Couple things: If you are sexually active get a pregnancy test as this might be why you are having symptoms. Otherwise it could be you didn't ovulate this cycle and you are getting ready to have some breakthrough bleeding. If this persists see you gyn provider and if having unprotected sex consider birth control.
