Did anyone else get period pains even when not having periods

I think I’ve been in peri menopause for a few years but this is the longest I’ve gone without a period ( nearly ten weeks) .But I keep getting period pains like I’m about to start. Not quite bad enough for painkillers, but that familiar bloated dragging feeling. I also have the upset tummy that I normally get with my period. But no period! I have other peri menopause symptoms too. Just wondering if this is common?
