what to do if you have reall bad period cramps??

Like I’m going to start tomorrow and I always cramp a little the day before but the first day its HORRIBLE like I throw up, fever, really bad cramps like to the point where I cry sometime. I can’t do anything but lay in the bed the entire day its so bad. What can I do about this?? And.how could I bring up to my mom birth control because of this without her thinking I’m having sex because I’m not. Thanks guys (:

Answer #1

take some pills that will help with cramps and they should slowly go away within an hour. or you could lay on your bed and hold your stomach tight for awhile, that’s what I do and it works sometimes.

Answer #2

Take a bath or a hot waterbottle and put it in your tummy. Take Tylenol too

Answer #3

and for the birth control, just straight up talk to her and ask her if you can get on. be honest and tell her your not having sex. she can even get you tested to figure some things out if she donn’t believe you. or if you don’t feel comfortable talking to her about it, then talk to a sibling who is older if you have one about it and see if they can get u on it or to your mom about it. good luck (:

I dont know about the birth control thing but I do know what to do for the cramps. Mine are so bad I went to the hospital. & I was puking through my nose and blacking out and stumbling everywhere and everything. So I understand.. OKAY so, first get a heating pad. They can be found at Walgreens and at local drugstores for about 20 bucks. The heat calms the muscles and when you get the chills its nice to be warm. And then for the pain..For some people they just take midol or ibuprofen and theyre fine. So definfitley get midol and try that first. But for me, the doc gave me two different prescriptions, so visit your doctor and explain to him about your problem and he may be able to give you medications. I dont take the medications though, they dont work for me, but they might work for you. I take a midol, ibuprofen, 1-2 muscle relaxers, then a benedryl. If you cant sleep and you have cramps, take a benedryl, it helps you fall asleep. If your cramps arent all that bad, just take Midol, it can be found at Walmart and your local drug stores. Another important thing is to eat! You dont want to get low blood sugar. So eat something with lots of protein even if you are nautious. Oh by the way your doc can also prescribe you something so you arent so nautious. And now, for before your period, there are some things you can do. First, drink tons of water. Tons and tons and tons. It makes the period not as bad and seems to lessen the cramps a bit. Also, take the medications once you begin to get cramps, it takes time for them to kick in. So yeah. :) Good luck!

I have to admit that mine get really bad too, to the point of going to the hospital, moreover the emergency medical care center because it interacts with my medicine and I almost go into comas. What I would do would be to get a heating pad and put it on top of a small pillow and lie it on the floor. Than lay down on it with your back on top of the pillow. To lower the fever I’d get ice and put it behind your neck. WARNING! Don’t leave the ice on for to long or it could get you sick. Take some ibuprofen. Drink some ginger tea because it helps with your tummy, even if it tastes a little spicy. Trust me and you could talk to me if you’d like about this.

Answer #6

Oh, and also, bananas and pickle juice for some reason have been known to be good for cramps :)

Answer #7

Answer #8

Icedream & yoga ;33

Answer #9

Your mom probably knows that you go through this very moth do she should be able to understand when you assure her that it’s not to prevent pregnancy.

I had horrible cramps as well where I bled through a tampon and a pad in about 45 minutes. My mom actually suggested that I be out on birth control. It has helped A LOT. I’m currently taking Aviane birth control and it’s very low in hormones so I didn’t have any mood changes. My periods are so much lighter and my cramps are very mild.

When I had bad cramps, I would use a heating pad and I would take ibruprofen, not midol because midol has caffeine. Drinking warm lime juice with brown sugar works good, bananas are good too. I would also try to focus on something else like play a game on the computer if my cramps weren’t too bad.

I understand exactly what you’re going through, I think your best bet is to try birth control. Ask your mom to go to the gyno with you :) good luck!

Answer #10

If you drink cranberry juice or pickle juice it helps. I used to have cramps where I curled up into a ball and cried, and couldn’t move. I never get cramps now. And It’s easy to grab a bottle of cranberry juice and drink it. You might not like the taste, but you won’t have cramps.
