Your cramps are very normal. Thats a normal sign that your persiod is coming. Also if your breasts feel sore that is another sign. Howver if you think that the pain is very bad you should perhpas consult with your doctor and maybe a new birth control pill will do you more good in which it will not cause you so much pain a week before your period. Periods suck so try and make the best of it.\nGood luck!\n=)

No this is not normal you need to see a doc and get this checked out.  Since you mentioned cramping I would almost wonder if you shouldn't call urgent care or ER and ask if they think you should be seen today or if it's ok to wait till morning and then see your doc.

Well, I'm no doctor or anything close to one but, I do know why we get hot when it's that time of the month. It has to do with hormones. I have dysmenorhia (complicated and extremely painful periods my insides get inflamed when I start. Having dysmenorhia, sometimes I start early sometimes late sometimes on time. My GYN even has to prescribe me pain pills.) Alot of women don't know this but alot of your cramps before or during your cycle is caused by ovulation. My GYN told me the more eggs you kick out during ovulation the more the pain.

It could be implantation bleeding but I suspect its not, if your getting that much discharge I would suggest you have either a very light period or your cycles been messed up and your nearly skipping a period...this can happen for different reasons, stress or even an  increase in exercise.\nIf your "normal" period has not come in a week then do an early detection pregnancy test, if this is negative then I would sit and wait patiently till your period is due again and see what happens...

Back in August I had my period for 9 days straight....constant cramping, sometimes feeling like contractions, and constant bleeding. (There was even a red ring around the toilet, gross!) Anyways, I KNEW this wasn't normal for me and went to the doc's. Finds out I have ovarian cysts which was causing this, I don't know exactly why, and not saying this is your problem, but if it's not normal for you, which it's obviously not since you are frightened, I would suggest a visit to the old doctor and see what's going on.  The worse he can say is he doesn't know and to keep an eye on it, which unfortunately wouldn't be suprising, but just knowing you went to get it checked on can help calm you down.  Good luck to you!

it could be ovulation pains since you ovulate about 12-14 days before your period.

take some tylenol (no asprin its a blood thinner) put warm towels around your tummy area, feet and the back of your neck. Drink plenty of water thru out the month to reduce cramps

I had really irregular, painful , heavy periods. i went to my doctor and she told me that i should go on birth control pills to help regulate all that. It has helped. Before when i had serious cramps, I used to lay on my back and put a pillow or a towel under my lower back. i have also found out that when i started exercising regularly, the cramps where not as bad when i had my periods. good luck and i hope you find some relief!

Mine has been the same, 4, maybe 5 days, and a little heavy for the first day or two, then very light. I've been the same way since I started when I was 9. I'm now 23, so as long as you are staying around the same amount of days in your cycle... i.e... every 28 or 29 days, you are perfectly normal. The cramps usually last a day or so, I normaly get back cramps and my breast hurt a week before I start. The stomach issues were probably just a considence, if it becomes a regular thing, like having the same symptoms for 3 months straight, see a family doctor. Hope that helps.  :-)

Women can have a whole lot of symptoms to deal with right before their periods.  Bloating, swelling of their feet and ankles, nausea, crave chocolate, mood swings and a whole bunch more.  Doctor's often contribute it to hormones.  Hormones can cause all kinds of things to women.  You are not alone.  Many women suffer this and other symptoms right before their periods.  \n\nGood luck to you and I hope I was helpful to you!

There are many different factors that could contribute to this....are you menstrating right now, or will you be within the next week or so? Many women experience breast tenderness right before or during their period. Also, have you examined it for any lumps or bumps? Most lumps are actually painless, but it doesn't hurt to check. Also, the lymph tissue in your breast could be irritated, like mine was this past week, causing breast tenderness. If you do not think this is caused by your menses, then perhaps you should make an appointment with your doctor :)

That is exactly how I felt a few months ago when I first realized something was "wrong"; I was pregnant. I thought the cramps were menstrual cramps, but it was something else. Then, the tingling in the boobs changed to extreme soreness... horrible! Congrats if this is what you want... sorry if it is not. :o)

Usually your stomach cramps will increase.  If you are already having stomach cramps, I would suggest you stay away from caffine.

>>>>>>why do some people have pain in stomach during \n>>>>>> mensuration?\n\nThat's pretty complicated to answer, but there are two broad reasons. The first is that menstruation itself is the result of the surface of the uterus pealing off. Not surprisingly that is painful for many women.\n\nThe second is that hormonal changes prior to and during menstruation affect the smooth muscle of not just the uterus but the entire digestive tract and the circulatory system. That leads to spasms or 'cramping' of the uterus as well as of the stomach and gut generally.\n\nBTW if a woman has sever pain during and especially following menstruation a visit to the doctor is recommended.\n\n>>>>is that anything to do with vagina hole size?\n\nNope, totally unrelated.

I get cramps the day before my period is about to come. My friends goes through weird food craving.  I think it all depends on how you PMS.
