Just to be clear, period cramping is normal? My last period was 6 months ago but I keep getting strong cramps every month. It feels like I'm going to start but then, nothing.

Period pains without a period are very common in the menopause, especially at the beginning.

Even though your hormones may be falling there is still a 'monthly' cycle, not high enough to trigger a bleed but still high enough to give period-like symptoms.

You may find a daily magnesium supplement and vitamin B Complex helpful for this.

However, if the pain continues or starts to get painful then it is best to check with your doctor as well
