A member asked:

Cramping 9 days before my period is supposed to come. does this mean it will be early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Unfortunately, there is always a chance of pregnancy with unprotected intercourse. Being prepared with some form of contraception will be your best weapon to avoid pregnancy if that is what you wish.
