12 almost 13-female
Ok so right now I'm in bed and I've been having the worst cramp for the past couple hours, since like 5:30. (like a million little devils are stabing me in my vagina and area above it) I have yet to have my period, but I've been have cramps like this, about as long and around the same-ish time, too. Do you think I'll be having my period soon? and, anyway to get rid of or slightly get rid of my cramps? another question, I do waterpolo from 4:00-5:30 everyday (around the time of my cramps, and trust me, they're not linked.) but I hate the idea of tampons, I can't even get one in! but I dont want to be like the horror movie where the girl hasherperiod in the pool. o-o that would be horrible. so, thats question number two; how do I deal with waterpolo and my hattred of tampons? owch please help soon it hurts very badly. xOx thank you for your consideration.

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
I will just add the following to what has already been said.
Your period is a natural function of a women's body. Not something to be embarrassed about. For the best advice on this question you should be talking to your mother. I'm sure she is waiting for you to come to her with the news that your first period has arrived. She can then help you with the proper sanitary products to choose and how best to help you with the cramps and other problems.
Remember what you are know experiencing Mom experienced when she had her first period. There is nothing sexual about a woman's period other than it is related to her sexual organ. It is as I said a normal bodily function just like any other bodily function you have.
So talk to your mom and let her know what is happening with your period. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is only embarrassing if you make it embarrassing.
Just for the record, we men know all about this stuff too. If we didn't know about it before we married we got a crash course right after we married. So if need be you can talk to your dad as well.

Your period may be coming soon. I get cramps when mine is going to be starting. It sucks, a lot. What I would do when I would get them is I would take a couple tylenol, midol, or ibuprofen, and relax in a hot shower. If you don't feel like taking a hot shower, a heating pad will work just as well too. Placing the heating pad on your crampy area of course. As for tampons, at first they do hurt. But do also take into consideration the sizes they have. There are different sizes, such as juniors. I believe those are the smallest ones, so it may not hurt as much. If you do end up with your period, and still don't want to use tampons, then you'll have to sit out from water polo. It does not sound enjoyable, but it's the only alternative you have if you absolutely do not wish to use tampons. Also, do remember that if you do decide to use tampons, and it hurts or you feel uncomfortable after it's been inserted, it means it was not properly put in. Then you'll have to try again. Always be sure it is fully in there, and I don't mean to just ram it in, put it in carefully, as you don't want to harm yourself. It takes some time to get use to, and some practice to get it comfortable, but in time, you'll realize it's a lot more comfortable than a pad. But it all depends on the person.
