stomach is very stiff-like...

Hi, I sometimes have the same problem. first of all, my breasts almost always get reeeally sore and a lot bigger when I am about a week away from starting. Bloating is pretty common for me too..I noticed that if I drink a lot of coffee it makes the bloating worse. Try cutting back on any caffeine? Also, the stress could be the main problem. Try getting onto a daily vitamin routine, it helped me. Exercise can also help relieve stress. Oh and something I recently found helpful progesterone cream! Basically something to do with the estrogen/progesterone levels in our bodies before and during our periods...the progest cream helps regulate your periods and it helps with pms. it's worth some research.
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the reply. Im glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue!

do a second testing to be sure.

I've done about 4 - I'm glad to say my period came, but having some weird symptoms. Hm. Thanks for the reply!
