Until recently, I had not had a period for roughly 12-14 months, and now my period has returned again. It appears to be a normal cycle, however the cramps are a bit more painful than I remember. Is this normal?

This is actually very common and can happen several times before your periods stop for good.

Periods can be caused by a hormonal blip, stress, illness, medication etc, however, it is a good idea to get it checked out by your doctor as well.
