Hi,
Yes, this is a problem. The stomach cramps are associated with periods or retained products of conception which are not there according to the ultrasound. This means that your doctor could be right that you be having periods coming back though you soon. Your blood works are good so no need of much worry. Take some pain killers and give it few days. If no improvement the consult obstetrician or gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
