LADIES

So last week I was bleeding a lil bit before my always regular period. Being as though it was so abnormal I took a test and got a faint line. My period was then late so I was completely convinced I was preggo until I wake up in the middle of the night to the most awfully painful cramps and back aches I ever had EVER in my life. It was so excruciating I cried. I know painful cramps are sometimes normal but not for me honestly. I finally go back to sleep and when I wake up my AF was here and Clotty. I've never had so many clotts. Normal?
