Mostly just the couple days before and the first couple days of my period. When I was younger (middle and high school), I had cramps so bad that I would beg my mom to let me stay home from school. They’ve gotten better as I’ve gotten older, and the years that I was on hormonal birth control, they were almost nonexistent.
In my 20s, I used to have a lot of pain during sex. That has also improved as I’ve gotten older.
