Lately I have been having more cramps in my solar plexus. I haven’t hit it or anything so I don’t know. Any ideas?

I just want to know what is the uterus doing when you get cramps? Cause’ I have been getting REALLY bad cramps today.

I have had severe menstrual cramps for the last 10 years. They interfere with my life in general! In college the nurse first recommended that I take some ibuprofen 2 days before my period but the cramps were still bad. Then she put me on the pill which solved all my problems!! I have used the pill for two years with marvelous results. But the reality is I am not sexually active. I am unnecessarily manipulating the hormones of my body, which might interfere with my fertility in the future if I am blest to meet someone I want to have kids with. This spring I decided to junk the pill. Now I have to take more than the recommended dose of ibuprofen in order to just be able to get out of the bed for the first two days of my period. I don’t want to have liver damage!!! Does anyone know any other non-toxic medication that would end my monnightmare? Please let it be legal..I tried codeine and it worked great but my source got arrested!

I started having implantation cramps on the 28th of April. I found out I was prego in may. I supposedly concieved April 1st. Had sex with a Guy April 28th. Can you get implantion cramps a day after your pregnant?

In my middle school we have to run a mile every week. I have the period right after lunch and I was wondering if their were any ways to prevent cramps that occur during the mile. I usually get a 6:20-6:40 mile time so I’m fairly fast, but I get cramps midway which really set me back. Any tips or tricks on nutrition to be eaten during lunch or in general, or tricks while running the mile?

A few days ago I thought I was going to start my period (I’m 13) because I started getting really bad cramps. I still haven’t started yet. So is there a difference between period cramps and stomach aches? And if so, how can you tell the difference?

Thanks

How low were your cramps and what did they feel like? Were they somewhat different from a menstrual cramp?

When I’m running long distance I run 2 1/2 laps and then a cramp comes from the bottom side of my stomach and cause me to lower my speed and sometimes even walk. Also, often the inside of my mouth becomes really dry. How do I get rid of the cramps and whats wrong with my breathing?

I’m 26 and have never had a cramp in my life. I have plenty of friends who endure horrible cramps. Why do some women get them and others do not?

It feels sort of worse than a normal stomach ache, and my thighs hurt, too, especially at the very top. I know this is not a lot of information but if you can try and give me a basic description if possible. I mean, it’s hard to describe pain :/ And yes I am on my period (obviously).
Thanks for the answers But can sore upper thighs be part of period cramps?
