Not really .As a girl you start your periode and cramps come along in the package.If you havent stared yet you may soon if your finding this jelly kinda stuff in your undies.If you have started then youw ill also have cramps sometimes they may kill your stomach and stay home.Tell you mother you wnat to go to the hostpital my friend went and got medication for it.You will still get cramps but not as bad.And a perosnal thing for me i crave sweets so maybe think of a food that you wnat right then and there and see what your mom or dad can get it will take your mind off the pain and more to the food.
hope i helped

It is not normal to get severe cramps like that! You should contact your doctor so they can put you on the pill. The pill will control your hormone levels, so your cramps won't be as severe. Every "girl talk" book I have has said to do that, so save yourself the misery and call the doc!! ]
it is a fairly common occurence in females, but if they are affecting to so badly, you should visit the doctor and they can give you medications to help with those.

that should be normal because i know alot of people that get serious cramps and also stay home from school.. try some advil or motrin and take a nap or something, that should help! good luck! ]
Well i get cramps real bad and u might want to take some motrin. It helps alot especially the kind from the doctor. ]
Not serious at all. I'm the same exact way. To help the pain, buy like a therma pad kind of thing and put it on where it hurts, it will help the pain go away, i don't think it will complete go away, but it will deffinetly help it be less painful.
You can also buy some Midol, thats also used to any type of period pain. :]
Hope you feel better! ]
That is not a serious problem i am exactly like you so i know waht your going through. My pains got so bad one day that my mom had to take me to the hospital they did a bunch of exams and it turns out i have a cist on my ovaries which causes alot of pain before,during, and after your period. So you may have a cist but you may not. If your really worried then you can get a appt at the gynocologist(sp?) and they will do an exam and most of the time they will give you pain medicine, which really helps. But for your question its not a serious problem but going to the doctor will help solve any questions or worries you have. Hope i helped!!

Hi
I have good news, and bad news. Good news....it is not a serious problem. Bad news....you'll likely always suffer from severe menstrual cramps.
I was/am exactly like you. My cramps were so bad, that I felt like I couldn't move. I went to my doctor (which you should do, just to be on the safe side), and she told me that some girls are just unlucky and have to deal with alot of pain.
She did give me a few options. Being on the birth control pill helps alot. When on the pill you don't have a "real" period, therefore the pain isn't as bad. There are also some prescription meds that can help minimize the pain.
I really noticed an improvement after having a baby. Now, I'm certainly not suggesting that you do this, but it's just hope for the future :)
Try putting a heating pad on your stomach...that helps me.
Take care,
Brenda ]
