About since September, whenever I get my period the first and second day it comes down REALLY bad. So bad it's to the point I have to change my tampon (the super one) every half an hour so it doesn't go through my pants. I've been getting really horrible cramps and extreamly moody and emotional. My mom always tells me that I have to try to deal with it but it's getting out of hand. I can't take this anymore! I might see a doctor soon about but I need to know if there is anything that my doctor might prescribe me so that my period isn't so much of a hassle, or if anyone is like me and how they've dealt with it. Thanks so much if you can help me out!

There is a pill they can put you on if you really want to, and it should stop the blood an awful lot and it will only be a bit not as much as you have now and you wont have to change ur tampon every half an hour!. But sometimes there are side affects people can become moody and they can put on weight with them pills, but it affects different people in different ways.

Your doctor will probably ask you a lot of questions about a lot of details and you need to answer them all very accurately. You may just need birth control pills. They help to regulate your hormone levels and keep your cycle as normal as it gets. Your doctor will also probably want to check for a cyst. Theyre more common than you think and if you have one, you'll have really bad cramps and moodiness. But, those are very treatable and once its gone, if you have one, youd feel 100 percent better. My bestfriend had a cyst. She even named it. lol But, yea, your doctor will take care of anything that may be wrong and i'm sure you'll feel a lot better soon after that.
luv, SARAH

But Im sure you already know this, I dont know what to tell you about your period being really heavy, but your doctor can put you on birthcontrol which helps cramps, and severe bleeding while your on your period. Thats the only thing I can think of, but your doctor knows way more than me, so. [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]

I would say see the doc about it, and the cramps, they make heating pads for abdominal pains, but if none are handy just wet a rag with hot water and put it over wherever the cramps are, since for every woman it can be different... <3 EJ [ EJ47's advice column | Ask EJ47 A Question ]
