really bad cramps


Question Posted Sunday October 1 2006, 2:25 am

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.

Ah! The same thing happens with me! However, its the day after I first start. I dread this day the most out of the whole week.

I take advil or tylenol and when Im sitting doing my homework or whatever, I use a heating pad.

Also try to avoid caffeine. Ive found that for the first couple days, if I cut out caffeine the cramps arent nearly as bad.

Make sure you drink lots of water, sleep well, and eat good food.

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.

Yes, unfortunatly, I have the same problem and I have that for the first three days. I have them really bad, but taking the pill is not a good idea. Because the side effects from the pills, are worse than what your period is.

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!

midol or any pain killer will stop your pain. also i know this sounds weird but light excersising does too.

Birth control does make cramps go away. I know someone whos on it. Also, if you were on birthconrol you only get your period every so often.

AHH!!! MIDOL!!! Midol will and is going to be your friend from now on. lmao. bc pills will just stop your period so that will be a no no.

Midol should be oyur #1 choice
Advil second
Tylenol third

If none of those work, go tell your mom about it and maybe she can arrg a meeting with a doc or gyno.

This happens to me too, the first day. It sucks. I started yesterday and probably said 492365525 cuss words.

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.

Good luck :]
