menstrual cramps worse with age

As you get older your body will change. I use to be regular, and now I I'm anywhere from 27-33 days apart. As far as discomfort, some times you will have it, and sometimes you won't. Like this month, I had NO cramps. Last month I did. Birth control can regulate your periods. When I'm on it it usually comes like clock work. So YES it's normal.

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!

When the uterus stretches it feels like menstrual cramps, mine were a but stronger than regular menstrual cramps. If they get unbearable I would call the doctor just to be safe.

Some people say it hurts like bad menstrual cramps but I never had menstrual cramps. Is there something else to compare it to so I'm prepared?

in a year, i would experience menstrual cramps from 0 to 3 times. but last january 2008, i started having menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) almost every month when i get my period. It lasts for 1 to 2 days. last june 2008, i had menstrual cramps again for 1 to 2 days. as i was about to end my usual 7 day period, i noticed that i started having my period again. so my whole period lasted for about 2 weeks. now i have my period again.

Hm, sorry to hear this. Could it be really bad menstrual cramps?

D Because I went into preterm labor with my son, and all it felt like was menstrual cramps that were coming and going, and it was actually contractions. Everything was fine this time, it wasn't contractions, just the way she was laying. I would drink some water, take some tylenol, and relax for an hour or so, if it doesn't go away, I'd go in and just get it checked out!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and have severe cramps similar to those of menstrual cramps. Is this normal? We tried to have sex and it was hurting even more during. Please help.

On average, I come on every 23 days and last about 7 days. Bad cramps have always been with me but since I stopped the birth control, I can't stand up sometimes because of pain. I can't take BM's because every time "something" starts to come out, a very sharp comes from seemingly inside my anus. I get nauseous and is a loose my appetite. I also have the worse mood swings, I get really angry and really sad a lot. My question is mainly about the sharp pains and BM's.

Menstrual cramps are normal to have and I get severe menstrual cramps on the first day of my period as well. Typically it is just from hormones that causes the cramping, as the surge will cause contractions, making her period painful. Prevention is much better than management for pain. Exercise and eating healthy can help prevent menstrual cramps to a certain point, but won't always get rid of them.

Yes but it also depends on how it is. I get some here and there but it's nothing unbearable or anything. They say it's really bad if it's like menstrual cramps or worse, or if theres really heavy bleeding. But gotta always trust your gut.

I had cramps with my first pregnancy. Felt like i was gunna come on. Now my baby 18 months old.

Yes! I had some pretty uncomfortable cramps like menstrual cramps but a little worse and id wake up at night from them. The best thing I found is a warm shower helped. Rocking side to side. Helped me alot. I thought something was wrong too until I went for my first ultrasound and saw bubbys heartbeat! I still get cramps here and their but they are very common.

Most of the time cramps are just your uterus expanding they feel like menstrual cramps. If they are worse than that though it can be a reaction to depression or medication.

Yes, thats normal. If the pain gets severe or is sharp on one side getting worse and/or bleeding, you need to get to a & e. I get the feint cramping too throughout the day but they dont really compare to period pain...i used to get bad period pain, so i use that as my indicator. Hope you feel better soon.
