I’ve got this cramping feeling in my lower stomach/upper pelvic area. It almost feels like period pains expect I am not on and not due on for another 9 days.

Should I be worried?

🤔It’s possible that this might be caused by stress due to the current situation. But if it persists beyond your oncoming period, and continuous to cause concern, ring 111 for advice.

That is possible! I do suffer with extreme health anxiety unfortunately

Sometimes constipation or wind can cause pain like this - are you going regularly?

Also just thinking - sometimes we get a little cramping around ovulation time - it would suggest you're about 15 days pre-period, so perhaps you'll be a touch late this month. This is usually quite mild cramping, and passes within a few days.

I’m actually not going regularly or as regularly as I normally would. Sorry for the TMI

It's alright, I suppose I did ask! I think that's a possibility then - especially if it's quite painful. A dull ache (like diluted period pains) would be ovulation.

Try to drink more water and eat some more fibrous foods. If you have a Google, I'm sure you'll find a list of foods to encourage you to "go", and you might find one or two in your cupboard.

Not what you're looking for?
