...help please? Right, l started my period when l was 12 and it was fine from there, obviously l skipped it a few times but l know that's normal. Anyway, l'm 17 now and for about one year, my period comes every 30 or 35 days, but lately, it has been coming on later. lt's on the 38-44 day scale and when l come on late, my stomach is really intense. lt hurts so bad, that if l bend over my stomach feels like it's ripping apart so l have to keep still and stick a heat pad on the area of where it's aching. What's up with this? lf l come on around the 30 day scale, l'm fine, just mild cramping, but when it's on the 40 day scale, l get this unbelievable pain and aches. ls this normal?

Thanks x
