Menstual cramps are way less painful than appendicitis. If the pain is simply unbearable, I would see a doctor as soon as possible.

they can tell if it is appendicitis by a blood test. if white cell is high it is. also it tends to hurt only on one side . the right.

It can be really hard to tell the difference, so if you're unsure you really should go to your doctor just in case your appendix is inflamed. Better to be safe than sorry!
