I'm nearly 38 & haven't suffered with period pains until my last few is this normal to start now

I'm nearly 38 and have never suffered with period pain of any sort but my last few have had cramps, lower back pain and occasional nausea. Is it normal to suddenly start suffering with period pain?

Hi I have just come across your post..i am 34 and never have cramps until this period.. I have had pelvic pain and the last couple of months I have had some blood biggish blood clots now this time I’m also having cramps..did you get to the bottom of It?

I’m wondering the same i am 34 my periods have always been easy going no cramps etc this time I have been having bad cramps and blood clots with a heavy pressure feeling down below and pelvic pain.im going to the docs tomorrow as this is not normal for me
