What Causes Delayed Periods, Stomach Cramps, Pain In Upper Abdomen While Trying To Concieve?

i have been trying for a baby and had sex around ovulation. i come on my period a day late but my period is not the same as usual. it was really heavy for 24 hours and then stopped for 12 hours then there is only a small amount of blood there now. also i have really bad stomach cramps and stabbing pains at the top part of my stomach just before where my rib cage meets. i normally have a 7 day cycle and i never have any types of pains normally. could this be something to worry about?

Hello ,
You are having regular periods .
Upto +/- 7days is considered regular periods.
But if you feel the amount of blood is heavy / with severe cramps(previously absent)/ dark maroon or brown color/ with brownish discharge - kindly rule out either an infection around uterus (PID) or endometriosis. You have to consult a gynecologist . If infection, you & your partner have to take medicines for it.
These problems can be corrected & will not affect your pregnancy prospects.
All the best
