cramping on first day of placebo pills

[lycheefan]

pretty much as title says, ive been on the combo pill for about a year and usually i bleed the 4th or 5th day in but its been getting earlier like around the 3rd day in im on the first placebo day and im already getting cramping which usually starts the 2nd or 3rd day >_< is it normal for the days on which my period arrives to change? i havent missed any pills and i take them everyday, i havent had sex for about 3 or 4 months either. any advice is appreciated

Hi lycheefan! This doesn’t sound unusual or anything. If you’ve noticed that your period has been coming earlier then this could just be part of it. Sometimes people can experience cramps before their period starts—even days before. I hope this answers your question!
