Crampy and achey 2 days after sex, pregnant?

I had my paraguard (copper only) IUD removed the day after ovulating (I was tracking with the pee sticks and am certain) and had sex that night- Friday. I had a bit of cramping about 4-5 hours after the IUD removal. Then no cramps at all on Saturday or Sunday morning. It's now Sunday evening and I feel very crampy and bloated and achey. It feels pretty much exactly the way I do mid-month every month, which I have previously assumed were cramps from ovulation. However, I ovulated 3-4 days ago but have the cramping *now*. My breasts feel normal. Have other people experienced similar symptoms --cramps a few days after sex-- and been pregnant? This (would) be my second child and I conceived on the second go-round with my first baby, but I don't remember whether I had this symptom or not. Any comments/experience you all have had would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think you're pregnant. It could be your body getting back on track after having the IUD removed. I just went through all the stuff about the IUDs because I'm supposed to get one but I can't yet not until I find out if I'm pregnant or not. You're most fertile days are the day before and day of ovulation and just 2 days afterwards you wouldn't be feeling anything yet. However you can get pregnant but you won't know for the next 2-3 weeks for sure
