It is common for young women to have irregular periods when they first begin to menstruate. This means that ovulation (when a womanâs body makes eggs) may not happen for a few months or even for a few years. So you may not have menstrual cramps when you first begin your period. After one, two, or three years, when your hormonal system is more mature, you might have more severe menstrual cramps.
Period pain is common and a normal part of your menstrual cycle. Most women experience it at some point in their lives. It's usually felt as painful muscle cramps in the tummy, which can spread to the back and thighs. The pain sometimes comes in intense spasms, while at other times it may be dull but more constant.
