anywhere from a week to a couple of days, depends on your body
Most likely it is PMS and your period will start in a few days.
Yes, but the cramping could also be a sign that you are about to start your next period. It's pretty early to tell.
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.
Bloating (water retention) Craving for sweets and/or big appetite Mood swings Headaches Fatigue Lower abdominal discomfort or cramping
Yes, mild cramping is normal in early pregnancy. For me it felt like that little bit of cramping I would get just before my period would start, the mild cramps that let me know bigger cramps would be coming. Only in early pregnancy, bigger ones shouldn't come. Mild and slightly uncomfortable, but not excruciating and dibilitating in the way period cramps can sometimes be.
Most kinds of birth control will regulate your period, but will not make them 100% predictable. You can still have spotting and periods that start a few days early, or a few days late. However, if this early period is a heavier than normal flow for you, and/or if you experience very painful cramping, you should contact your doctor.
It is your body's way of preparing for your period. The cramping should only happen at least two or three days before you start your period. If you don't start, it may have been your body releasing an egg. The spotting, is very normal. Again, your body is preparing for your period.
Cramping can happen whenever! I sometimes get cramps 2 weeks before I actually start my period. My worse cramps come the day before and the day of my period.
Bleeding and cramping like you are about to start your period can signal early pregnancy. If you have not taken a test in the last week, take one.
There is not a problem if you start your period a week early. It is completely normal for this to happen.
It is normal to have variations and healthy. If in doubt go to a health center or get a test kit.
You got your period early!
