Avatar n tn I cramped from weeks 5-10 perfectly normal! I'm 36+2 now with a healthy baby boy!
Avatar f tn Within that week the symptons that I been experiencing were bloating, sore breast and back aches. I recently been experiencing menstrual cramps off and on for three days. Is the menstrual cramps a sign of pregnacy? I am due to take my blood test June 10th 2008. I am praying that this will work. In the beginning, I was kind of disappointed that only one egg fertilized but when I found out that I had a healthy embryo it restored my hope.
800104 tn?1251386237 This might sound dumb but....If I have really bad cramps and upset stomach I find some relief by having a wintergreen lifesaver/hard candy. Peppermint might work, too. I don't know what it is about it but it would help settle me. You may want to consult a gyno to find out if maybe birth control could help control your symptoms. Best of luck!
Avatar f tn I just figure it must be the meds, as I didn't have any symptoms before treatment and developed these issues right after treatment! How long do these meds stay in the system? I'm sure my body is still eliminating them?
Avatar m tn Are pregnancy symptoms the same as menstrual symptoms? I am wishing and crossing my fingers terribly that these are my usual menstrual symptoms -- white discharge, abdominal cramps, irritability, sometimes feeling constipated. What do you say?
10052131 tn?1408085538 Felt like menstrual cramps. Had no bleeding at all. Past two days the cramping stopped completely. I literally feel great! I'm almost 6 weeks. Other than a headache randomly, frequent peeing because of my water drinking, and being bloated, is this normal to feel this great lol. ahhhhh!!
Avatar f tn I am 18 weeks and have been having menstrual like cramps low in my abdomen on and off, along with discharge daily. (sorry TMI) I've read that these symptoms are normal, but I had low amniotic fluid with my last pregnancy and am just paranoid at this point. Anyone else have these symptoms?
Avatar n tn 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.
1395422 tn?1308016251 Meanwhile, the medical world has had them split into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. The mildest form of menstrual cramps are sometimes just a minor discomfort, a heavy feeling in the abdominal region. Women suffering the most extreme menstrual cramps are sometimes forced to change their regular routine for a few days. In primary dysmenorrhea, there is no underlying physical condition causing the pain.
Avatar f tn I am 4 weeks and 5 days.. and I keep having like cramps at the bottom of my stomach.. I have no real symptoms just sensitive nipples.. bloating and tiredness.. is this normal?
Avatar f tn Physical symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramps, constipation, swelling or tenderness in the breasts, cyclic acne, and joint or muscle pain have been associated with menstrual cycle. Hormone change during this time plays an important role and symptoms usually resolve when hormones stabilizes. Over-the-counter pain medications, warm compress and rest may help provide relief. However, if the abdominal pain persists, check with your doctor to rule out other causes.
Avatar m tn hi. i have horrible, horrible menstrual cramps. because i also get very bad headaches, i do not tolerate the birth control pill. i don't know what to do. neither do my gynecologists. i have tried all of the main anti-inflammatories and even narcotics, but nothing seems to work. there is nothing wrong with my reproductive system or anything, i just get horrible, horrible cramps.
Avatar f tn I am 22+2 and have been experiencing cramps reminiscent of mild menstrual cramps for the last few days. They would happen thoughout the day and always very low, right around the pubic none. Turned out to be a UTI. I didn't have any other symptoms of a UTI. Probably be good to get checked out by your doc.
Avatar f tn This morning I woke up with bad stomach pain both in my belly and near the pelvic area where menstrual cramps would be and I've been extremely nauseous. Eating has been difficult. I was wondering, can NuvaRing cause cramps in the stomach/digestive system in addition to the pelvis?
Avatar f tn False labor is braxton hicks when you aren't close to your due date. It feels like menstrual cramps and tightening but get better when you walk around and starting drinking more water. Dehydration causes them as well. Also, each pregnancy you get braxton hicks earlier each time. But if you get them every 5 minutes call your OB. Or you get more than 4-5 an hour and it doesn't ease after drinking lots of water and walking then call your OB.
Avatar f tn For a few days i was getting nasuated, peeing alot, bloated and was having like menstrual like cramps. Then eveeything seemed to vanish. Im still getting mild cramps. I called my Dr cause i have been worried and she said that as long as im not bleeding i should be fine. And the symptoms going away like that is normal.

Avatar f tn Tri-Sprintec typically causes nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, breast pain, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities and changes in your appetite and weight. Tri-Sprintec can affect your appearance and cause increased hair growth, loss of hair or freckling of your skin. It can cause nervousness, a headache and fatigue. These side effects are fortunately rather benign. However, they may become bothersome if they last for more than three days.
