I have been having minor cramps all day but i am not suppose to start my period for another week, i had sex 5 days ago... what is going on?

Hard to say: Obviously, cramps can be from many things including your period, they can also be from the GI tract, or kidneys. Periods can also be irregular even in folks who have regular menses. You seem to relate it to sex, so i would ask what your concern might be. I would encourage you to ensure your partner uses a condom to protect against pregnancy and infection, or at least address contraception.
