I have a cycle too. Maybe not quite as severe as yours but usually my period starts around the first of the month. Lasts about two days. Some months I've been a bit late, and since my hormone levels have varied in the past two years, some months were skipped altogether, but it's been generally consistent since about a month or two into HRT. I figured it was hit or miss to have period symptoms, but from what y'all are saying it's abnormal?? :/
My symptoms are usually increased sensitivity to temps, increased breast throbbing (oh gosh especially the first time), moody and irritable, tired, back aches, sometimes bad headaches, and I'll most likely have a crying fit. At least a couple times I was practically bed-ridden with either a migraine and nausea or aches all over (especially my back). You shouldn't be getting abdominal cramps though, because you need the parts for that. But everything else sounds similar to what I go through. Not sure if this helps the case or not, I've suspected I have an intersex condition and I certainly started off quite feminine.
