I started my peirod but it feels lie i am going to bc have been having real bad cramp and a lot of gas are those two signs getting close your beginning?

Painful cramps and increased gas are indeed signs that your period may be starting.

Prior to the onset of menstruation, the uterus contracts and sheds its lining. Prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that regulate muscle contractions, are responsible for these cramps. Increased gas production during this time can also be caused by these contractions, which can affect the digestive tract.

In addition to cramps and gas, other symptoms that indicate your period is about to start include:

* Mood swings

* Fatigue

* Headaches

* Breast tenderness

* Bloating

* Constipation or diarrhea

* Skin breakouts

The severity and duration of these symptoms can vary from person to person. For some, they may be mild and only last a few days. For others, they may be more intense and last longer.

If you're experiencing severe pain or other symptoms that interfere with your daily activities, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor. They can help determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend treatment to manage them.
