Hi!
It is possible that you are going to have your period early this month.  It is possible that your symptoms are related to your GI tract.  If the pains worsen or persist, it might be worth checking in with your doctor, to rule out such things as pregnancy, infection, ovarian cysts, etc.
Good luck!
