The lining of your uterus builds up over the month in preparation for an egg to be implanted when fertilized. If this does not happen your hormones start the uterus to contract and expel the blood. When your uterus contract severely you feel it as cramping in your lower abdomen.

Your uterus is contracting to slough off the buildup on it's lining and the contractions are what causes the cramping in your lower abdomen.
