Awful cramps (and TMI in places)

[MaisyPops]

I normally have reasonably light periods and other than a bit of bloating and sore boobs tend not to get PMT.

Today AF arrived (so that's me out for the july bus).
Despite lighter flow (1 pantyliner all day) and normal colour etc this morning, the consistency is different this afternoon. It's almost like clear CM with spotting.

I feel rubbish and have wasted a day today sitting around feeling sorry for myself.

Any ideas why I might feel so rubbish? And what works for stomach cramps because this is unlike anything I've had.

Have you checked a pregnancy test

No because my period's shown up. Last time I had spotting a month or so back I did one and it was negative so I've figured that my period actually arriving would be a fairly resounding BFN.

Yes but you said it's really painful and the fact it's spotty then bleeding I would be checking its not a miscarriage / implantation

Buscopan works for cramps

Ah right. I think I'd explained it as what most women get each month (being lucky and not suffering it's a bit new to me).

I'll get a test tomorrow and see.

Thank you

Buscopan paracetamol in mean time

How are you coping
