Title: Weird period crampiness
Post by: Sparkles1973 on January 03, 2023, 05:23:19 PM

Hi all, can I ask another question? My periods still come monthly (slight change in length, sometimes 22 days, 28 days etc.)  But I seem to have period pains when I don't have a period, not severe but there... is this normal? Xxx

Probably.  Even now, 20+ years after my last period, I sometimes get an 'oh not again' feeling of pain. 

Hormones give rise to all kinds of weird symptoms  >:(  ::).  How bad are the pains?

Hi CLKD 😁❤ thank you!

They aren't severe, pretty mild, just curious if this could be a peri thing xx

Yes I had all that type of stuff….once I missed a month entirely but had the whole cramps and stuff like it was just ready to come the whole time!
Now I have the opposite and have periods with no PMT, lighter and very little pain whereas normally I get awful period pains.. Mustn’t complain about that development I guess.
