I finished my cycle a few days ago. On Friday night I fooled around with a guy who gave me oral sex and fingered me pretty hard. The next day I had what felt like menstrual cramps. Today they are still coming off and on. Is this normal? Anyone else experienced this? Could it be an STD? What's going on?!

Cervical bruising!!! Never knew that was a thing. I think that makes a lot of sense after reading online. Hopefully this subsides completely. Already feels better today. Thanks!
