Anyone cramp a lot throughout their cycle?

I get ovulation pains. I start feeling twinges around CD11 and the pain increases up to O on CD15 then eventually tapers off around CD17 and will start ramping up again around CD28 in time for my period. The only time the cramps continued was my first cycle off BCPs, and it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. I doubt very much that's what's happening to you, but if you continue to have sharp cramping on one side and you get a BFP, you might want to consult your doctor.

I cramp so much more being off BCP then I ever did before I was on them.

I cramp off and on for 3-4 days leading up to O, then it stops and then I get them again 3-4 days before AF.

I have no idea though why yours are lasting so long.

I get cramps a lot throughout my cycle, it really sucks. I swear I'm cramping half the time.

Yep. I'm 4DPO and still cramping. It's almost like a pulled-muscle pain sometimes. Every once in a while, I get a really sharp stabbing pain. It's even less fun than it sounds.

Especially when I first went of BC, I had cramping throughout my cycle, yes. Sometimes I still do, this cycle was worse because of the Clomid, but yes, I think I cramp at least 1/3 of the time of my cycle.

I am having minor cramping throughout this cycle as well as spotting. I've never experienced this before so its weird. But glad to know it seems to be normal.

Unfortunately my brain can't stay away from "DOES THIS MEAN I'M PREGNANT?!?" thoughts. So annoying.
