Ive been having cramps

[sweetheart543]

Hi everyone,

i would really appreciate somones help.

i am currently on the patch, and have been for a couple months now.  a couple days ago i woke up in the middle of the night to these painful cramps, the only thing i could do was take advil and put a cold cloth on my head. the next night i woke up to the same problem. its been about 5 days now, and though the cramps havent gone every night ive been seeming to get them during the day now aswell, usally when im sleeping/napping but it has also happend when im awake.

I have had unprotected sex, and an scared of what this could be. my period is due next week so im hoping it is a sign of that? yet i have never had this before.


if anyone can help me that would be great, thank you :)

hi,  i had a friend who like you was on the patch and experienced aweful cramps during the day and at night,  she went to the doctor who gave her some painkillers and told her to monitor it untill her period started to see if that made a difference......guess what her period didnt show and it turned out that she was two months into a pregnancy.   This may not be the case for you but i would cerainly advise an appointment with you GP and maybe a pregnancy test just to rule it out.  from experienc i know doctors arent keen on pregnancy tests while using contraception so maybe a home one just before you are due to settle yourself and for piece of mind also.  You may not be pregnant but just have a n appointment with GP ad either way you should get some relief and a better nights sleep.

Hope this was in some way helpful.......do let me know how you get on

best wishes
