When to start timing?

L • FTM ❤️ Jan 9

I’m having some painful period like cramps in my lower abdomen. They are uncomfortable and painful, but I can definitely talk and function through them.

They are about 1 minute long, and 5 apart... but not entirely regular.

My question is- do they count if they aren’t all that painful?

Do I go in if they keep this pattern up?
