Some women do experience abdominal cramping a week before their period is due.
It's normal to experience menstrual cramping prior to your period arriving. Some women also experience menstrual cramping after their period has finished and this is normal for them.
No, it is PMS.
No. Cramping before and during your period is normal, but not after. You should see a doctor.
no
sounds like PMS to me
Totally normal to have cramping before and after
It's more likely to be a sign of your period being about to arrive. However, take a pregnancy test if you miss your period
Depends on the severity of the cramping. Cramping like its your period is normal. watch for other signs.
Hi I hAVE HAD THE SAME THING! HAD A SMALL PINK SPOTTING 1 WEEK BEFORE PERIOD AND CRAMPING THAT FELT MENSTRUAL THROUGHOUT THAT WEEK.. ON THE DAY THAT MY PERIOD WAS DUE, I HAD BROWN DISCHARGE THEN NOTHING. THE NEXT EVENING IT WENT A RED COLOUR AND STAYED THAT WAY UNTIL THE FOLLOWING NIGHT WHEN IT WENT BROWN AGIAN AND STAYED THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS...NOT HEAVY BROWN JUST LIGHT FADING TO JUST THERE WHEN I WIPED. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED ALL WEEK BY MILD CRAMPING AND THEN THE CRAMPING GOT STRONGER AGAIN WHEN THE BROWN DISCHARGE ENDED. I AM USUALLY REGULAR AS CLOCKWORK AND ONLY GET CRAMPING WHEN MY PERIOD HAS STARTED AND I AM ON MY HEAVY DAYS. I AM 37 AND CONFUSED! ANY HELP OR ADVISE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
You are probably ovulating
Pregnancy symptoms can start as early as the day of conception, if it is a week before your period there are tests you can take a week before your period that will tell you if you are pregnant or not but a definite sign is a missed period.
It can happen at any time of the month but usually cramping occurs just before or during your period.
