No One Knows I Guess!!!
I dont know if anyone knows the answer to this really. Because no one has yet to give us any advice. If I were to take an educated guess I would have to say it might be because of the intercourse itself. Maybe he was going to hard or you were doing the "deed" in a position that really made you workout that part of your body. Which in turn causes cramping. I am not pregnant yet I dont think!!! But I will let you guys know if and when I do turn up pregnant. Good luck!!!

Cramps After Sex
Last month my hubby and I had unprotected sex (oops!) while I was ovulating, and for the next day and a few days afterwards I experienced painful menstrual like cramps. I thought for sure I was pregnant and took a test just before I was due to get my period. It came back negative and 2 days later I did get my period. Then once again, sex during ovulation, this time my hubby wore a coat!! And the next day cramps. I am not a doctor, but my guess is that I may have a cyst and ovulation combined with intercourse sets it off. I'm not entirely worried, more releived that I wasn't pregnant (have 2 beautiful kids and want to stop while I'm ahead!!). I do plan to see a doc, though. My advice? Conception is not painful, and does not cause cramps. Take a test to be sure, but see an ob/gyn for any other possibilities.

Don't worry
If this is the first time you had sex then your period being late is nothing to worry about in your situation. Sex can screw up even the most perfect of cycles. So can stress so I wouldn't stress cause you'll just make it more late. If you really need a peace of mind go buy an over the counter pregnancy test and take it in the morning.

After four abortions you don't deserve to have a child.

BelleFleur,
Don't worry, abortions have no effect on your fertility. Give yourself some time, and if you don't get pregnant after a year of trying, you and your husband can get evaluated. Good luck!

cramps after unprotected sex...
I had unprotected sex last night, it was my first time and today I have been having cramps. They feel like menstrual type cramps and its odd because I've been needing to see a doctor because I haven't had a period in nearly five months, but never been sexually active until last night so, I'm worried...but I read something else that cramps within the first few hours after unprotected sex could indeed mean pregnancy because it is the fertilized egg implanting itself...however, because I have not had a period in so long prior to having sex for the first time, I'm kinda doubting if I am pregnant or if its just an after sex side effect...guess I will know in a few weeks :/

AYE!
AHHHH girls! Please stop having sex before your married and you will never have these FEARS of being pregnant! Because once you are married, when you find out your pregnant it will be a miracle and blessing from God. Then abortion wont be an issue, or miscarraiges or anything like that. Women who have abortions are much more like to have depression and possibly commit suicide than women who don't.

ok abortion is a choice! unprotected sex is a choice! thankyouverymuch!! the only thing multipal abortions may do is create scar tissue which will make it harder for sperm to enter the cervix.. And depending how old you are and what time in your life you end up getting pregnant no matter if it was an accidental thing or just pure stupidity!! what matters is you made that choice for you and noone else.. I am 30, been married and divorced had one abortion when I was 20 in college with one year to go before I graduated there was no way I was bringing a child into this world when i wasn't ready!!! I got pregnant by accident we used double protection and they both failed the pill and condom... so things happen..

So I do believe abortion is definitely WRONG!!!! What about that babies choice? Did you ask that baby if it wanted to die? And 2nd getting pregnant whiled married is not always a blessing, some people can't afford it or its just not the right time.

In some cases i think its necessary
Well I think people should take those extra precautions to not get pregnant if they know they can't handle it. Ladies its just time to grow up and not be so irrisponsible. But I'm in the same boat as most of you. I'm 21. And me and my boyfriend have unprotected sex all the time. I have a tilted uterus and he barely cums when do it and never cums in me. I wasn't really worried about getting preg but my period is late which is normal for me (sometimes its even 2 months late) and I've been cramping for a couple weeks now like I'm about to start but i never do. And this past week after sex I've been having pretty bad cramps but they ususally go away after 20 min or so. My bf just mentioned today that he thought my breasts looked bigger. I took a pregnancy test and i it was defective cuz the whole little window turned a bluish color. it was neither neg or pos. What do you guys think? Do I sound preg? Should I just relax and wait to see if my period comes or should I hightail it to the doc?
