cramps on the pill

i’ve been on my pill for 5 years now (was on the convinced for 4 and then been on the mini for last year) before i started the pill i had AWFUL period cramps, well since i’ve started the pill, i hardly every take breaks, therefore i pretty much never have cramps. i’ve had cramps about 3 times over the last year (yay!) However, i woke up at like 3am with excruciatingly painful cramps randomly like they used to be, why could this be? could it be a sign i need a break? or just an unfortunate womanly thing? either way i am in pain lol! thanks!
