Yes, it's very normal. Actually, it is to be expected. Aches and pains are symptoms of pre-menstrual stress, which occurs about a week (sometimes 2) before your period. It's nothing to worry about, although it does cause some very bad aches, especially in the lower stomach. Tylenol, Advil, Pamprin, and Midol are medicines that are based around aches, pains, and period pains.

Two weeks prior to your period (the midway point) is the point at which a woman ovulates and drops an egg. One week prior to the period women should not be cramping or have pain. Normal cramping should happen less than 2 days prior to a woman's period. Anything beyond that should certainly be looked at by your doctor.

Yes it is normal to have some cramping. Your ovaries are ready to drop that little egg! Isn't it just all so wonderful to be a woman! Ha, ha.

If the cramping is very severe and stops you from functioning please seek out an examination by your physician. Sometimes women can have what they call "Endrometrosis." It can be painful and there are medications for these things. It is not life-threatening.

Try drinking a lot of water, exercising and eating well. Bananas are very high in potasium and you should be eating one a day a week before your periods. Go to a high-rated health food store and talk to one of the gals in there. Magnesium/Calcium is excellent for this and so many other natural sources to make you feel a little better.

It's normal to experience menstrual cramping prior to your period arriving. Some women also experience menstrual cramping after their period has finished and this is normal for them.
