Periods are 4 days late and my lower back is aching dull dull since yesterday. Could be PMS also but mind keeps wondering. Did any of you have back pain as one of the first signs?
Yes beti, it can be an early sign because the body starts preparing. Rest as much as possible and drink warm milk. If the pain gets too sharp, make sure you consult a doctor.
It can be a sign, but it is also a classic PMS symptom before periods. Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Wait for your missed period and take a test.
I actually had severe lower back pain even before my missed period and thought my periods were coming! Did anyone else feel a dull ache right in the center of the lower back?
Hormonal changes like rising progesterone can cause early backache, but it's not a definitive sign. A home pregnancy test or consulting your doctor is the only reliable way to know.
My doctor at Cloudnine told me that early back pain is very common due to progesterone. I'd highly recommend calling your hospital's helpline to check if you need any safe remedies.
