INTRODUCTION
 When it comes to menstruation, some people experience mild cramps and 
discomfort in the upper abdomen just before or during their menstrual cycle.
 Conversely, others may face severe pain that fluctuates throughout different 
times.

indicate early pregnancy rather than premenstrual syndrome.
 If you’re experiencing cramps but no period, pregnancy could be a potential 
cause since a missed period is often one of the first signs of pregnancy.

but it won’t resemble regular menstrual bleeding

the growing baby.
 During the first trimester, moderate cramping and spotting are common experiences, 
often referred to as first-trimester symptoms.
