A member asked:

Why have i been getting menstrual cramps and lower back pain but no period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check a test: If your period is late, menstrual type cramping and low back pain could be associated with a pregnancy if you have been having unprotected intercourse. Check a pregnancy test and, if it is negative and your period still hasn't started, repeat it in 3-5 days to be sure. Hope this helps.
