Also what do you mean scientists don’t know what is cramping when I get cramps. The fuck do you mean you DONT KNOW😭

But aside from my little word salad in response to #1, know that you are not alone in cramping, you are not imagining things, it’s not digestive issues making you think you’re experiencing it.

Correct! The soft tissues in the lower abdomen are also involved in cramping, though most often (not always) not as painful for those without a uterus. Some folks (🙋🏻‍♀️) get pretty painful cramps regardless, and it’s strange indeed, but.. the body is also incredibly complicated and neat nonetheless. Period poops may also be worsened in intensity if taking progesterone. 😂
