Q: Cramps

I normally have a really painful first day when I get my period. The rest of the cycle has little to no cramps. I started geting cramps this month about two weeks ago. My period was due a week ago. The cramps have been almost everyday. Could I be pregnant? I heard that you have cramps when you are pregnant, but are they like period cramps? I have had other sympthoms of pregnancy, such as sore breast, cravings, unable to sleep, headachs, dizzyness, and nausea.

youre a week late, you just need to take a test and then you will know. we can't tell you if you're pregnant or not, but of course you could be, you had unprotected sex! so just take a test!

Yep well that's what it was like for me. I was expecting my period and I have slight cramps like she was coming and it never came.
Let us know how you make out.

Yep, I'd take a test!

I really had no early symptoms other than period-like cramps with no period in sight (this lasted until I was around 7 weeks). Now, I'm almost 14 weeks, and I still get period-like cramps now and then (I think from things stretching out down there).
