i’ve never had consistent period cramps before but I turned 30 and i’ve had cramps for 3 days??

i’ve never had painful period cramps before to this extent. usually they last maybe 5-10 minutes but this period i’ve had cramps 24/7 for three days and I feel like i’m going insane.
I have so many friends that have bad cramps every month and I’ve never related until now.

I just turned 30 last month and not sure if it’s a coincidence. has anyone had this issue, any answers or advice?

also i’ve never been pregnant and never been on birth control. thanks 🥺
