My menstrual cramps are a sharp pain. My contractions were a dull ache. It felt totally different.
I never had any sharp pains during labor.

For awhile now, after me and my boyfriend have sex, it feels like I have really bad menstrual cramps. They last for about 15 minutes and then subside. Does anyone know whats causing this? We have both been tested for STD’s and are clear.

Because I am having some really bad menstrual cramps right now and I took some Midol but it takes a while for it to work and I need something to ease the pain while I am waiting for the midol to start working. So I need to know if the portable heat wraps for menstrual cramps really work.

I go on mile runs all the time lately in the heat of central California. After I run, about one or two minutes after I stop running, I get horrible, painful cramp in my lower region that feel like menstrual cramps, but I am 14 days from being on my period and this has happened almost every time I run lately. I am 15 and a half and I am wondering if I should get my ovaries checked for any potentially harmful diseases or conditions.

I’m 37w 4 pregnant and all day today I have been having, what feel like menstrual cramps and up until now have they gotten a bit more frequent and uncomfortable. They’re kinda based on my left side and I’m sure I’ve had braxton hicks before but these dont feel like them. What are these and should I be concerned?

I’m fourteen years old and I got my first period about two years ago.
Every time it’s that time of month, I get extremely terrible cramps (usually they are more painful the second day).
Are there any ways to reduce menstrual cramps without taking any pills or medication?
What foods or drinks are best to eat/drink during my time of month?
Is it better to drink cold or hot drinks?

Thanks for the help!

Every month I get terrible menstrual cramps. It feels like my stomach is exploding. I have already taken 6 ibuprofen today. 2 at 9:00, 2 at 12:30, and 2 at about 2:00. I have already taken a hot shower and i have a hot towel on my stomach. I heard peppermint helps so I have some altoids. I have a ballet rehearsal soon and I don’t want to be clutching my stomach in pain on the floor. Is there anything else I can do to make the cramps go away?

It feels like menstrual cramps, sometimes it hurts more in a specific area. Could it be just bad PMS that didn’t go away, or something worse? I’ve never had anything like this happen before…

And I’ve been menstruating for awhile, and this is the first time something like this has happened. Should I be worried?
I’ve been having these pains for the whole month, at least. Maybe a bit longer…
I’ve been having these pains for at least a month, maybe more… What should I do if it is just stomach pain, then?

Can you get pregnant when you have menstrual cramps before period? I am 4 days late for my period. I did check pregnancy test when I missed my period it was negative. I always have irregular periods. My husband and I are trying for a baby. We had sex while I was cramping but did not get my period. Both of my ovaries were hurting just like memstrual cramping. Can I be pregnant? I am getting some symptoms of period, but still have not got my period. Please help!

Considering that I’m allergic to acetaminophen (an active ingredient in Tylenol), I’m – for the most part – hesitant to take any medication for menstrual cramps, so I was just wondering about any home remedies available to alleviate the pain..

I can get them really bad. My thighs hurt, my lower back hurts, just everything hurts basically. Sometimes i’ll even throw up. My mom said warm brewed tea helped her, not me so much, and I’ll sometimes take 3 to 4 ibuprofen but it takes forever for that to start working. What are some other good ways to relieve menstrual cramps? (other than midol and other pills like that)

Is it helpful to massage your abdomen when you have cramps? Or what are some more ways to relieve menstrual cramps other than heat and medicine?

Also, is there a way to make your menstrual flow lighter?

I have this pain that has been going on and off for the past month. Its not menstrual and not ovulation cramps but it is very similar to menstrual cramps(dull and achy). Ive never felt this before, at least while i’m not on my period.

I’ve been on birth control for over a year.

I have like extremely high pain tolerance until I get menstrual cramps. Those are enough to get me in tears. How are menstrual cramps any different from normal pain?

Is there a birth control that reduces cramps and pimples?

i get really bad menstrual cramps every single month
before and during my period and sometimes after.

i also breakout on my chin, forehead, and parts of my back.

oh and if you on or have been on please tell me your experience on it.

thanks in advance.
