Go see her doctor: You didn't mention how long your wife has been having these stomach cramps, just that they're getting worse every time. Not sure from who she got her hydrocodone ; Ibuprofen but it's time for her to go see her family doc or gyn ; get evaluated rather than try to mask w/more pain medication.

Menstrual cramps: Worsening menstrual pain, with Ibuprofen and hydrocodone, need gynecological evaluation. The gyn. Thorough exam and pelvic ; abdominal ultra sound should be in place, specially with unprotected sex. Thanks.
