Q: Pains Before My Period?

So I started the minipill about 3 weeks ago and on tues I should be due a period. Now today ive been having funny pains in my stomach. Im really blaoted anyway from the pill but im wondering if because I dont get a break like the combined pill (i have to carry on taking the pills even on my period) whether or not the pains could be from my body thinking it needs a break and to start a period......... It is like a slight sicky cramping feeling. Thanks x

The mini pill worls by increasing cervival mucus etc...

So most women still have a natural cycle and ovulate and have a period.

You will most likely have a normal period this month, and the cramping is simply pms..

You might try some hot water with crushed ginger but not hot enough to burn your mouth and put your legs up for about an hour, that is the only thing that used to help me with the cramps, I am no dr but like I said before, it helped me before.
Good luck!

Hehe thanks its not normal pms feeling.. But im alittle worried incase I dont get a period.. Because on my pill I can either have a normal period, a late/early period, spotting or no period at all. I dont like the latter seen as I like reassurance lol..... Thank you tho xxx
