FYI - from one who has experienced this....

If you never had experienced cramps before, or your cramping is more severe than usual and is becoming a constant everytime you have your period I would suggest that you see a doctor and get checked. Sometimes, not always - cramps can indicate fibroids, a change in your hormones or even cysts.

I have learned from my experiences that if my body is acting different from what I considered normal for me, I will monitor what the changes are and see if there are any consistencies and get checked out.

About 2 years ago I went into the doc to get checked out because I was having unusal problems and ended up getting a hysterectomy. When they did the lab stuff, they found cancerous cells which didn't show up on a pap and didn't really have anything to do with what my problems were.

Basically, what I am trying to say is listen to your body - if what you are experiencing isn't usual, it doesn't hurt to get checked out.
