A member asked:

I've been cramping and lower back pain and sore breast and all that. does this indicate my period coming?

Yes: It is caused by the elevation in Progesterone that comes after ovulation, but also occurs in the first part of pregnancy, or when using too much Progesterone on hormone replacement.
