Do women with certain body types have worse menstrual cramps than others? A poll.

Don’t have a period anymore but when I did I never had cramps. My periods only lasted about 3 days and never had a heavy flow. I always wondered what everyone else was always complaining about. I was on the pill for 20 years. I had the same type of periods whether on or off the pill. But then when I turned 40 LOOK OUT! I started bleeding heavily and ended up having a partial hysterectomy because of fibroids.

I’ve always been about average in height and weight…5’4", at my lightest adult weight I was 110 lbs - heaviest 145 lbs. Somewhat curvy I guess.

I’ve had them from the git-go through the changes in my body type; when I first started, I was a scrawny little thing (5’ and always “small” for my age), and now that I’m older and fatter (5’2" nowadays), they haven’t abated.
