Just to be clear is period cramping normal? My last period was 6 months ago. Now monthly I get strong cramps like Im going to start, but nothing I have every other symptom like I will start but 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.
