Elizabeth, it is not unusual to have cramping following sex. This us usually the result of the uterus cramping in response to the normal sexual response. You can attempt to remedy this by taking an ibuprofen prior to sexual activity. Regarding a potential pregnancy, there should be no relationship, but I would get a test if you continue to not get your period... Lynn
