I have only recently come off BC (end of April) after being on it for 12 years so I'm just learning how my body is reacting. I stopped my BC at the end of the cycle but no AF, it came after another 3 weeks, I had mild cramping 1 week prior to getting AF.

For the past 3 days I have been getting mild to moderate AF type cramps, I'm currently nearing mid cycle, no BBT rise as of yet. Last night DH and I BD but after orgasm I got painful cramps for about 15mins, where walking around distracted me from them, then it settled back down to a mild cramp.

I use to get similar types of cramps mid cycle, which were worse when I orgasmed when I had the implanon contraceptive implant. I had some investigations done which showed nothing, and the pain went after having it removed and going back to oral BC.

Does anyone else have similar experiences or advice?
