hey all, thanks for the replies.

i don't have a thyroid problem, and i used to have some pretty bad cramps a few years ago during my period, but they are not bad anymore.

yesterday it started feeling like my period was starting but so far, it hasn't. occasional slight discomfort in my lower back and abdomen.

if the 18th was 32/28 then today is 41/28.

yeah, i really need to have this checked out.
