It was periods.

I understand your concerns.

If you had normal flow, that was your periods and nothing else.

I don't think you are pregnant.

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are right.

Last period was early because of ipill. I pill causes early periods.

The cramps are likely during periods occasionally in some women.

Don't worry about pregnancy.

If you still suspect pregnancy, why don't you think of doing home pregnancy test.

Brief Answer:
You can test now

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I don't think there is pregnancy possibility.

You can do pregnancy yest at home right away and if negative don't worry about pregnancy.

This pain is occasionally possible in women during menses as part of premenstrual tension. Don't worry about it.

Let me know pregnancy test results.
