pregnancy and stomach cramps?

I have an interesting situation and any help would be greatly appreciated.  I had my last "regular" period on April 14, and had unprotected sex on May 5 and 6.  I took Plan B on the 7th.  On May 13 i thought that i was having my period, it was a bit lighter and my cramps were a little more intense.  i took a hpt today (may 18)and it was negative but i still have cramps, both in my abdominal and stomach area...is there any explanation for these cramps?

It would actually be right on time to a little late for her period... She said her last one was April 14th... that's 35 days ago.

In 10-15 percent of women treated, EBC pills alter the length and timing of the next menstrual period, as well as the amount of menstrual flow. The effect is usually minor. Studies suggest that if EBC pills are used frequently, periods may become irregular and unpredictable on a more permanent basis.  Some women have breast tenderness, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, or dizziness after taking emergency contraception.  If you experience any of those symptoms for more than a week, you should seek a health care professional.

Thanks for your recommendations.  The cramps have lightened up but are still there.  If they don't go away by Sunday, then i think i will check into a doctor.  The cramps are not too intense, but it does feel like i have had a stomach ache for the last 3 days.

Could it be implantation cramps? it sounds a bit too early for another period? it doesnt happen to all womem though. i would suggest waiting till your periods due and if you don't come on the take a hpt. do you actually want to be pregnant? if not use protection to save this worry!
