Sorry if this is in the wrong area, it's my first post!

This past Friday, I had my third colonoscopy. Prep was surprisingly easy, and all went smoothly once I got to the hospital.
My GI came in to talk to me as I was waking up (ugh I was not coherent!), and mentioned she took some biopsies. She also mentioned I might have slight bleeding, which doesn't much concern me since I've have had some minor bleeding recently before the colonoscopy anyway.
What does concern me is I've been having cramps (kind of feels like PMS cramps for any women reading) and bloating. Is this normal?
I don't believe I had biopsies taken last time, I did have some taken the first time but that was in 2006 and I can't remember if I was in any pain.
 
Often when i have had colonoscopies in the past during a flare, it can make my crohns twice as bad for a week or so. I am guessing this is normal though as the biopsies may aggravate the crohns? Anyway i hope some others can shed some light for you :) Feel better soon!
