It really depends on the length of your cycle? As well if you have a chance of pregnancy. If there is i would take a pregnancy test when AF is due. If not it could be PMS symptoms, every now and again your hormones change and symptoms of PMS change with it. Endometriosis may be the culprit. It can cause abdominal cramping much earlier than your period. It could also be implantation cramping as the result of pregnancy. You may want to pay special attention each month to see if you have cramping around that same day and talk to your OB/GYN about endometriosis.
not necessarily . But keep check on your cycle ,if you miss your period you surely could be
After a woman enters puberty, her cycle begins. At the end of the cycle (which is plus of minus 28 days) the bloody inner lining of the uterus breaks down when the egg was not fertilized. The liquification of that bloody lining is what is expelled at the end of the cycle (period). The uterus contracts to help the bloody lining expel. The uterine contractions are what cause the feeling of cramps.
See an OBGYN.
Your period
If you are a female, you can get your period or menstrual cycle. Some of the symptoms of getting your period include: cramps, bloating, and mood swings.
Yes. Your uterus is still shedding it's lining, menstruation stage of the menstrual cycle can continue after your period.
you could be feeling or have felt slight attachment pain, some women feel period like cramps when the fertillised egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. it could be a early sign of pregnancy but does not indicate that the pregnancy will attach successfully in which case the egg will leave with your normal period.
abdominal cramping can be caused by menstrual cycle, bowel movements and even gas bubbles
well actually when you ovulate you are considered 2 weeks pregnant already (based on the regular period cycle of 28 days). So week one you are on your period which is normal to have cramps. Pregnancy cramps dont come tell atleast 3 plus weeks in pregnancy.
Bloating and tenderness, cramps in the abdomen, headaches, irritability and ultimately vaginal bleeding are all signs of the onset of the menstrual cycle.
Because of the contractions of the uterus (when the blood of the menstrual cycle has to go out). :)
If it's just the cramps without the bleeding, you are probably ovulating. In an average cycle, ovulation happens around 14 days before (or after) menstruation, and in some women it can cause some cramping.
