Cramps

The past two evenings, both Saturday and Sunday nights I have experienced minor cramping that is associated with the Copper 'T'. I know it is the 'T' and not menstrual cramps because I have been tracking my body temperature each morning as part of my fertility awareness, and I know that I ovulated only a few days ago and should therefore not be feeling menstrual cramps yet.

On Saturday evening, the cramps were sharp and short. I treated the cramps with a hot water bottle, and a lot of laying on my back and side. I fell asleep beside my partner at 8pm. He had put on an old TV series that we like for entertainment, and I passed out because it had been a busy day. We were able to go on with business as usual in the morning. There is no pain during or after intercourse.

On Sunday, the pains were not as sharp, but were lasting for longer periods of time- mins at a time instead of 2 mins. We went for a walk and drank tea. I fell asleep very quickly once our heads hit our pillows. What I am experiencing is considered to be normal, so I'm not overly concerned at this point. I has been exactly 2 week today since first having the Copper 'T' inserted, and all is well, just a few little reminders from time to time that I am still adjusting to carrying an extra copper passenger.
