Generally menstrual: Cramping is in the lower abdomen, where the uterus is located, the organ that's cramping. If its right under your sternum then you could be having acid reflux. Consider the birth control pill and generic zantac (ranitidine). If to the right it could be a gallstone but ur a little young. I would get seen, u need some form of contraception and my hunch is that upper abdomen is GI related. Gd luc.
