I have been on birth control for three years now and have been taking it consistently and correctly. I have found that after having unprotected sex and my partner ejaculates inside, I have cramping the next day. I have now had cramping for five days and was wondering if this is normal. I was at the end of my pack when the sexual intercourse took place and went right to my next pack. I shouldn't be pregnant, right?

Pregnancy is unlikely but checking with a home urine pregnancy test wouldn't hurt and may be reassuring. The cramping could be due to an ovarian cyst which may be tender whether it has ruptured or not, but ovarian cysts that rupture may cause pain. Semen contains prostaglandins which can cause some cramping, and the other possibility is that if you did not acheive orgasm you may be developing what is known as pelvic congestion, where the pelvic veins become dilated and inflammed. This is a tricky thing to diagnose. Making sure that you acheive orgasm by whatever means may help to prevent the cramping.

No you shouldn't be pregnant. The cramping doesn't have to do with pregnancy, but tells me that there may be some hormonal imbalance (not surprising, since you are on birth control). To help your body be healthier I recommend the homeopathic remedy Apis, which you can find at the health food store in a little blue tube, or at 1800homeopathy.com. It is the most common natural medicine for cramping after sex and can help balance your hormones. Try taking it a every day and see how you feel next time. The dose is 3 pellets.
As always, I recommend a birth control that doesn't disrupt your hormones or cause increase in certain cancers or cause weight gain or thyroid problems or hair loss. Ask your doctor about the copper ring, Paragaurd, which doesn't have these side effects, which your doctor should have reviewed are possible with oral birth control.

You and your partner must be checked for the STIs as it seems you have uro-genital infection. In addition, you must be checked for the cervical erosion or ectropion (via Colposcopy) , and for the uterine fibroids (via sonogaphy).
