I am on the pill. The last time I had sex and he finished inside me was the second week of January. On the fourth week of January I started getting cramps a few days before my reminder week and my period. I also had some brown discharge. This worried me a lot, but then on Monday I did get my period like I was supposed to, but it was heavier than usual. It ended that Thursday. The fact that I did get my period should have eased my nerves but for some reason I am still so nervous about it. I have felt bloated and gassy ever since I started cramping the week before my period. Is this normal? Could it just be the birth control?
