What Causes Lower Abdominal Cramping After Safe Sex?

Hello, I had protected sex about 3 days ago, it was my first time and had some light bleeding. I also, started birth control 2 weeks before, to be as safe as possible when I would eventually have sex. Even with a condom he pulled out before he ejaculated (which he didn t) but I m very aware that pregnancy can come from pre-cum. The condom did slip off a few times, but my greatest worry is that I have a small cramping feeling in my lower abdomen. I did have this before just due to the birth control, but I m unsure, and well, downright worried. Is this feeling from the birth control or potential pregnancy? Thank you.

HI ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination to rule this out, and then consider this to be due to the occasional cramps post sex due to contraction of the uterus. At the same time as you have used two methods simultaneously, the chances of pregnancy are quite less though can not be ruled out.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
