I had sex during my periods and after 3 or 4 days i'm getting lower abdominal cramps and leg cramps and it is still continuing. I'm bit scared may I know the reason?

While it's extremely unlikely, the simple answer is yes. Women are not able to conceive whilst on their period, but sperm survives within the female reproductive system for up to five days. This means that a tiny fraction of women do have a small chance of becoming pregnant from unprotected sex during their period.
