A member asked:

Had normal periods for 3 years now 24 days apart. this one came at 31 dys and with horrible cramps what r the possible reasons for this??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulatory delay: Ovulation this particular cycle was delayed if you are not on hormonal contraception. If you are on hormonal contraception there are alternative reasons for the cramping that need to be sorted out by a GYN MD.
