cramps without period

I am experiencing period like cramps for the past few days and i am not due to have my period untill next week (11th jan) my last period finished on the 19th dec.  I was on 5 day course of antibiotics which ended on the 20th dec.  I am on the pill.  I had unprotected sex on the 26 and 28 of dec. I am aware that antibiotics affect the pill and that extra protection must be made for 7 days after stoping antibiotics but i had sex 6 days afterwards and i wasnt protected my a condom.  I have looked at other websites that tell me that period like cramps are an early sign of pregnancy and i am quite worried as i have never experienced period like cramps without a period before.  I doubt my period will come (if it does) untill i am due next week because my periods are always regular.  I do not have anyother symptoms.  I really need someones help as i have tried other forums with no luck and i would be very very greatful if someone could help me and let me know if this cramping is normal or if i could be pregnant.  Please some one help me as i am quite worried

I think your extreme cramping could be in relation to having HPV.  HPV is a virus and there are actually over 100 varieties - some cause genital warts while others can cause cancer or polyps.  You need to go to a gyno to see if you have any visible signs of HPV that might need to be surgically removed (cysts/polyps, etc) and checked to make sure they are benign.  HPV can lie dormant for a long time, but if you have been monogomous with the same guy for 2 years, then although I am sorry to say this, but there might have been some cheating going on if he passed it to you (I'm not sure how long you have been diagnosed).  Anyways, go to the doctor and I wish you well.

Hi, just wondering how long you waited to test? I've been having cramping for about 4-5 days now, subsided a little just today. Just started feeling nauseous/retching also today. Breast are a bit tender. Dizzy, headachey and irritated! Basically I have been feeling as though I'm about to get my period any moment now but haven't and I generally only get PMS cramps 1 day (2 max) before my period. My last period started 28th June but my cycles tend to last up to 40 days. We had unprotected sex since 22nd July, so I'm thinking I'd be too early to test now... It's driving me crazy not knowing though!

Hi Everyone,

I left a comment a few days ago and thought I'd update as I noticed no one else really does and I'm hoping it'll help a few of you as I was really puzzled by it all!

I read through nearly all of the comments on here saying most got negitive tests..  Mine was POSITIVE today! :)  I read up on the pains which said they were 'implantation' pains for the early stages of pregnancy (after which are usually picked up on pregnancy tests as your hormones are strong enough.  I used the advice of someone on here to wait as long as I could.  My pains stopped after after 5 days which, i read should last on average between: 1-5 days. This happens around the 4th week of pregnancy aparantly, so i'm now in my 5th week...

Not sure if this will help but I thought I'd write down how I felt the last week:

Nauseous - (PSI bands or Sea Sickness bands from Chemists)
Sore teeth (I didn't have sore breasts, just a tender spot on my right one)
Backache
Stomache Cramp (exactly like period pain)
Feeling Tired all the time!  But not sleeping very well.
Odd Headache
and milky discharge (sorry).  I read this is one to look out for for signs.
Peeing more often
Sensitive to smells like meat.... (uncooked ;)
Thinking seems to be too much effort this week.... Not sure if thats just me.

I'd recommend waiting as long as you possibily can even if it's a few days, I know how hard it is!  Plus don't pay attention to any pregnancy tests that say you can use it anytime.  Use it for your first pee of the morning always!

Hope this helps! and good luck for whatever outcome you are praying for :)

I have also been getting alot of milky discharge (sorry i now its gross)but i would appreciate it if ANYONE could give me advice.

Hi,

I need some help too please!  I have had really bad cramping for about 4-5 days now, just like period pain but no period which couples really nicely with the constant backache! :) Even wore a heatpad all day yesterday! Today I feel really run down and nauseous.  We have been trying to concieve but I'm only a couple of days late and don't want to jump to the conclusion of pregnancy due to dissapointment.

Any help would be great thanks! :)

Hi, I'm a 30 year old female. I am NOT pregnant. I have a history of having pretty severe menstrual cramps during my period. But the last couple of months I've been experiencing pretty constant menstrual-like cramping no matter what time of the month it is. These cramps feel much less severe than the cramps that I get on the first day of my period. But they are still bothersome, and more so they're beginning to concern me. I don't understand why I suddenly always feel like I'm about to start my period at any moment, even when it's not due. So far, I haven't had any unwarranted bleeding. Nor has my flow changed when my period actually arrives.

I've tried to look online for some answers, but everything that comes up is about pregnant women experiencing this. I am absolutely NOT pregnant. So has anyone experienced symptoms like this? Is it some sort of early menopause symptom?? Am I going to need a hysterectomy??

Thanks in advance for tales of experience, etc.
