Period Puking: Every time I have a period though I throw up. Alot.
18/f
Okay, so I already take medications from to dr. to ease period pains,
Every time I have a period though I throw up. Alot. I don't want any girls that answer to think its an over-reaction, trust me, I do try to cope, but I just can't.
Its known that sickness will ease as a girl gets older-mine hasn't changed for years now.
How can I cope? What is it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Do you get headaches particularly migraines before you vomit? If that's the case what you may want to do is ask your pharmacist about Advil Liquid Gels. If you take them right when a headache hits especially a migraine it usually thwarts vomiting.
Another thing you may want on hand is Gravol so you can end nausea and feeling like you are going to vomit by taking a pill before you do. Next time you see your doctor talk to him/her about the vomiting as they will have more ideas.

Other than pain killers and products like Midol, the only things prescribed by doctors that I know of for extreme period pains, heavy periods and all other period problems is the birth control pill.
Did you have throwing up with periods before the doctor put you on "medicine" for the period pains?
If you did, whatever he/she gave you is not effective, go back to him/her and tell Dr.
If the throwing up didn't start until you were put on the medication, then I'd say it's a good bet that this is a side effect to whatever medication you are taking.
If your prescribed medication for pain is the birth control pill, here's why they prescribe it and how it works.
When the body is pregnant, it creates a hormone that tells the body not to release an egg anymore and not to have periods. If a period is abnormal gushing of blood or extremely painful, then Drs feel the best solution is to prescribe birth control pills because they will tell the body it is pregnant and the periods stop so any problems associated with a period also stop. Unfortunately a great majority of females begin to experience a few or alot of pregnancy symptoms which can range from headaches, to tenderness in the breast, weight gain, lack of libido, nausea/throwing up and whatever other symptoms that come along with pregnancy. Your body doesn't like this medication and until a different hormonal birth control is tried, you don't have a chance of it getting better. They may have to try many different kinds before finding one that works for you.
My daughters best friend had major problems already with period in 6th grade and was put on birth control pills which worked for her with no side effects.
So, no you don't have to find a way to 'cope'. What you need is a different medication. Go back to your doctor. And next time, don't let it go for month or years of putting up with it before you go back and tell doctor its' not helping. It may help with the extreme pain but to trade one extreme symptom for another one is not solving the problem, it's a continuation of a problem with a different cause.

Hm..What kind of medications does your doctor have you on?
By doctor, Is this a family doctor or a gynecologist?
Your best bet would be to see a gynecologist as he/she can prescribe birth control. There are birth control that is also to help with heavy periods.
Hugs to you, Feel better
