I get really REALLY bad cramps on the first day of my period. It's just so bad sometimes I don't know how I don't faint from pain. I've thrown up a couple of times when it's been really bad. I was wondering whether taking the Pill would stop these cramps? Or stop them happening so badly...Anyone with experience??? Thanks.
Melody answered Sunday October 8 2006, 10:44 am: taking the pill does help with cramps, but it won't make them go completely away. they will still suck, & it honestly won't make that big of a difference. try taking ibuprofin or another pain killer & lie down with a heating pad. take a nap, and don't eat greasy foods.

I just take the pain, it runs in my family so it's normal for me. You could go to the doctor, and ask him if there's anything you can do to help with your period. Good luck! [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]

Taking the birth control pill actually stops your period because your body is thinking its pregnant.
If medicine like Midol and Advil wont do the trick, definatley talk to your mom about the pain and ask if you can go to the doctor. He'll get you a pill thats safe. Or you can discuss alternatives to the pill. Maybe prescribed medicine or something.
