Question: do you normally get cramps a week before your period?
Answer: Cramping a week before your period is usually not a symptom of PMS. Implantation cramps feel very similar to menstrual cramps and usually occur 10-14 days after conception. Other reasons you may be cramping are constipation, post-coital cramping, a cyst, endometriosis, fibroids, or a UTI.
