and here lately ovulation cramps are painful...

Hello, not sure if anyone is still checking this thread.  I am just confused as to my recent symptoms.  A day or two past my last day of menstrual cycle I had a beige-ish colored discharge and mild cramping.  I usually get this and attribute it to ovulation.  My husband and I had sex the 5th,6th and 8th day past my last period.  I have been experiencing mild cramping in my low abdomen and around my belly button (only a few times) and have had a clear sticky discharge every so often (sorry-tmi) Just wondering if what im experiencing is truly more likely to be ovulation or possible early pregnancy symptoms.  Would appreciate any feedback or personal experiences.
