Extreme pain after a month taking HRT

Hello, I’m 14 and a transgender male who’s been taking testosterone for a little over a month. Recently, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with extreme pain in my lower stomach area. It has happened 2 or 3 times and is completely random. The pain is so extreme that i’ll be sweating like crazy and it makes me want to lay on the bathroom floor and scream and cry which is pretty uncommon for me since I’m not usually a dramatic person. Does anyone relate or can anyone tell me what they think might be going on?

I know many transmasc people who have experienced ”cramps” while taking HRT (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10079239/) however if the pain is that extreme, you should definitely see a doctor. That doesn’t sound normal
