what is wrong with me?

well my problem is that right now i have bad period cramps. last night i had awful pain in one side which my friend said was me ovulating. i also have breqast tenderness and i am seriosuly bloated. im confused because i have NEVER had a problem with pms before...literally i dont usually even get a slight twinge before my period. im not even due on for another 2 weeks. my question is why have i suddenly got pms symptoms when i have never had them before? is it normal to not have any all your life and then suddenly one month have loads of symptoms?? also, does going on the pill reduce pms symptoms by any chance?
thankyou

I never had any problems at all on the pill, so it could be an option for you. also the benefit of knowing EXACTLy when your periods will be and you can skip one if you need/want to.

Have you had a change in your diet at all lately? Stress can do it too, so have you had exams or anything?

Hey, don't panic because your hormone levels are changing and this may explain it. I'm the same- sometimes I am crippled with pain, other times I get nothing. It's really anoying and unfortunate but it's just damn biology...

Another thing- is there a chance you could be pregnant? Not to worry you at all, but that may explain it. (Please please don't panic when I say that- I have no authority over this- just a thought that popped into my head!)

The best thing, if you're worried, is to go and see your GP :smile:
