Hi, so I have had my period since I was 10 or 11 and I am now 23, and I've never had severe pains before. In fact, I never even felt my first cramps until I was probably 18 or 19. (Lucky or is that bad? Hahah). Well, this morning, I woke up like normal and went to the bathroom to poop (Regular Roxy, over here) Then I felt some cramps. Checked my period app, and I am 5 days early. I had an abortion just over a year ago at 10 weeks via the pill, and was checked to make sure nothing was left behind. So while I am sitting on the toilet, waiting to finish my poop, the cramps suddenly worsen to match the pain of the abortion I had. The exact pain. It was so severe I became light headed and started puking. This lasted for about an hour. Yet no blood appeared until 3 hours later. I have steadily had cramps throughout the day and into the night that are worse than usual, but not so severe. It is now 11:17 here, and I am laying down to bed. I hope this isn't something that is uncommon for many women as they get older or that I need to worry about. 

Thanks,
