Why have I started experiencing really bad menstrual cramps when my flow seems normal and there's nothing obviously wrong with my body? It's weird because I never had cramps before, and none of the other women in my family, except one aunt, have dealt with this kind of pain. I've had various infections in the past like small intestinal and urinal infections, but those were two years ago, so I'm not sure if there's any connection. It's frustrating because I've seen multiple doctors, and they haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of my problem. Could there be a link between my past infections and these cramps?

Question

I'm wondering if having typhoid can actually delay your periods. Also, could all the antibiotics and medicines I've been taking, plus the weakness from being sick, be affecting my cycle too?

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?
