Menstrual cramps are really quite unique as they are essentially the uterus contracting to expel menstrual blood. Often you can get intestinal pain which can mimic period pain because of the way your body is wired. Also... the whole area tends to get irritated either when you are menstruating or suffering a minor intestinal upset. I wouldn't be too focused on getting cramps just yet. Wait until you start periods and then worry about it... if you do. Who knows, you might be one of the lucky ones! <_<No, I haven't. I've never gotten a cramp before. Ever. I know the difference between a real one and an imaginary one, this one was real.
