The other month i was due on and I had period pains but didn't come on (i had what turned out to be a 53 day cycle so would technically say i missed my first period that month). had one 'normal' af since then but this month, i am due/overdue, now cd 32 and have had af pains for about a week, pretty strong today (and the odd other day) but no af, question - is this yet another typical peri' symptom...joy :( thanks
