I remember the first time I felt a weird cramping sensation that didn’t quite match the usual menstrual cycle timing. It wasn’t excruciating, but it was nagging — just enough to make me pause and wonder what was going on. After a week of Googling symptoms and a couple of uncomfortable days, I finally visited…
