for me, it only happens once or twice a year. I get cramps that are bad enough to actually makes me sick or nauseous. Since I am vegan, I found that it was probably due to the large amount of soy I was eating one month- which has phytoestrogen, possibly raising my estrogen levels and creating a hormonal imbalance is generally what causes the massive amounts of pain I feel- for me at least.
