cramps

Unread post by ricoyun »

Good day. I have a question. Does cramping after ovulation mean anything? Is it related to pregnancy or is it PMS? We didn't have sex. I just only touched her butt during the 12th or 13th (oct. 27) day of her cycle. I did not touch my penis at that time. Also we were clothed. I just inserted my hand inside her underwear. She experienced cramping 2 weeks before her period (oct 31). So is it PMS or should I worry of pregnancy? Please respond :(

Hi Ricoyun,

Cramps can be related to lots of things, not just PMS, so there's no way for us to know why she's cramping. It sounds like you might need a refresher on how pregnancy does and does not happen, so check this out! : Human Reproduction: A Seafarer's Guide

I went nuts because I have read a link saying that cramping after ovulation is one indication that a woman is pregnant. But I'm sure that no semen was involved in that play. So the cramping occurred is not related to pregnancy?

Again, there is no way for us to know what is causing the cramps. You're correct that what you did posed no pregnancy risk, so you can rule that out as an option.

It sounds like engaging in this level of sexual activity is causing you anxiety. Have you two discussed ways of scaling that activity back to a level where you're more comfortable?

sorry for the late reply. actually yes we've talked about this matter. it's just that i get so easily afraid whenever i hear cramps or other symptoms of pregnancy and menstruation. they are almost the same that's why i get so paranoid. anyway thanks for your time Sam W!!
