Is it possible to experienced menstrual cramps when lying down to sleep which subside upon sitting up?

Yes: Cramps can be unpredictable. Unfortunately they can sometimes be affected by changes in body position, actuvity level, food, temperature, fatigue/stress, weather, etc. Those symptoms do not make me think of anything particularly dangerous.
