I’m ftm and I have had some gnarly cramps lately that feel like what my period cramps were like (lower mid back) and I haven’t had a period since December 2023 so it makes me scared I’m going to start again. Maybe it’s just back pain?

Cramps on T are normal. I think the science is that the cycle still happens, but the eggs aren’t “released” which prevents the blood clots from being created in the first place. I’ve been on T for 3 years and still get cramps but no period. As long as your dose is stable and consistent, the blitz bombs shouldn’t drop at all.

I mean I’ve been pretty stressed lately but I don’t think much more than the usual amount?

sometimes long term stress can trigger physical responses in your body so it could be part of why youve suddenly started getting cramps again after so long without

That definitely tracks! I’ve been in a southern state in the us tweaking since trumps been in office and I’m a broke college student so I’m sure that’s got something to do with it!
