Premature Menstruation?

My last period was on the 17th September. I should be getting it around 16th - 20th (my 'normal' cycle). But between the 1st - 3rd, I had major cramps, like I was about to get my period. But during each cramp, it didn't last long, only for about 1-2 minutes, for those 3 days.

What could it be? There was no stains or anything. Just the cramps. Is there such thing as a 'Premature Menstruation'?

I have cramps like that from ovulation. It is to the side in the area of the ovaries more than the center like period cramps.
It could be several other things though, Cysts are know to have that symptom. If it continues to be a problem, see your Dr. or OB/GYN just to be sure.
As for 'Premature Menstruation' I think that would be considered an "Irregular Cycle" if you start earlier than your "normal' cycle.

Did you have premature sex???

It could of been that you were feeling ovualtion happening. I do the same thing. I have cysts on my ovaries and when I ovulate I sometimes have some major cramps like that.

YOU ARE DREAMING

it could just be your body changing cycle style....sometimes your body will do that in your lifetime. otherwise i would suggest calling your doc and asking about it....

Are you sure they were related to your period? I've felt that before in between cycles (not often though, just randomly) and it's usually just gas or an upset stomach...and even if not, your body can randomly have aches and pains from time to time that don't mean anything in particular. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts occurring on a regular basis.

Could be a bunch of things... Are you using the pill? Is there any chance you could be pregnant? Hell, did you eat any spicey food during that time? Go see your doctor to know for sure.

Maybe you had some ovulation discomfort, some woman experience some pain during this time.

since I'm not a girl, I wouldn't know much about this sorta stuff if I didn't have so many gf's who've had this sorta problem. they think they were having premature menstration or whatever but I don't know, this question just sorta caught my eye and I'm just answering questions so yea. I know I'm no help

idk my bff jill
