A member asked:

I had unprotected sex then came on my period the next day normally i am now experiencing cramps 2 weeks before my period what's going on?

Ovulation: Cramps two weeks before your menses is likely mittelshmerz, or the pain of ovulation. It is a fairly normal thing experienced by most women. Over the counter medications such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen can be helpful for this.
