Take a test: Pregnancy tests are widely available in the drug stores, although not as accurate as a blood test from your doctor. Please test as soon as possible and begin prenatal vitamins, and whatever else your doc recommends so that you and baby can be as healthy as possible during and after the pregnancy .

Question 7

can period cramps be constant with little-to-no let up when your period first starts every month? or should they be intermittent and come & go?

Accepted Answer

Could be constant: Your doctor can prescribe pills that would limit your period to once in three months to once a year. If you are not trying to get pregnant you may wish to discuss this option with your doctor.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Wish you good health!
