I just had sex 3 days ago and I have menstrual like cramping why??
I had sex on Tuesday the 29 of October and honestly I don't know if I ovulated that day or Wed Thurs or today but on Tues like an hour before I had unprotected sex I had whitish discharge so I thought to myself maybe Iam ovulating but I had no cramping. Well anyway I had sex and my husband ejaculated in me . Then the next day I started having mesntrual like cramping and the whitish discharge continued to come out so I thought to myself maybe I'm ovulating today and since sperm can last in a woman's body up to 2-3 days, I think or hope that the sperm reached my egg! Then Thursday comes and I'm still cramping and whitish discharge still comes out and I feel bloated as if I were to get my period but I know it's not my period. And now that brings us to today, Iam still cramping and still have whitish discharge so like I said I'm not sure if I ovulated either Tuesday or the other days till today. But based on what I said, do you think there is a chance that I could be prego?

The "white discharge" makes me think what you are seeing in the creamy cm which is caused by the progesterone rise after ovulation. Therefore, you may have ovulated on Monday (or before). The cramping won't be pregnancy related if you ovulated around then because you wouldn't be able to get any pregnancy symptoms until after implantation, which wouldn't have occurred until a week or so after ovulation. Progesterone can cause all kinds of pregnancy-like symptoms though so it could be from that.
