First of all let me say I am deeply sorry for this and I am telling you how sorry I am because I know that people do not really understand what a person with severe menstrual cramps goes through. They see it as "oh...its just your period? well that's a normal part of life" and it is not very nice. I have the same issue as you are outlining and I have had it for years. I am no medical expert so I do not want put any fear in you because each person and their body is different.
I have been getting a lot of egg white stick discharge lately. My pre- menstrual symptoms have always been 1. severe cramps 2. breast tenderness 3. light brown discharge. I haven't experienced any of those for the past 2 weeks except for cramps which are very light ( doesn't cause discomfort) I took a test earlier last week in the evening and got a negative result. Has anyone experienced this and actually turned out pregnant?
But there is just one problem. While im excercising whether it running on my own or at practice. I am experiencing severe stomach pain like someone is sticking a knife into my stomach. I get really gassy and have heartburn or my chest hurts. My mom seems to think it because I am not drinking enough water and I am dehydrated. I just dont think she is right because I am drinking water.
And for the last 4 days or so I have been getting severe menstrual cramps. They feel like they did when I was in the hospital. It honestly feels like contractions, that's how bad they hurt. Motrin 800 doesn't help it either.
I went to my doctor today and he said that there isn't much we can do since I'm breastfeeding. But it's to the point I'm scared to hold my little one because I don't want to drop him if I get a cramp while walking with him.
*Severe* cramping isn't normal during pregnancg.. I have horrendous menstrual cramps but I've never cramped at all when I'm pregnant. It would be worth calling your dr and seeing if they want you to come in.
I honestly have not heard that you can't run. If its mild cramps, that's normal.
m 40 years old, and judging by my older sisters and mother, I likely have another 11-12 years before menopause. Over the last year or two, my menstrual cramps have gotten much worse. I get chills and shakes, aches in my joints, nausea, headache, and massive cramps. I've tried heating pads, lots of fluids, bed rest, Aleve, and other OTC pain relief. I went to see a new midwife for my last annual about 18 mo ago and forgot to mention it to her, then felt embarrassed to call in about it.

Hi,
There's a long list of issues that can cause abdominal cramps without the presence of a menstrual period, for example: a late or irregular period, pregnancy, stress, indigestion or digestive disorders, an illness, or endometriosis, etc...Menstrual cramps are caused by the uterus contracting when it expels it's lining. For many women cramps can happen 3 to 5 days before a period begins, and also during a period.
On 5/25 i was having cramping like my cycle wanted to come down. The next day i felt my body was ovulating due to severe mittelschemerz. 5/27 I took an opk and it was positive for ovulation. On 5/48 until 6/2 i have been cramping like my cycle wanted to come down and it's not due until 6/10. I kept running to the restroom constantly checking to see if my cycle was ablut to arrive. Later that night on 6/2 my breast started to become tender and was very restless.
I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramps that feel like menstrual cramps. I don't have any spotting or anything but it feels like menstrual cramps.. should I be worried? I'm 18 and this is my first pregnancy.
ve noticed that movement as simple as walking for an hour or strenuous workouts causes me menstrual like cramps, nausea, and headaches. I've been watching what I eat and have tried cutting out certain foods, but nothing seems to make a difference. My period makes it unbearable, which we've now stopped with the pill. What can this be? What doctor should I see? My ob says she wants to wait to see if I'm in pain another 4 months before referring to a surgeon for endometriosis.
Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps, while others describe them as strong waves that feel like diarrhea cramps.

My 13 yr. old daughter has started experiencing lower stomach pains while running during PE and basketball practice. She has been unable to complete the required mile and says the pain is quite intense. She ran track last spring and was able to run more than that without any problems. She also played competive summer basketball without any problems with the running. She is 5' 7'' and weighs about 125 lbs.
