Cramping anyone? (6 months PP???!!)

I posted this in Pregnancy 18-34 but no one responded.  Is anyone still having cramping?  I'm not breastfeeding (and haven't for 4 months now) and on birth control.  I went for annual pap appt. a few weeks ago and was having this cramping, plus never got my period.  My doctor said with the pill I'm on I may not get a period. He also said he can't feel any cysts or fybroids, so they aren't big enough to be causing me too much pain.  I'm just crampy all day long, not painful just annoying.  I'm wondering if I'm pregnant or if there is something else wrong.  Can my uterus still be contracting? I am going to the gym and have been losing some inches (must be gaining muscle because there is no weight loss).

Thanks for any input, I'm just a little unsure as to what is going on.  I think if I miss my period again I'll test just in case.  Assuming that is negative I think I'll ask for an u/s just to determine if my fibroids are getting bigger or if there is something else going on.

I stopped breastfeeding also 4 months ago...but I got my first period 5 weeks after I gave birth. However, I have noticed that right before I get my period I get sooo very crampy and it lasts all throughout my period. This never happened before I had Caiden, so it *****.
Have you still not gotten your first period? I also just found out that I have a tiny fibroid, they just determined today that it was nothing to worry about but may be why I have been cramping a bit more during my periods. I hope you figure it out and feel better!

I have Mirena IUD right now, and that causes cramping.  

With my other two PP, I don't remember cramping.  I wish I could help you =(

Let us know what you find out Monday or before.

Well the doctor told me to stop my BC now and then start them again on Friday.  He said if I do or don't get a period and am still crampy to call him on Monday.  So we'll see.

Hmmm,

I would say probably means you're about to have a period.

If you don't in the next week or two, maybe check with your Doc again.

I'm crampy too. Still breastfeeding though, and no sign of AF. Tested negative last Friday.

I would say no to the 'uterus still contracting'.
